Today we will tell you about the 7 most strange “kissing moments” in the history of politics, which will make you laugh as well as make you dizzy!
1. Al Gore and Tipper Gore – The power of love or the pressure of the camera?

2. Donald Trump and Angela Merkel – The kiss that never happened!
Many times such pictures appear in politics which have nothing to do with reality. When Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel faced each other at the 2017 G7 summit, Trump extended a friendly hand. But the camera captured something that made it seem as if Trump was trying something else! Merkel’s facial expressions showed that she did not want to take part in this “joke”.
3. Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump – Just wrong timing!
It is absolutely normal for a father to show affection towards his daughter. But when this affection is captured from the wrong angle of the camera, the internet takes no time in turning it into a meme. In one such photo, Donald Trump was seen kissing Ivanka on the cheek, and the camera angle made the moment even more dramatic. This picture immediately became a topic of discussion on the internet!
4. Donald and Melania Trump – Camera ready, but was Trump also ready?
Sometimes it is not easy to pose in front of the camera, especially when you are the most powerful man in the world.

Melania’s surprised face made this moment even more interesting!
5. Barack and Michelle Obama – Just a matter of wrong angle!
People know the pair of Barack and Michelle Obama as a perfect couple. But the camera angle can get anyone into trouble!

However, the Obamas’ laughter proved that it was just an innocent mistake.
6. George W. Bush and Oprah – an interesting combination of celebrity and politics
It is common for politicians to mingle with the general public or media personalities. But when in 2004 George W. When Bush appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s show, the two shared a light cheek kiss in a friendly gesture. Now, this moment was probably a common courtesy, but the cameras made it seem like it was the most awkward moment between politics and entertainment!
7. Barack Obama and Angela Merkel – friendly greeting or something else?
When Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel met at the G7 summit in 2012, Obama placed a friendly hand on Merkel’s shoulder and smiled slightly.
