Donald Trump Rubbing JD Vance’s Wife’s Back on Camera Sparks Outrage — You Won’t Believe the Reactions (Watch)”
A short video is causing a lot of buzz online. It’s just 19 seconds long, but it shows former President Donald Trump placing his hand on the back of Usha Vance, wife of Vice President JD Vance, during the January inauguration. People on the internet are not happy about it.
The video was recently shared again by an Instagram page called Roman Family Strong. It shows Trump rubbing Mrs. Vance’s back as she helped guide her children right after her husband was sworn in.
Former President Joe Biden was also standing nearby. The video caught attention not just because of what happened, but because it involved Usha Vance the first Indian-American and Hindu second lady in U.S. history.
Social media users reacted fast, saying the moment made them uncomfortable. One caption said, “Come on, dude! Really, why do you have to touch everything?” Others criticized Trump’s behavior, saying it’s part of a pattern and questioned why he’s still seen as a “family man.” One commenter said, “I’m 100% sure you wouldn’t trust him with your teenager.”
This also reminded people of how Trump had complimented Mrs. Vance during the ceremony, saying she was even smarter than her husband. She stood out that day in a pink designer coat and stylish boots, which some felt Trump paid too much attention to.
For many, this video brought back old memories. Trump has been accused of inappropriate behavior toward women for years. People compared this moment to past scandals, like the 2005 Access Hollywood tape and legal cases involving writer E. Jean Carroll. In those cases, juries found Trump responsible for sexual abuse and defamation, ordering him to pay millions in damages.
Another old clip started going around too one from 2010 showing TV host Mika Brzezinski playfully running her hands through Trump’s hair. At the time, it seemed harmless, but people are now looking at it differently, especially considering how their relationship soured once Trump entered politics.
One Instagram user summed it up: “He just can’t help himself.” As Trump starts his second term, these kinds of moments small gestures caught on camera and replayed endlessly online continue to raise concerns about his behavior and how he acts in public.
Trump is also dealing with 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records and a $454 million civil fraud ruling, which he’s appealing. Still, something as small as a hand on a back is once again sparking debate about his actions and whether he’ll ever stay out of trouble.
