Don’t let the liberal media twist this. Here’s what actually happened.
It was a headline-grabbing moment during an electrifying night of sports and politics.
President Donald J. Trump, once again, showed he’s still the main attraction wherever he goes — this time at UFC 314 in Miami. The packed Kaseya Center erupted in cheers as the 47th President made his grand entrance, flanked by supporters, veterans, and members of his inner circle.
But while the crowd was on fire, cameras caught a brief — and awkward — moment that quickly went viral.
A Missed Handshake? Cheryl Hines Left Hanging
Actress Cheryl Hines, wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stood next to her husband with her hand extended as President Trump approached.
He shook Kennedy’s hand with warmth and enthusiasm… but appeared to walk right past Hines, leaving her empty-handed and momentarily frozen. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star gave a slight wave and smiled through it — but the moment didn’t go unnoticed by millions watching online.
RFK Jr. appeared to laugh off the encounter, as his wife gave Trump a light pat on the back before shifting her focus to warmly greet Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, who was also at the event.

Trump Makes Amends with Hines Moments Later
Despite the social media chatter, all seemed well shortly after. New photos surfaced showing President Trump chatting one-on-one with Hines and RFK Jr., even clasping Cheryl’s hand while speaking to her in a friendly exchange.
It’s the kind of moment that political insiders and celebrity gossip sites love — and one that once again demonstrates President Trump’s unmatched ability to dominate the media cycle.
The Backstory: Hines Wasn’t Always a Trump Supporter
Cheryl Hines had previously made headlines in 2024 when she stated that, while she stood by her husband, she did not support President Trump’s candidacy.
However, after Trump’s historic election victory, Hines was reportedly seen mingling at Mar-a-Lago and chatting with members of the MAGA inner circle.
“Cheryl was talking to everyone, including Donald Trump,” a source told Page Six. “She seemed to be fitting in well.”
It’s a reminder that politics — like showbiz — is full of twists, turns, and unexpected alliances.
