“Can I shake your hand, sir?” one of the male hospital staff members asked. .

President Trump quickly complied and shook the hands of the hospital employees, thanking them for their hard work.

“Thank you, first lady,” said one of the female employees as Melania Trump shook the hands as well.

“Thank you all very much,” he said.

“I love you, Ivanka,” said one of the male employees as Ivanka Trump smiled and Jared Kushner gave a thumbs up before the White House delegation continued its visit.
