    Former President Donald Trump sought to seal his record-long convention speech with a kiss. And perhaps, missed.

    Their seemingly awkward moment is in stark contrast to other convention couples, including Trump's own running mate and Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who could be seen hand-in-hand with wife Usha Vance throughout the week in Milwaukee.
