On Wednesday, June 5, 2019, the First Couple had the pleasure of meeting several war veterans, and one of them, 93-year-old Thomas Cuthbert, was fascinated by Melania.

While shaking hands with Trump, the Elmstead Market resident hinted that if he was 20 years younger he would have tried his luck with the former model.

A SOMEWHAT AWKWARD MOMENT

Cuthbert said:

"She's nice, isn't she? If it wasn't for you, and if only I was 20 years younger."

The U.S. President chuckled and told him that he would certainly be able to handle Melania, no question about it. The First Lady didn't say anything but politely smiled at Cuthbert.

It has been reported that the 93-year-old was awarded the Legion D'Honeur back in 2017 and that he served in the Navy aboard a landing barge oiler responsible for refueling other ships.

The Prince of Wales commented that it must have been terrible to experience the constant smell of the fuel, with Cuthbert claiming that he was always sick while in the Navy.

The veteran told the Prince:

"I remember being in the Navy and always being sick, and there was always someone who was never sick and would always appear with a mug of steaming soup."
