Trump kiss by May 31?

Analysis

This isn't a political question. It's a calendar-and-camera question, and both are pointing the same direction. Trump has eleven days of wall-to-wall public appearances — rallies, diplomatic stops, ceremonial events, rope lines. Every one of those is a setting where a quick cheek kiss or hand kiss happens as naturally as a handshake. The rules are generous: it doesn't even need to be reciprocated. Here's what seals it: this is a man with a decade of footage doing exactly this. Kissing supporters, greeting dignitaries, playing to the cameras. It's baked into his public persona. Over eleven days of nonstop contact, the real question isn't whether it'll happen — it's whether a photographer catches it cleanly. The only real risk is that every moment like this gets missed by reputable cameras, or the window turns out unusually quiet. Neither looks likely given what's on the schedule. The YES case doesn't require anything dramatic. It just requires one ordinary political moment that happens constantly in public life — and that's a low bar over nearly two weeks. I'd take YES without hesitation: the schedule is too packed and the definition too broad for this not to happen.
