Just minutes after the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin kicked off, social media users have already turned Putin’s expression into a meme.
Although the world leaders’ first one-on-one meeting in seven years was supposed to be focused on Russia’s war in Ukraine, the Russian president’s facial expressions — a series of befuddled looks, eyes darting around with a furrowed brow — seem to have already stolen the show. Putin made the faces when reporters bombarded him with questions in the first few moments of the summit.
X users quickly turned his expressions into memes.
“Confused when asked real questions,” one X user wrote.
“Me pretending not to hear my coworker asking for help setting up the Teams meetings,” yet another quipped.
“TFW you remember you’re in a country where you can’t just poison the press when they get too loud,” another remarked.
“What am I even doing here? What the f*** are they saying?” another said.
