New Delhi, Delhi, India
Trump has been savaged, at home and even by members of his Republican party, ever since his meeting with Russia's President Putin.
The two met in Helsinki, Finland on Monday where Trump said he believed Russia had not influenced the 2016 US election. His intelligence agencies believe the exact opposite.
But now it seems somebody else might not have enjoyed the summit (or its fallout in the case of Trump) — US First Lady Melania Trump.
Video is now emerging of her shaking Putin's hand.
In the video, Melania smiles through the handshake and appears to be making small talk...
But then she turns away and makes a face that could be described as a mixture of rolling her eyes and looking horrified.
The camera finally also catches her gulping, a reaction very often associated with fear.
The video, expectedly, has gone viral.
Watch:

While making a few minor (major?) variations to the general theme:
Melania, find someone who looks at you the way your husband looks at Putin. pic.twitter.com/A5TphOY4iO

It’s so cruel to tweet jokes about Trump being in love with Putin what if Melania sees and thinks she’s finally free
