Any body see Melania's horrified face after shaking Putin's hand?

Europe did.

Eagle-eyed viewers have been combing through the footage trying to get a read on what was going on between Putin and Trump.

And now some of them have spotted something very strange happening to Melania.

The 48-year-old reached and shook hands with Putin and then moments later appeared to have a disgusted look on her face.

It is unknown what was going through her mind, but fans have said she “short circuited” and looked “horrified”.


damn, I can't post the image. Won't let me! It's striking. I noticed this a few days ago.

I noticed the same thing with Laura Bush when she was around shrub in public. She would stand or sit very still with a faint smile and her eyes were glassy as hell.
harder to tell Melanie's eyes, tho.

All the stories about Trump's Dr. Feelgood who had him supposedly on uppers for years.
I'm sure there might be an explanation down that rabbit hole.

then back to dead. Just like inauguration day when she put on a fake smile for Trump, which went back to robotic dead mode when he turned his back on her.

As in, the former Yugoslavia. And 48 years old.

She understands, and rightly fears, "former" Communist killers. Her former country went through a lot at the hands of Communists.

No doubt she detests Putin.
