While Kornhauser-Duda turned back and shook Trump’s hand, the moment made headlines in international media.
The clip began circulating again on social media platforms such as X and Threads in early 2025. This time, users focused closely on Trump’s reaction, in particular, his facial expression as the interaction unfolded.
“Wow. Smooth move. Totally left him hangin! The look on his face is worth $$$) I’ve seen a few of these but this maybe the best. I love every one of them though,” said one user on X, while another said, “The look on Trump's face is priceless.”

A third said, “Well he is disgusting.”
On Threads, one commenter said, “Look at Trump’s face. This woman is a class act!” A second said, “Oh, orange face was embarrassed. He had egg all on his face.”

“And the way he glared at her is priceless. Love it,” said a third. A fourth user noted, “Did you see the evil side eye that Trump gave that woman?”
Netizens also pulled out another 2017 image, this time from the G20 summit held in Hamburg, Germany.
In the image, Trump is sitting, eyes closed and alone, at a table next to two empty chairs at the 2017 Group of 20 forum, while other attendees are seen conversing around him in the background.

“I would like to nominate the photographer for a Nobel Peace Prize for this remarkable photography,” a user captioned the image.
Threads users trolled the president, with people saying, “He deserves to be alienated,” “He’s a global bully and should be ignored,” “It's lonely at the bottom,” and “This makes my heart sing. I hope he is miserable for the rest of his (hopefully) short life.”
Trump was recently heavily trolled at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, especially for not being greeted on the red carpet.
“Trump arrived in Davos for the WEF conference and he brought his own red carpet. Nobody greeted him as well while he for some reason was walking sideways on it,” said an X user.
There were conflicting reports about whether Trump, 79, brought his own carpet, but many mocked him for walking alone, seemingly hobbled.
