Hilarious: President Putin Gives Reporters A Goofy Side-Eye

This was the funniest moment in President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s meeting in Alaska.

While President Trump and Putin were sitting together about to begin their discussions, press members blasted the two leaders with questions.

The massive number of questions being yelled out by reporters clearly amused Putin, and in response, he gave them a playful side-eye look.

Take a look:

Reporters are bombarding putin with tough questions.

It was complete chaos:

Journalists tried to ask Putin questions, but judging by his gestures, he didn't hear anything because of the noise.
