 "Donald Trump-Vladimir Putin summit: Twitter has a field day mocking US president for toeing Russian line")
Expectations were high from US president Donald Trump’s meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for a one-on-one summit in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday. The latter was accused of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election by US intelligence, but Trump openly questioned his own agencies, and seemingly accepted Putin’s assertions that Russia’s hands are clean. The summit led to a flurry of furious reactions and memes on social media, with netizens wasting no time in pointing out the hilarity of the situation. Many drew parallels with Marvel’s Infinity War.
Many popular memes made a reappearance in a new format.
So much so that Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Trump, also taunted the latter, and asked him which side he plays for.
Great World Cup. Question for President Trump as he meets Putin: Do you know which team you play for?

And he wasn’t the only person to suggest Putin was Trump’s boss. Star Trek actor George Takei chimed in:
If this is what Trump is willing to say in public before the whole world, imagine what he was saying in private to his boss, Putin.
