Giorgia Meloni Rolls Eyes at Trump During White House Meeting

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was caught rolling her eyes at Donald Trump during a high-stakes meeting with European leaders at the White House. The gathering included officials from Germany, the UK, France, Finland, and the EU, focused on advancing a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.

Meloni first rolled her eyes at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz while he stressed the importance of a ceasefire. She rolled them again as Trump appeared to make a joke about Italian governments’ short tenures, referencing Italy’s 68 administrations since WWII.

The moments quickly went viral on social media. Users praised Meloni’s expressions, with comments like, “Italy’s Prime Minister has some of the best eye rolling,” and, “She’s thinking ‘he’s such a fool.’” Others noted that while many world leaders silently judge Trump, Meloni’s reactions were unusually candid.

Her eye rolls have become a viral symbol of exasperation with Trump on the global stage, capturing the attention of millions online.

Imagine telling a joke to World Leaders and getting a fake laugh with an eye-roll. That’s what Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni did.pic.twitter.com/POKnDlKP6j
