Queen M¨¢xima of the Netherlands is facing accusations of mocking US President Donald Trump during a live television appearance on Wednesday. A viral video that is currently doing the rounds on the internet shows Maxima appearing to imitate Trump's distinctive facial expressions even as she stood right next to him.
The viral video was captured in the Netherlands, where Trump spent less than 24 hours of the NATO summit. In the clip, the president was spotted standing next to the queen and her husband, King Willem-Alexander.
As soon as the video surfaced on the internet, it gathered millions of views on social media within just a few hours.
The incident occurred during his time in the Netherlands for the NATO summit, and Trump stayed at the Dutch royal palace, Huis Ten Bosch, instead of a luxury hotel. The three appeared to be discussing details about his visit.
The king told Trump, ¡°Well I hope you slept well!¡±. To which Trump replied saying ¡°It was great, the house is¡ [inaudible]¡±, after which he broke off to smile for the camera. Following this, a split second later, the Queen Maxima turned and appeared to imitate Trump's expression.
As the video surfaced on social media, it captured the attention of netizens, some of whom said that the Dutch queen allowed her intrusive thoughts to take over for a moment.
¡°She did let her intrusive thoughts in, and I can appreciate her for it,¡± a user wrote in the comment under the viral video on Instagram.
?"I watched this 100 times."??
While another added, "Every leader, around the world, makes fun of him and I mean literally EVERYONE. ?"
"Now why would she look into the camera like that? Do it again lol," one added.
One wrote, "It's the way she really leaned in to study it then mocked it. ??"
On Wednesday, Trump concluded his involvement in the annual NATO summit, having dealt with an alliance that had, for the most part, yielded to his demands.
