Back in 2019, Trump held a meeting in the Oval Office with the Italian President, Sergio Mattarella.

Over the course of the meeting, Trump ranted for the FBI to release the nonexistent Crowdstrike server and claimed that the relationship between Italy and the United States goes back "thousands of years."

Italian tranlsator Elisabetta Savigni Ullmann went viral for her perplexed and bewildered facial expressions at the meeting, appearing visibly confused in trying to make sense of then-President Donald Trump's rambling.

Watch below.

Flash forward to this week, when President Joe Biden traveled to Rome for a visit with the Pope and other prominent global figures.

As Biden joked with Pope Francis, people noticed a familiar face: Ullman's. Her demeanor was noticeably different than the day of the convoluted Oval Office meeting.

Check it out.

Side by side video suggested a stark contrast in Ullman's demeanor around the two Presidents. While she appears bewildered and baffled behind Trump, she seems gleeful and at ease with Biden.

The video sparked loads of reactions online.

Man's Poignant Message On T-Shirt About Wife's Dementia Is Giving TikTok All The Feels

Whether or not you've seen The Notebook movie starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel by the same name, you've likely heard about the premise of the film, which is now a popular trope in romance novels: a husband reminding his wife, who has dementia, of who he is and that he loves her, every day for the rest of her life.

Seeing this trope in action in real life seems like it would be a few-and-far-between event, so it seems only fitting that TikToker @kepoxia_cdrama, who loves posting about romantic tropes and scenes from TV dramas, would experience it.
