Was the exchange a diss? Not so much. Was it yet another awkward handshake situation involving the Donald? Judge for yourself.

UPDATE: July 6, 2017, 3:47 p.m. EDT A previous version of this story stated that Kornhauser-Duda ignored Trump. New video footage shows that the first lady of Poland greeted Melania first before moving on to greet Trump. The video has been added and the post has been updated to reflect the full exchange.

Later, Duda posted about the handshake stories and referenced one of Trump's favorite topics, fake news.
