Imagine having your piano played by a famous world leader and it isn't tuned💀💀💀

[royhsieh]

it's not the tune that's problematic, its the piano becoming nervous

[karinashaper]

The piano needs to be tuned. It's extremely out of tune. One would think this would be maintained.

[markl]

That piano was definitely made in China.

[TheFireHawk]

The piano was scared and sounded out of tune, performance anxiety from the piano

[oobleck]

he played a theme from one of my favorite childhood movies

Putin: In Russia, the piano plays you

[royrogers]

As much as people make fun of this, it’s very relatable. Sounds like me at my grandmas house on her piano

[quackishy]

this guy seems nice, he seems like a person who respects everyone, and resepcts ukraine

[MinhNguyen-wyvv]

I just love how he giggles at the end. What a legend 😂

[bakedutah]

Quite a man. How does he manage to be leader of both Russia and the USA and still find time for music? You Americans must be very proud.

[mariomanningfan]

I don't play paino, and I still immediately realized how horribly out of tune that thing is

[MacrossFaltenmeyer]

Dude they could tune it before he arrived

[JohnLee-skpy]

Missed a a couple notes, supreme leader.

[thecrazeecow]

Hate it when people open the piano lid incorrectly like that

[bash]

Please, teel me the name of the song! Thanks

[sinistar]
