Vladimir Putin presented Donald Trump with a soccer ball from the World Cup in Russia ... and then dropped the following eye-rolling metaphor ...
"Mr President, I'll give this ball to you ... and now the ball is in your court."
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It all went down at a massive media event in Helsinki, where the two world leaders had a private meeting for several hours where they discussed everything from election interference to NATO.
Trump was fired up about the meeting -- and the soccer ball -- throwing it to Melania (who was sitting in the front row) and announcing that he would be giving it to his son Barron.
