These memes are from a recent meeting between the Trump
family and Pope Francis. Just the idea of Trump meeting the Pope may bring a
tear to your eye – but wait until you see these photos!
Being The Pope isn't easy. Just ask Pope Francis. Or
better still, just look at this picture of him posing with Donald Trump. He's
trying to smile. He really is. But some challenges are just too great, even for
a man with God on his side.
The hilariously awkward photograph was taken during
Trump's recent visit to The Vatican, and while The Donald is clearing having a
blast, the poor Pope looks just like many of us feel. Even funnier than the
original picture however is the internet's reaction to it, especially the
deluge of memes it's spawned. Check out some of our favorites below, and feel
free to join the fun by adding your own to the list! The Pope might not be
laughing, but we certainly are.
Trump seems to have been the only one enjoying himself!
Lifewire defines a “meme” as a cultural symbol or social idea that has gone viral
The world “meme” was coined by Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist in 1976.
And comes from the Greek word “mimema,” which means “something imitated,” according to the American Heritage Dictionary.
Memes are a worldwide social phenomenon, according to Lifewire; they get spread around social media like flu and cold viruses.
Most memes are photos with captions that are supposed to be either funny or used as a way to ridicule a human behavior.
You really couldn’t have planned the Pope’s reaction any better!
Cecil Adams from theStraightDope.com said that memes are “either really, deep or really, really obvious.”
