It’s been a somber start to the new year, having been reminded, daily, that we will soon have to say goodbye to Obama and have a narcissistic man-baby sworn in as President. People will start saying the words “President” and “Trump” together; some may even manage to do so without gagging.
But as we enter into these times of uncertainty and ask ourselves, “WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? IS THIS REAL LIFE?” we find ourselves united by one thing: hilarious tweets at his expense.
HISTORY OF US PRESIDENTS:

I left drunken messages on my ex’s answering machine in college more presidential than Trump’s latest string of tweets.

There is a delicious irony when Twitter, The Orange One’s favorite social media platform, erupts into jokes about him.
And we would be remiss not to include tweets about recent (unverified) British intelligence leaks, published by Buzzfeed earlier this week, which indicate Trump could be blackmailed by Russian surveillance of him watching prostitutes urinate on a bed.
This information resulted in #goldenshowers trending on Twitter, a scandal I can only assume will one day be referred to as Watersportsgate:
Reagan: Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall.
Trump: Mr Putin, please don’t release video of me banging hookers.

Donald Trump — the Obama Birther who linked Ted Cruz’s dad to the JFK assassination — is deeply upset about dubious allegations.

Dear Trump fans:
Turns out that hot mug of liberal tears you were sipping was something else entirely.

NIXON: No way can you pull off a more scandal-ridden presidency than I did.
TRUMP: Hold my beer.
NIXON: Wait this isn’t beer
