Given the period in which he rose to political power, and the way he did, it would be harder to explain if President Donald Trump wasn’t the most meme-able man on the planet.

As such, the internet is laden with GIFs from his journey to the nomination. As his term has entered its fourth year, Trump has become slightly less GIFable, perhaps due to fatigue or saturation, but the ones in existence from his campaign and first few years right now are still as popular as ever.

And it’s not just among his adoring followers; liberals are just as quick to use a “Wrong” GIF to respond in an online fight as anyone else.

Maybe the “J” in his middle name is actually a soft “G.” Donald GIF Trump.

At the same time, this was the debate he went on a “vaccines cause austism” tear, so this face was probably extremely relatable to viewers.

2) The infamous Melania GIF

Unrecorded

This GIF of First Lady Melania Trump during Trump’s inauguration caught a lot of attention. She can be seen smiling at her husband until he turns around, where her faces immediately changes to a more somber expression.
