People on Twitter are losing their minds over an insanely viral photograph that has emerged from President Trump‘s visit to Saudi Arabia.
Let’s get some context, shall we? Trump is still on his intercontinental diplomacy tour, and he met with King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi after giving an anti-terrorism speech in Riyadh. As part of today’s events, the three leaders joined together for the grand opening of the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology, a facility designed to monitor and fight online extremism.
At one point, Trump, Salman, and al-Sissi toasted the center’s opening by putting their hands on a giant, glowing orb representing the globe.
Pictures of the event made their way online, and people busted out their best jokes and references about how (I guess) Trump has joined an international ritual to harness the secret powers of the dark netherworlds.

Lots of snickering from armchair presidents who have never allowed themselves to be drained of their Life-Force to sustain the Great Orb https://t.co/Hs8vJsqYBm
