What’s the first thing you do at a 9/11 memorial service? Fist pump of course. Well, that’s what you do if you’re Donald Trump.
The 72-year-old gave the thoughtless gesture, along with an equally baffling facial expression, as he arrived in Pennsylvania for the service. The event was to honor the 3,000 victims killed in the terrorist attacks on 11th September, 2001, and it goes without saying that the action was completely out of sync with the seriousness of the occasion.

Although the US President’s bizarre behavior has become a tenet of his time in office, the nation was still shocked at his inability to be solemn for one day of the year. But if one good thing came out of the occasion, it’s the memes.
It began when artist Rob Sheridan created a convenient PNG of Trump and asked Twitter to run with it.
It just so happened that I’ve been doing Photoshop masking all morning for a project, so when I saw this photo I knew what I had to do. Here’s a PNG with a transparent background, please do your absolute worst: https://t.co/lCKdwD0PrI pic.twitter.com/lZmsoHtTE9
