Still, I guess it will not last long like most memes of exploitable nature these days, but hey, it managed to get its 15 minutes of fame before falling to obscurity, and that is… well, a rarity.

Besides, this is still preferable over all the "Trump did a thing/Someone did a thing about Trump" nontroversies plaguing the frontpage lately, so I personally have no complaints.
