Twitter absolutely loses it over Trump's meeting with the Russians
So Trump reportedly revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador during a meeting last week, as you do.
The U.S. press was barred from the meeting -- only their Russian counterparts were invited, naturally -- but multiple officials revealed the news to the Washington Post for a report published Monday.
The news was met with various shades of dismay and disappointment from pretty much every quarter as the enormity of Trump's latest actions set in.
However, the internet was on hand as ever to assuage some of our existential fear with the usual buffet of GIFs, quips and LOLs.
The Daily Show quickly fired off an excellent tweetstorm that really needs to be read in its native setting to be appreciated while Trump's old tweets on the topic came back to bite him in the ass.
The Twitter wit then came thick and fast to normalize contextualize Trump's boo boo.
