To Iranian President Rouhani: Another Trump tweet gets the meme treatment

The US president’s tweet was a response to comments made by Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani about America’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement between the two countries.

Rouhani told a gathering of diplomats: “America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars.”

Trump responded with a furious, all-caps tweet warning Rouhani to “never, ever threaten the United States again”.

To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

The threatening tweet was interpreted with humour by some on Twitter, who used various forms of meme to make fun of the US president.

By far the most popular meme involved people using the tweet format to make other kinds of complaint, quote films and songs, or make jokes.

To Iranian President Rouhani: I AM EMAILING ON BEHALF OF THE ESTATE OF NIGERIAN PRINCE ABACHA TUNDE. I WRITE TO REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN TRANSFERRING MONEY FROM ACCOUNT, WHICH IS REQUIRED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO LEGAL. PLEASE REPLY WITH YOUR BANK DETAILS TO ASSIST THIS. BE CAUTIOUS!
