The White House tried to turn one of President Donald Trump’s odd moments into a viral meme on Wednesday, but not everyone was smashing that “like” button.
Earlier in the day, Trump arrived nearly an hour late to a key G7 meeting in France, where most of the other world leaders were already assembled.
He first walked to the wrong side of the table and had to circle back to get to his spot.
About halfway there, at the head of the table, he paused and turned to the other leaders.
“I’m the boss,” he announced:
There was some laughter in the room, and Trump continued toward his seat, smiling at some of the other leaders as he approached.
The White House social media team created at least three posts trying to turn the “boss” moment into a meme, including one that repeated the phrase in an hour-long loop.
