'Michelle Obama has more class in her fingernail than that twit has overall.she is disgusting and will NOT be our First Lady,' writes Linda Truppi, a statement that close to 2,500 people have given a thumbs up. The most liked comment however praises the First Lady while also attacking Mrs. 'Michelle Obama aka #FLOTUS is one classy lady,' wrote one woman in a comment that has received over 2,000 likes. Given the title of the page however most of the comments praise the First Lady. The meme has been shared over 60,000 times on Facebook in the past week and led to some heated exchanges in the comment section of the post. Many of the Melania memes take her plagiarism of a Michelle Obama speech as a kick-off point: images include Melania, resplendent in front of an American flag, under the words, “a proud independent black woman: Melania Trump”, another features her looking pensive, under the banner: “speech -writing degree: Trump University”.The original: Mrs Trump found herself featured in a political meme earlier this year with a pic of her from a primary event running next to a candid of Heidi Cruz But this week she also become a figure of fun. Predictably, Melania Trump has been subjected to the crude misogyny that most liberals affect to denounce. “Je suis Barron,” quipped the online mob “Barron Trump is how we’re all feeling now”Twitter wrote in a report for its Moments news service. Barron was on stage as his father delivered a campaign victory speech, his eyes glassy, his expression disturbed. Sad Barron Trump, one of last week’s offerings, was respectable, if you’re OK with using a lonely 10-year old as a viral joke - which, apparently, everyone is. A picture of Joe Biden as a young man which went viral didn’t say anything much apart from, “wow, Joe Biden was a hot young man”. There were, of course, other slightly less profound offerings. Goodfellow, incidentally, thinks it is important to credit the author, lending credence to the sense that memes are creative property. You need to be fluent in issues of the day you need an eye for visual comedy and a ear for tone and pace. At their best, memes can be the apex of internet-literate modern humour. Sure, Swift and Orwell were doing theirs with essays and novels while this patchwork 21st-century version involves stitching together pictures and words but it functions similarly: a quick, revealing quip that strikes at a particular truth.
This is where memes actually have a (semi) function: topical satire. Instagrammers react to the US election news.How 'Calexit' is creating a liberal republic in California.Piers Morgan 'got more time on phone with Trump than PM did'.In 2007, he opposed the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which opposed discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, and in 2010 he opposed repealing the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell directive in the US military, telling CNN he didn’t want the military to be “backdrop for social experimentation”. The caption imagines a conversation between President and his Vice-President: “Joe, why are you still holding my hand?” “I wanna freak Mike Pence out.” “But why?” “Just roll with it.” Pence - Trump’s Vice-President-elect - is a voluble opponent of LGBTQ rights: he has called being gay a choice and said preventing gay people from marrying was “God’s choice”. For example, one image shows Obama and Biden clasping hands.
