Thursday evening following his bizarre press conference, President Trump took to Twitter to post a photo of he and his 13 most dedicated Republican congress members, captioned #MakeAmericaGreatAgain, as per usual.

However, Twitter users were quick to notice the obvious lack of diversity and representation in the photo, which included 12 white males, and, drumroll, one white woman. (Following signing a bill undoing Obama's coal mining legislation, no less.) While Trump's obviously problematic vision for America can be depressing, Twitter took the photo and made it into a hilarious meme, because we could all use a laugh right now, TBH.

And then there were the downright savage responses:

Donald Trump's inability to consider the ways in which diverse perspectives might actually make America great again is disappointing (to say the least), but thank goodness for Twitter's ability to make a meme out of any of 2017's cringe-worthy political situations, am I right?
