The victory of Donald Trump in the 58th US presidential elections was something of a phenomenon. The choice between Trump and his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton was quite the Sophie’s choice, given that one is a racist, misogynist hate-speech spewing, tax evading demagogue and the other is a corrupt, pro-corporations, and email-deleting politician.
Trump’s ascension to power has triggered everything from protests, to mad outbreaks of hate crime. But there is another thing that this doomsday notification has led to, is a series of memes. In this millennial-driven election, memes have had a pretty weird role to play. Who can forget just how much Trump supporters rallied under Pepe the Frog? But now that he is in power, those who don’t like Trump, have resorted to going back to one of the more light-hearted memes political memes, the world has seen in the last decade or so.

The lovable duo that was the suave and serious President Barack Obama, and his trusty sidekick, the very eccentric and avuncular vice president Joe Biden, have become America’s (and probably the world’s) favourite meme template.
Their bromance is legendary in world politics but, post Trump’s victory, the template has changed a little bite. Joe Biden, in his folksy ways, has become the sort of problem-child everyone loves in kid’s movies. He troubles the bad guy with pranks and silly jokes. And his responsible friend Barack Obama is the observer, though mostly, he never gets in the way. I mean it’s pretty obvious he’s having a laugh on the inside.
From changing the Oval Office decor, to not giving away the WiFi password, let’s have a look at the best pranks Joe and Barack play on Trump.

Joe Biden is exactly like that "cool" uncle you have. Accidentally funny because of how hard he tries to be hip!

It's adorable just how much these memes manage to capture what this duo may have been like had they been friends as kids.
