He was savaged for appearing to curtsy like a ‘sparkly princess’ and ridiculed endlessly for his off-beat dancing during a traditional Saudi sword ceremony.
And as President Trump’s time in Riyadh came to an end on Sunday night, the many meme-inducing moments from the first two days of his inaugural overseas tour peaked.
Twitter users went wild as photographs emerged of the president placing his hands on a glowing orb with King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi at the World Center for Countering Extremist Thought.
The orb lit up as the leaders laid their hands on it, apparently activating a wall of computers in front of them which are programmed to monitor and target terrorist activity online.
Officially, it marked the opening of the center which the president heralded as a world first in joint efforts with the Middle East to crack down on violent radicalism.
The internet, as ever, had other ideas.
The visit on Sunday capped off the first leg of the president’s first overseas tour. He will travel to Israel on Monday.
