Donald Trump called hamburgers "hamberders" and a million memes were born...
2018 really came through on the meme front but it looks like 2019 is already giving last year a run for its money. In the space of just 16 days, the internet has come up with some of the funniest viral content we've ever seen. From Marie Kondo versus books to Kylie Jenner versus the egg, there are plenty of hilarious memes to distract us from everything that's going on in the world right now.
All good things must come to an end though and we've been cursed with our first Donald Trump meme of the year. Yes. We are sorry to break it to you but Trump is back in meme land and, for better or worse (let's be honest with Trump it's never not worse), it's actually funny. It all started when a photo of Trump with fast food went viral and then he called hamburgers "hamberders".
Trump reportedly ordered a massive 300 hamburgers to the White House for the Clemson Tigers to celebrate their win at the national championship and it wasn't long before a still of Trump with his arms outstretched in front of the food went viral and became a meme in and of itself. Then, to add insult to injury, Trump tweeted about the event with the term "hamberders".
He wrote: "Great being with the National Champion Clemson Tigers last night at the White House. Because of the Shutdown I served them massive amounts of Fast Food (I paid), over 1000 hamberders etc. Within one hour, it was all gone. Great guys and big eaters!" You can't make it up. Unsurprisingly, that is now a meme too. With that in mind, here are the best ones.

My whole staff is so depressed.
Eat fast food like I do nightly,
Gather round and please Be Best!
Hot Big Macs, nuggets too,
So much trashier than you knew.

Me: Just the hamberder then.
Covfefe really happened.
