Social media users responded Tuesday to reports that President Trump
Donald TrumpRomney blasts end of filibuster, expansion of SCOTUS McConnell, GOP slam Biden's executive order on SCOTUS US raises concerns about Iran's seriousness in nuclear talks MORE gave out his cellphone number to foreign leaders, turning the story into a meme.
Trump reportedly asked world leaders to contact him directly on his cellphone, raising questions about security. The request, which poses a risk of having the conversations of the U.S. president intercepted, breaks with diplomatic protocol.
Some social media users jokingly photoshopped the president as the singer Drake in "Hotline Bling" after the news broke. The song's refrain says, "You used to call me on my cellphone."
Trump also did a parody of the song in an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" during his campaign, which many were quick to share.
Most jokes appeared to be lighthearted pop-culture references.
Why is Trump giving world leaders his cell number when he can just summon their astral presences with the Orb?
