Is it time to panic for Trump Administration insiders?

According to a report this week by Politico’s Playbook newsletter, fatigue about “never-ending chaos” is beginning to set in in Trump World.

As characterized by The Daily Beast, “the president’s allies came back from the weekend to find a spiraling situation, after negotiations with Iran collapsed and MAGA erupted over the president’s feud with the pope and his blasphemous post depicting himself as Jesus.”

Different sources responded to Politico’s questions about the mood with memes.

“The responses suggest things feel like they’re on fire. One administration official sent a GIF from the sitcom The IT Crowd, showing protagonist Moss frantically typing on a computer as a fire burns in the foreground,” the Beast reported. Others shared the meme of a dog sitting in a burning room, with the caption  “It’s fine. Everything is fine.”

 

And following Trump’s post comparing him to Jesus, one source shared an image of Jesus, with the caption “Time to flood the earth again.” Trump went on to claim that he passed on the meme because he thought he was being depicted as a doctor. This, in turn, led to more memes making fun of the situation.

“No one cares about Politico’s collection of anonymously sourced memes,” spokeswoman Allison Schuster said in a statement to Politico. “The reality is that the entire Trump Administration stands behind the President who is working hard to lower taxes for working families, defend our borders, and make the world safe. Instead of talking to their so-called anonymous sources, Politico should be talking to real Americans who are benefitting from President Trump’s agenda every single day.”
