The internet roasts a photo of Donald Trump writing his inauguration speech
When times get tough, at least you can still meme.

The staged photo and Trump's cold, dead gaze sent the internet straight into "meme mode alpha," where it was pointed out that Trump was actually holding Sharpie marker, which may or may not actually be closed.
