Trump touched an orb and now Twitter is glowing crazy


Thanks to Twitter, presidential photo ops these days can quickly turn into minefields -- witness President Donald Trump sliding behind the wheel of a giant truck in March and the internet driving it into the ground.
And then came the Orb. On Sunday, the Saudi Embassy tweeted out a photo of President Trump, Saudi Arabia's King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi with their hands on a glowing globe.

Trump is of course in Saudi Arabia as part of his first trip abroad as president. The tweet explained that the men were inaugurating a new center meant to combat extremist ideology in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh.
But the photo itself, with the eerie glow of the orb casting a strange light on the faces of the three leaders, was too reminiscent of every science-fiction/fantasy story ever, and Twitter jokesters couldn't pass it up.
Some minds immediately went . its just like space jamp cartoon :D

Twitter co-founder apologizes for helping elect Trump


  • Evan Williams apologized if Twitter helped out Donald Trump in the White House 
  • President has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land
  • The 45-year-old entrepreneur said he also believes the internet is broken
  • He believes things are getting worse, as people use Facebook to record in real-time, suicides, beatings and murder



  • A co-founder of Twitter says he's sorry if the popular social media platform helped put Donald Trump in the White House, as the president has suggested.
    Evan Williams said Twitter's role in Trump's populist rise is 'a very bad thing', during an interview with the New York Times. The president has credited Twitter with his election to the highest office in the land.
    Trump told Fox News in March: 'I think that maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Twitter, because I get such a fake press, such a dishonest press.'
    When confronted with the notion that Twitter played a part in helping Trump get elected, Williams said: 'If it's true that he wouldn't be president if it weren't for Twitter, then yeah, I'm sorry.'
