We've already been graced with a plethora of glorious Donald Trump-centric memes since he took office, from that time he awkwardly pretended to drive a truck [1] to his similarly cringe-worthy interaction with German Chancellor Angela Merkel [2]. Now the internet is employing its entertaining knack for resurrecting Trump's old tweets [3] in a new meme that's taking Twitter by storm.
Back in 2014, Trump fired off a tweet that read: "Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully or write poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks."
Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully or write poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks.

OK, let's be real; this tweet is pretty funny on its own, but it's even more worthy of a chuckle considering how he recently pulled his healthcare bill because it lacked enough votes to pass. It looks like the POTUS's deal-making skills aren't as savvy as he once thought. Naturally, people all over the internet snatched up the opportunity to use his old tweet as inspiration for a new meme that mocks their own ability to seal the deal on a daily basis. Read on to see some of the best ones so far.
