Once again, Trump loses and the Internet wins after his surreal White House appearance <\/a>to announce the obvious – he’ll leave – while seated at a teeny kiddie desk sparked a giddy explosion of hashtags celebrating his banishment from the grown-ups’ table. Swiftly trending, reportedly even in Europe, were #DiaperDon<\/a>, #TinyDesk, <\/a><\/span>#TinyDeskDonald. <\/a>Many noted they thought the image of Trump squeezed into the desk was photoshopped until realizing it was just perfectly symbolic: “Mini desk. Tiny hands. Infinitesimally small soul,\u201d tweeted Adam Lasnik. People inserted little Donnie into dollhouses, mouse holes, the Four Seasons Destitute Desk. They asked who wore it better – Trump or Will Ferrell’s “Elf” – and thanked the sly champion of the resistance who each day has quietly swapped out a real desk for one a bit smaller, and panned the latest NPR Tiny Desk Concert: “He\u2019s not even a musician. He just sat at a literal tiny desk and yelled at reporters. Worst. Concert. Ever. 1\/10 would not recommend.\u201d <\/span>#TinyDeskTrump.” <\/a><\/span>All this, of course, before he opened his unfortunate mouth.<\/span><\/span><\/span>Mostly, on a day of thanks, there was gratitude<\/a> for the good time had by all: “Just <\/span><\/span>want to give an extra Thanksgiving shout-out to the person in Trump\u2019s camp who walked out to look at that desk prior to today\u2019s presser and went, ‘Yeah, looks good. Bring him in.’ <\/span>#hero.” <\/a>The very small man, alas, was not amused. A few hours later, seeing <\/span><\/span>#DiaperDon<\/a> <\/span>trending, he <\/span><\/span>raged <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201cTwitter is sending out totally false \u2018Trends'” and, because things can always get weirder, <\/span><\/span>raved<\/a> <\/span><\/span>\u201cfor purposes <\/a><\/span><\/span>of National Security” Section 230<\/a>, a law protecting sites from legal liability, “<\/span><\/span>must be immediately terminated!!!\u201d Yes, well. Speaking of immediately terminated…”<\/span><\/span>May this be how we remember the Trump presidency,” wrote one patriot. “A baby at his tiny little desk throwing a tantrum.”
