" He ’s running the country like Regina George . "

Yesterday was a damn doozy.

Donald Trumppaused tariffson every country except China for 90 days. At the same time, he raised China’s tariff rate from 104% to 125%. The markets went wild, and, well, folks, that’s where we’re at. Things change by the minute nowadays. Nothing is certain!!

The official White House account responded to the tariff chaos with this, uh, pretty forward tweet:

You got that, people? DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED!!!!

As this person said, “I honestly cannot believe that this is the official white house page.”

Naturally, it has become a meme.

It appears you can use DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED in a variety of relatable situations.

We have “me giving my dog a bath.”

“Me to my 4 year old after my 2 year old kicks him in the face.”

And “Why does the White House sound like my toxic ex?”

As@stacycaysaid, “Our president is a Batman villain.”

Anyway, here are the funniest responses to this whole thing:
