21 “Bond Trump Bond” Memes & Tweets You Need To See
It seems the world is just not enough for President Trump. In an oddly spy-ish move, Trump reportedly shared classified intelligence with Russia during a meeting last week. The revelation, which came from the Washington Post this week, cleverly inspired some jokesters to draw parallels between the president and the world's favorite spy, James Bond. The resulting "Bond Trump Bond" memes and tweets poked fun at Trump's relationship with Russia and the very serious disclosure of classified information.
The clever hashtag was first popularized by the Huffington Post's comedy account on Twitter. In a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, HuffPost Comedy encouraged followers to share their jokes with #BondTrumpBond. HuffPost Comedy tweeted, "He does everything with style and intelligence. Classified intelligence. He's #BondTrumpBond. Let's Play!"
Quickly, movie titles, classic characters, and other Bond references filled the Twittersphere. Of course, From Russia With Love made a few appearances. The jokes offered a lighthearted-but-powerful response to Trump's decision to share classified information with Russia. Although the parallels between Trump and Bond are no more real than Bond himself, the idea that the president of the United States could take such a spy-like step, sharing state secrets with another country, is understandably troubling. For now, though, let's just enjoy the laughs.
