The Internet Is Having a Great Time Trying to Identify Trump’s Mysterious Glowing Orb

Trump’s brief visit to Saudi Arabia this weekend gave us plenty to talk about, from Bannon’s clear discomfort, to a whole lot of hypocrisy over headscarves, to a reminder that no one should ever hand Donald Trump a sword or invite him to dance.

But in keeping with the Trump administration’s tradition of drowning us in a deluge of terrifying and yet still utterly mockable moments, here we also have an image of Trump alongside the Saudi king and Egyptian President, ominously placing their hands on a mysterious glowing orb.

You know, just normal supervillain stuff.

Nothing to worry about.

We said there’s nothing to worry about!

In describing the orb, the New York Times actually felt the need to write out the words, “The globe did not appear to have any magical powers,” but that wasn’t going to stop Twitter from trying to figure out its dark purpose. Fake news!

Even the Church of Satan had to come out and say ‘he’s not with us.’

Even scarier, is Brietbart of all places is hinting that this might look a little too evil, even for them?

As it turns out, the orb was actually a globe. Yup, just three men famous, all famous for human rights violations, standing around a glowing globe. What could possibly seem evil about that?

We may never know what fiery magic was unleashed. Or maybe the real maniacal megalomania was inside them all along.
