A meme using the “Distracted Boyfriend” format. The man, labeled “TRUMP,” is turning away from a woman labeled “FEMA DISASTER ASSISTANCE,” who looks shocked and offended.

A meme using the “Drakeposting” format, with two panels: Top panel: Drake is dismissively holding up his hand to reject “Emergency workers for disaster relief.” Bottom panel: Drake is smiling and pointing approvingly at “Armed forces to silence protestors,” implying a preference for militarized response over humanitarian aid.

Classic "Kombucha Girl" meme left panel: Kombucha girl is “Emergency workers for disaster relief.” Right panel: kombucha Girl is smiling and pointing approvingly at “Armed forces to silence protestors,” implying a preference for militarized response over humanitarian aid.

Classic soda Meme criticizing President Trump for respond to protest with federal troops on one end and on the other end respondingto disasters without federal aid.
