Donald Trump Needed Notes for His Listening Session, Here Are the Memes You Didn't Know You Needed

On Wednesday, President Trump held a note card while listening to survivors and family members affected by last week's shooting in Parkland, Florida. The handwritten card read, "1) What would you most want me to know about your experience?", "2) What can we do to help you feel safe?" and "5) I hear you."


Viewers immediately flocked to Twitter, commenting on the note card. One user wrote, "Is a man that has 'I hear you' pre-written on a cheat sheet really listening?" Another said, "Lordy. If he only had a heart and wasn’t a sociopath he wouldn’t need empathy flash cards. If only we could get him to the Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

Others have poked fun at Trump by continuing to list alternative talking points. Below, we've collected the ten funniest memes.

Many social media users pointed out that Trump's note card symbolized a lack of empathy for those affected by the tragedy. At one point, a father, Andrew Pollack, took the floor to speak about his daughter, Meadow, 18, whose life was taken in the shooting. "Fix it!" Pollack urged Trump. "It should've been one school shooting, and we should've fixed it. I'm pissed." Meadow had recently been accepted to Lynn University in Boca Raton.

During the session, President Trump proposed arming 20% of teachers, saying it would prevent mass shootings.

"So let’s say you had 20 percent of your teaching force, because that’s pretty much the number,” he said. “If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms they could very well end the attack very quickly.”

Many educators flocked to social media to dismiss the suggestion. One teacher wrote, "As a teacher for 24 years, I can tell you that our schools need more textbooks, educators, and art programs. They do not need more guns." Another person commented, "I had a year 9 teacher who randomly threw a book at my head out of frustration at the class. The school did nothing. 2 yrs later he got sacked for literally biting a student. But for sure, give teachers guns, what could go wrong."

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
