Donald Trump is back at it again. After retweeting numerous white supremacists and anti-Semites, the president retweeted a meme of him "eclipsing" a desaturated Barack Obama, representing a dark moon, while he is a beaming sun overtaking his predecessor.

Once again, while America faces a crumbling health care system, a relaunch into war in Afghanistan, and nuclear threats, the public is forced to devote its attention to Donald Trump and his inclination to dog-whistle to white supremacists. Many were outraged by the racist undertones of the meme (and its creator) as well as confused by the scientific basis of the tweet itself. Others threw back their own memes.
