Any picture of Trump - whether if the US President is with British PM Theresa May or the historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un - is replaced with a penguin and the results are jaw-dropping.
Social media is an interesting place where anything can be turned into simply anything. And when it comes to Twitter, US President Donald Trump is always the favourite (or not). It's nothing new that his posts and images are always turned into hilarious memes and gifs. Only this time, a photoshop trend called #TrumpReplacedByPenguin has gone viral on Twitter.
#TrumpReplacedByPenguin is nothing but a challenge where any picture of Donald Trump is replaced with a penguin. It all started when Armando Iannucci, the creator of Veep, posted on Twitter saying that if any picture of Trump is replaced with a penguin, the expressions of all the people in the photo would still work.
"Proposal: If you take any piece of footage of Trump in a White House meeting, and replaced Trump with a penguin, the expressions on the faces of everyone else in the room would still work. Twitter, let’s see what you can do," Iannucci tweeted.
Ever since that, Twitterati have gone all guns blazing on #TrumpReplacedByPenguin by posting some epic and hilarious memes. Although, the challenge was just for Trump in White House, however, Twitterati did not stop their imagination right there. Well, now any picture of Trump - whether if the US President is with British PM Theresa May or the historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un - is replaced with a penguin and the results are jaw-dropping.

Meanwhile on Friday, Trump called on the US Justice Department to investigate the New York Times after the news outlet published a column this week by an anonymous administration official questioning his fitness for office.
Trump also said he was considering taking action against the Times, whose shares moved briefly lower after his comments were made public.
"We’re going to see. I’m looking at that right now," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions "should be investigating who the author of that piece was because I really believe it's national security."
The Times issued a statement saying it was confident the Justice Department "would not participate in such a blatant abuse of government power."
"The President's threats both underscore why we must safeguard the identity of the writer of this op-ed and serve as a reminder of the importance of a free and independent press to American democracy."
Trump did not indicate what sort of action he was considering against the Times and it was unclear what legal grounds he could act on.
A Justice Department spokeswoman said the department does not confirm or deny investigations. The Times could not be immediately reached for comment.
A number of top Trump advisers have disavowed the piece, which was published on Wednesday without a name in what the Times said was a rare but necessary move to protect the writer.
In the column, the writer slammed Trump's "amorality" and leadership style. The official said there were a number of U.S. officials who were part of an "quiet resistance" inside the administration who was "working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations."
