Donald Trump and Mitt Romney went for dinner and the internet went meme crazy

When Mitt Romney had dinner with Donald Trump, it represented a sharp U-turn following critical statements he made about the Republican president-elect during the contentious election.

Donald Trump and Mitt Romney went for dinner and the internet went meme crazy

After the dinner at New York restaurant Jean-Georges, Romney spoke to the press, calling the discussion they had over dinner “enlightening, interesting and engaging” and saying he was “very impressed with the remarks he made on his victory”.

The former governor of Massachusetts and 2012 presidential nominee had labelled Trump a “phony” in the past and his Twitter feed still holds evidence of his disdain. So the seeming hypocrisy of Romney’s meeting with Trump and the resulting awkward photo from the dinner have sparked a meme-fest of hilarious captions.

Some involved romance.

Others were a little more ghoulish.

Is Mitt OK? Does he need some help?

What’s a Twitter storm without a Harry Potter reference?

Does The Donald know that Romney got a larger share of the popular vote than him in 2012?

Oh internet, please keep being you.
