Trump's ALL CAPS Iran tweet is now a glorious meme
It's 2018 so of course Twitter would take something as terrifying as the United States president writing an all-caps threat to another world leader, leaving us (yet again) standing on the precipice of international conflict, and make it into a meme.
What a time to be alive.

People have latched on to Donald Trump's unhinged tweet-threat to the president of Iran and decided that in the face of horror the best thing to do is laugh. So they've appropriated Trump's message and inserted their own musings, sometimes in the form of song lyrics, sometimes with other fun references.
In case you somehow missed it, here's Trump's original tweet.
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Very presidential and VERY stable. Never mind that Twitter and Facebook have been blocked in Iran since 2009.
If you're now in desperate need of a laugh, here are some of best examples of Twitter making the most of another awful situation.

And now let us lay back and welcome the ongoing disaster as it unfolds around us and meme, meme against the dying of the light.
