An abrupt change of topic during an energy meeting hosted by Donald Trump has been turned into a green screen meme.

During Friday’s White House talks on energy policy, President Donald Trump briefly derailed the agenda. Instead of focusing on the meeting at hand, he stood up, walked to the door, and admired the renovations to the donor-funded ballroom that are underway. His bizarre interlude from the meeting he was supposed to be participating in was turned into a meme.

The viral scene took place during talks with oil company executives on Friday, Jan 9. While the room sat in silence, Trump raised his hand and stopped the discussion. “Wait a moment, I need to see my beautiful hall,” he said.
