AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Donald Trump's First Order of Business' meme involves a photoshopped image of former United States President Donald Trump holding up an open folder that appears to display his signature on an executive order. In the original template, Trump can be seen presenting the folder towards the camera, a typical official pose used when signing new legislation or executive actions.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated on January 23rd, 2017, the same day Trump signed several executive orders, including one concerning the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a controversial trade agreement. The source of the meme was initially a satirical take involving Trump presenting an executive order with a comic drawing known as 'Dickbutt.' This edited version was introduced through a post on Reddit by Redditor guygoald. A related video capturing the real event of Trump signing the executive orders can be watched here on YouTube.^[1]
