Well this is bloody unsettling now isn’t it?

So in case you missed it, Donald Trump was in Saudi Arabia over the weekend for his first foreign excursion as President. The trip comes at a tricky time for the White House, which given everything that’s been happening re: the FBI and Russia is desperate to project the message that things are going to be fine.

Enter…the orb.

The above is a photograph of Trump, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi at the launch of the Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. It is not definitive proof of the existence of a global shadow government that rules by the light of a mysterious glowing sphere. Nope, not at all.

Still, people on the internet have been rightly perturbed by the image, and have responded in the only way that they know how: by turning it into a meme.

This one is especially terrifying when you realise it was tweeted more than a week before the orb made its presence known.

I think I speak for everyone when I say all hail the orb! May it’s hallowed flame blaze brightly for all eternity.
