A small community of anonymous video meme makers has grown after two of its members met with President Donald Trump at the Oval Office on July 3. Newcomers are reaching out for help, old-timers are coming back, and a new website now centralizes content from prominent creators.
Memes are a form of modern visual humor that provides a commentary on current events by editing, collaging, and remixing photos and videos. Some of these images and short videos reach vast audiences in a short time, creating a cultural shockwave as people share the content on social media. Trump regularly shares memes with millions of his followers on Twitter, elevating this form of humor to the forefront of political discourse.
