About

The Worst Trade Deal is an image macro series featuring a screen captured image of Donald Trump captioned with the phrase "This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever," which is often accompanied by descriptions of humorous scenarios involving exchanges between two people.

Origin

During the first 2016 presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump held on September 25th, 2016, Trump described NAFTA "the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere" (shown below).



On December 27th, 2016, Instagram [7] user @memegourmet posted the earliest known version of the meme. They captioned the image, "When you spent your whole pay on Christmas gifts but all you got in return was socks and underwear." The post received more than 7,000 likes in less than four years (shown below).

…am I the only one who actually finds some of these funny for a change..? Like, sure, it will probably be short-lived, but this one at least seems more clever than previous ones, doing an effort beyond just "LOL,TRUMP! IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE TRUMP! XD".
