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).
Spread
On January 7th, 2017, Twitter user @tatummoleski[1] posted a screenshot of Trump captioned with "This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever" along with the description "When you send him your highest quality nudes and all you get back is an 'oh nice' (shown below).
On January 21st, 2017, the @dabmoms[5] Instagram feed posted an image macro about splitting a check with a friend at a restaurant (shown below, left). On February 3rd, Redditor inlegit posted the Trump image along with a caption joking about receiving socks and underwear as Christmas gifts to /r/funny[4] (shown below, right).
On March 22nd, Redditor Jaredrap posted the image with a joke about sending a "dick pic" to /r/dankmemes[6] (shown below, left). That same day, Redditor Ender14 submitted the image with the caption "When you send her your best quality memes but she replies with nudes instead of memes" to /r/dankmemes[3] (shown below, right).
