It is a truth universally acknowledged that a meme dies as soon as it hits the political sphere. We've seen it before with OK Boomer and Hillary Clinton's attempts to use Pokémon GO and The Mannequin Challenge, but perhaps no meme has been so brutally and ruthlessly murdered as Baby Yoda was by Donald Trump Jr. last night.

Perhaps the world's most prominent Large Adult Son in the world, Donald Trump Jr. has branded his entire persona around attempting to trigger the libs. Last night, he attempted to trigger the libs again by posting an image of his father's face superimposed on Baby Yoda's face in a piece called "The Magalorian." He captioned the post, "Triggered in 3…2…1."

Triggered in 3…2…1

This is quite frankly, a lot to take in. The garish photoshop job of Trump's face and hair; the half-cropped handle of the meme's creator; the smug assumption that the poorly-made meme would anger people instead of inspiring feelings of second-hand embarrassment. Paste called it "one of the most offensively stupid memes we’ve ever seen."

Game for a laugh, several commenters have dunked on Jr.'s post by saying "I think this is doctored," referring to the Rocky Trump fiasco of some weeks prior. Regardless, Baby Yoda has now been permanently stained by hitting the political sphere.
