The Internet is commemorating Michelle Obama’s final morning as First Lady by turning her into a #NeverTrump meme.

Before Donald Trump’s presidential swearing-in Friday morning, he and Melania met the Obamas at the White House for a pre-inauguration coffee ceremony. And as the two first families posed for photos together, Melania handed Michelle Obama a gift box wrapped in Tiffany blue.

While the meeting was perfectly diplomatic, screengrabs of Michelle’s expression became an instant meme.

Is that a side-eye, or just a bad camera angle? You be the judge.

Remember that time Melania “borrowed” that speech from Michelle? Twitter does.

Michelle Obama looked unimpressed during the inauguration of Donald Trump as 45th President of the United States – summing up the mood among critics of the controversial billionaire who was sworn in at a ceremony on Capitol Hill.

Eyebrow raised, the former first lady stood and watched as Mr Trump recited the 35-word oath.

Her dour facial expression prompted an immediate reaction on social media, with one person saying that her evident displeasure at the New York tycoon becoming the most powerful man on the planet “spoke for all of us”.

One image showed Ms Obama – who has been touted as a future presidential candidate – standing uncomfortably as she gave the new US President a sideways glance.

She also appeared unimpressed earlier in the day when she was handed a box by Mr Trump’s wife Melania.
