President Barack Obama will hand over the keys to the White House to President-elect Donald Trump in less than two months.
And Twitter users are already suggesting some lighthearted practical jokes the outgoing POTUS could play on his successor, via @TheWeeHoursWar and @Dubzzzinyaface’s globally trending #WhiteHouseExitPranks hashtag.
It follows the wildly popular post-election Joe Biden meme, in which people imagined the vice president’s conversations with Obama during the transition.
Here are some of the best posts we’ve seen so far:
