Vice President Joe Biden pulled pranks on president-elect Donald Trump in a bittersweet meme that’s been sweeping the web.
Ever since Trump’s election victory, Twitter users ― including “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul ― have been busy imagining the conversations taking place between the outgoing Biden and President Barack Obama during this tricky transition.
Biden invariably suggests ways to troll the incoming Republican president, but is always reined in by his ally who is, as ever, the voice of reason.
Here are some of the funniest posts we’ve seen so far:
Joe: Yes, that was me.
