President Donald Trump’s awkward farewell to trusted aide Hope Hicks set Twitter alight on Thursday.

Trump bid goodbye to his former communications director outside the Oval Office with a peck on the cheek, two handshakes, lots of pointing and then what appeared to be a failed attempt at one final kiss.

Hicks, 29, announced her resignation earlier this month, the day after she admitted under oath that Trump occasionally needed her to tell “white lies.”

Thursday’s exchange was caught on camera and, needless to say, instantly became a brand new meme:

Inappropriate for a boss to kiss employee.

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is coldhttps://t.co/aU55FYXFLl via @people

Hope Hicks is expected to return to the White House to tie up loose ends next month so it’s hardly bye forever for Trump. Also he has her phone number lol
