The awkward first photo released of President Barack Obama's meeting with Donald Trump has led many on the internet to mock the two men.
Social media users took to Twitter soon after the White House released the picture, which showed the two men sitting in chairs inside the Oval Office and not looking at one another.
More photos and video was released soon after, but many continued to comment on that uncomfortable first look at the two men.
It was the first time they had met, after years of Trump claiming Obama was not born in the United States and the President saying the past few weeks on the campaign trail that Trump was unfit to lead this country.

'Common shake hands or both of you will be suspended from the school,' wrote one person on Twitter about the handshake between the two men.
'Don't think that these two are likely to make a duet album any time soon,' said Toby Wood.
And The Daily Show was a bit more blunt, writing: 'Just a reminder that someone out there is having a s****ier day than you.'
Both President-elect trump and President Obama released statement after their meeting on Thursday.
'I very much look forward to dealing with the President in the future, including counsel,' said Trump.
'He explained some of the difficulties some of the high flying assets, some of the really great things that have been achieved.'
President Obama meanwhile said that his top priority was to 'ensure our president-elect is successful.'
'I have been very encouraged by the interest in President-elect Trump to work with my team around many of the issues that this great country faces and I believe that it is important for all regardless of party and regardless of political preferences to now come together, work together to deal with the many challenges we face,' he said after the meeting.
