On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump got perhaps his most shocking visitor to Trump Tower yet - Kanye West.

The two 'longtime' friends had a brief meeting Wednesday morning before they took the elevator downstairs and posed for pictures with reporters - marking one of Kanye's first public appearances since being discharged from hospital last week after suffering a mental breakdown.

The meeting spawned numerous memes online - mocking both the President-elect and Kanye for the bizarre meeting.

Why so serious? Donald Trump hosted Kanye West for a brief meeting at Trump Tower on Wednesday, and the get together spawned numerous memes like the one above

In a change of pace, it was Kanye who received the bulk of the abuse - with memes mocking his new blond hair.

Another meme contrasted two pictures of Kanye, one smiling picture with President Obama and a photo from Wednesday's meeting with Trump in which he wears a super-serious expression. 'America at the start of 2016. America at the end of 2016,' the Instagram user wrote.

One meme maker used Photoshop to turn Kanye into Darth Vader to Trump's Sith master.

Others referenced Trump's plan to keep tabs on Muslims entering the U.S. and Kanye's foray into fashion design.

'Trump is meeting with Kanye because Kanye is designing the uniforms for the camps,' one meme reads, with pictures from Kanye's fashion line.

Trump's proposal to maintain a database of Muslims in the country has drawn comparisons to the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans, but he has never proposed putting Muslims in camps.

Votes for Trump: Before he was hospitalized for a mental breakdown, Kanye went on a long rant at a concert about how he didn't vote - but if he had it would have been for Trump

Kanye Trump? In the lobby of Trump Tower, West refused to make a comment but Trump said the two were catching up about 'life'

Government contract? This meme referenced Trump's plan to keep tabs on Muslims entering the U.S., joking that he wants to use Kanye's fashion line clothing 'for the camps'.

Serious issues: The above meme makes fun of Kanye's recent stint in the hospital, after suffering a mental break down in the middle of his Saint Pable tour

Imitation is the highest form of flattery: Kanye's new bleach-blond hair was a focal point of many of the memes - which compared his new coif to Trump's never-graying look

Sea change: Multiple memes contrasted pictures of Kanye with President Obama and the new President-elect

Bankrupt: Throughout the campaign, Trump claimed he made his fortune after starting his business with a 'small loan' of $1million dollars from his father
