Last Week Tonight made this gross gif to use when politicians make you sick
Odds are you're going to be irritated/disgusted/disturbed by a politician at least 10 times a day from now until you take your final breath, but finally, there's a gif that might get your point across better than a strongly worded email or angry Facebook rant.
In response to Donald Trump's tweets Sunday in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando, the team at Last Week Tonight created a gif of Abraham Lincoln violently throwing up what appears to be everything he ate during the Civil War. It's not just for use against Trump — it can be sent to any politician that rubs you the wrong way and the only applicable response is a loop of Honest Abe barfing — but since Trump appears to be contractually obligated to himself to tweet and toot his own horn multiple times a day, it's hard to fathom anyone else receiving it more.
