A private lunch between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Pakistan’s Army Chief-turned-Field Marshal Asim Munir at the White House has sparked a storm of memes across social media platforms. The exclusive meeting, held amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, was quickly reimagined by netizens through a Bollywood lens.
Munir, accompanied by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) head Lt. Gen. Asim Malik, met Trump for a closed-door session lasting nearly an hour. While official information was limited, Trump briefly told reporters, “They know Iran better than most,” pointing to the strategic weight behind the gathering. However, the internet community had other ideas.
Online users, armed with creativity and sarcasm, wasted no time turning the diplomatic event into meme gold. Popular posts imagined Trump and Munir casually resolving global conflicts over plates of biryani and servings of french fries.
The meme fest, although deemed “cringe” by some, heavily leaned into Bollywood drama. Viral edits featured iconic scenes from movies like Rishtey and 3 Idiots, humorously suggesting what may have transpired during the lunch meeting. One viral meme showed Trump quoting a line from Anil Kapoor while another replaced Amir Khan’s classroom rant with a fake dubbed conversation between Trump and Munir.
Though the White House positioned the meeting as a significant geopolitical move during a turbulent time, it was social media’s wildly imaginative storytelling that truly captivated global attention
