All hail the orb.

There are plenty of people who have compared Donald Trump to Lex Luthor – but now he looks like he’s hit peak supervillian aesthetic. On his current state visit to Saudi Arabia, Trump was photographed Saudi King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, all touching a glowing orb in the dark. The orb is actually an installation at the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology in Riyadh – but since it looks more like something Saruman would have in Lord of the Rings, the internet is going crazy over it. https://twitter.com/markberman/status/866384998848503809 https://twitter.com/darth/status/866375485688651777 https://twitter.com/KrangTNelson/status/866435249819066369 https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/866391708652650496   The official Church of Satan Twitter account has even gone as far as clarifying that it is not a Satanic ritual. https://twitter.com/ChurchofSatan/status/866453928535236608   We will now await the Cthulhu which will rise from under the White House any day now.
