President Trump was at it again Sunday with an emphatically punctuated tweet that "demanded" a probe into the Department of Justice's involvement in his campaign.
"I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!" Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.
But the message, as tweets from the president are wont to do, quickly spiraled into meme territory across social media by users who used the opportunity to craft very specific demands of their own.
...
"I hereby demand that you shut the f--k up and allow people, for once, to enjoy their Sunday," comedian Kathy Griffin tweeted.
"I hereby demand the creators of Sesame Street address the swirling rumors that The Count is polyamorous," Krang T. Nelson tweeted, along with a screenshot of the character's Wikipedia page, which explained that he's been shown on TV with "a number of girlfriends."

I hereby demand Rump be given a massive shot of thorazine in his fat ass and have his twitter thumbs immobilized in a straitjacket.
