9 things Trump did since becoming president that the internet went nuts for

Since taking office nearly a year ago, President Donald Trump has attracted no shortage of attention for his social media activity, frequently combative stances against those who displease him, and unconventional approach to pushing policies he favors.

He's also gifted the internet with a slew of gaffes, tweets, and interactions with foreign leaders to freak out about.

Here are the nine most memorable ones:

1. Trump's first time meeting Pope Francis in May

Trump's meeting with the Pope was "stiff" from the start, according to pool reports. The two have frequently been at odds with one another over hot button issues like immigration and climate change, and the internet was quick to jump on the Pope's interactions with Trump, comparing them to his meetings with other world leaders.

2. His awkward, white-knuckled handshake with the newly inaugurated French president, Emmanuel Macron

After pictures and an amusing pool report surfaced about Trump's first meeting with Macron during the NATO summit in May, the internet had a field day scrutinizing their handshake.

The pool report noted both presidents' "considerable intensity" and clenched jaws. "They shook hands for an extended period of time," the report said, and Trump looked visibly uncomfortable.

3. When Trump stared directly into the solar eclipse

Despite stern warnings from scientists, and shouted instructions from an aide, Trump looked directly at the solar eclipse in August. Cue the internet with its witty responses.

4. When Trump enthusiastically hopped into a truck and pretended to drive it while meeting truckers at the White House

Trump welcomed the American Trucking Association to the White House in March for a listening session on healthcare.

The visit came as the White House's push to overhaul the Affordable Care Act was crumbling, but that didn't stop Trump from having some fun with trucks. It was an event perfectly catered for the social media age, and the reactions didn't disappoint.

5. That time he drank water while making a speech about his big Asia trip in November

The comparisons to Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, whom Trump famously disparaged during the 2016 campaign for pausing to drink water in the middle of a televised speech, were swift.

Even Rubio weighed in.

6. The first time he met face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin

Trump's first meeting with Putin came

Twitter users weighed in about how the meeting would go before it started, with many alluding to Trump's tendency to praise the Russian strongman and echo his positions on foreign policy.

7. That time it looked like first lady Melania Trump swatted away Trump's hand

The internet had a field day when it looked like Melania Trump turned down her husband's offer to hold hands while on a tarmac in Israel during a nine-day overseas trip in May. In another instance, Melania swiftly moved her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear when Trump reached out to hold it.

The Trumps' marriage has seen no shortage of scrutiny, and this gave observers another opportunity to weigh in.

8. When Trump threw entire rolls of paper towels into a crowd in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico

Trump visited Puerto Rico in October following intense criticism for his delayed response after Hurricane Maria wreaked havoc on the island. At the time, at least 16 people had died as a result of the storm — that number has now risen to over 900 — and thousands lacked access to food, shelter, water, and electricity.

When he went to the island in early October, Trump held a televised meeting with Puerto Rican leaders. Afterward, he visited a church and began throwing rolls of paper towels into an audience of hurricane survivors after praising the crowd size and telling them to "have a good time."

Social media users immediately latched onto the bizarre display, calling it "shameful" and "ridiculous."

9. The 'covfefe' conundrum

It was the tweet that launched a thousand reactions.

Trump, who is famous for blasting out tweets into the wee hours of the morning, took to the social media platform shortly after midnight at the end of May and sent out an unfinished tweet: "Despite the constant negative press covfefe"

He presumably meant to type "coverage," but that didn't stem the flow of hilarious reactions from social media users, celebrities, journalists, and even former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
