The 'Merkel and Trump G7 Summit Photograph' captured a viral moment during the 2018 G7 summit in Quebec, Canada. Taken by German government photographer Jesco Denzel, the image shows German Chancellor Angela Merkel leaning over a table with her hands planted firmly, seemingly confronting a seated U.S. President Donald Trump, who has his arms crossed. The photo quickly became a global sensation due to its Renaissance-like composition and the clear tension between the world leaders. Internet users immediately transformed it into an object-labeling meme, using Merkel to represent an aggressive explainer or a frustrated authority figure, while Trump represents someone who is stubbornly refusing to listen or change their mind.
