The 'Worst Trade Deal' meme features a captured still of Donald Trump during a 2016 presidential campaign event where he criticized international agreements. The full quote, 'This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever,' became an instant internet classic for its hyperbolic and repetitive phrasing. It is widely used to satirize situations where someone makes a significantly lopsided or regrettable exchange, ranging from mundane daily habits to high-stakes sports trades. The meme’s longevity stems from its versatility in calling out any decision that results in a poor outcome compared to what was sacrificed.
