Barack Obama and Joe Biden memes imagine the pranks they could pull on Trump

Faced with a president they probably didn't vote for, Twitter users have found solace in an unlikely place: Barack Obama and Joe Biden's friendship. 

Since the president and his VP met with their successors, Donald Trump and Mike Pence, on Thursday, social media has been awash with imagined scenarios between the pair, as they prepare to hand over the keys to the White House.

The memes, which have been popping up on Twitter and Facebook, feature Biden thinking of pranks he and Obama could pull on Trump.

Many of the memes feature an overly-excited Biden being talked down by the president.

Obama and Biden are known for having a stronger, and more personal, relationship than many of their predecessors.

In June, while filming a video encouraging young Americans to register to vote, the president made his VP a friendship bracelet. In August, Biden tweeted a picture of a matching set.

When Biden's son Beau passed away from brain cancer last year, it was Obama who gave the eulogy.

At Obama's final White House Correspondents' Dinner in May, he said that he loved Joe Biden, and thanked him for "being a great friend".
