While [Sanders](http://time.com/4621407/free-college-andrew-cuomo-bernie-sanders-new-york/) relied on the giant poster in service of his argument challenging the plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the opportunity spotters of the internet used the photo to find the humor in the situation by turning the canvas into their own lighthearted jokes about everything from shirtless Sting to Cecil the Lion. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/596338364187602944) One user repurposed the Vermont Senator’s poster to teach an important lesson. > [](https://twitter.com/gaviiins/status/816757557482098688) One user imagined a world where they could plan Cecil the Lion and Harambe’s lives together. > [](https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/816754971135852544) There was this choice photo of Sting and a fellow devoted yogi by a roaring fire. > [](https://twitter.com/maggieserota/status/816754093372952576) An important question. > [](https://twitter.com/pattymo/status/816751298632646656) A pun. > [](https://twitter.com/wardell%5Fbot/status/816788951230840833) Another issue of great import. > [](https://twitter.com/zieg/status/816752894573690882) And a tough question. > [](https://twitter.com/thecultureofme/status/816753678996619266) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4623724/bernie-sanders-poster-memes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4623724/bernie-sanders-poster-memes/"},"headline":"Here Are The Most Hilarious Memes of Bernie Sanders’ Giant Donald Trump Tweet Poster","datePublished":"2017-01-05T15:48:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:39:55.944Z","description":"The internet can't stop having fun with Bernie's massive poster","url":"https://time.com/4623724/bernie-sanders-poster-memes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","politics","Internet","Bernie Sanders","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc01f2b4ea0cdd21e/6988b46c86f68e23ba6e3114/sanders.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc01f2b4ea0cdd21e/6988b46c86f68e23ba6e3114/sanders.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"sanders","caption":"","creditText":"Screenshot","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4623724/bernie-sanders-poster-memes/","name":"Here Are The Most Hilarious Memes of Bernie Sanders’ Giant Donald Trump Tweet Poster"}}]}] ```
