President Donald Trump is in Saudi Arabia, his first stop on his first foreign trip. On Sunday, he gave a much-anticipated speech about Islam.
Also on Sunday, he attended the opening of the “Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology” with Egypt's President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi and Saudi Arabia's King Salman.
Which featured this glowing globe, aka orb.
The leaders put their hands on it.
And people made a whole lot of jokes about the moment.

Fake Trump tweets were made.
There is always an old Trump tweet for literally every occasion. Incredible!

Look, do I agree with the Orb's entire agenda? Of course not. But I do trust that the Orb has humanity's best interests at heart.
"ALL HAIL THE ORB," another person said.
@franklinleonard ALL HAIL THE ORB
And this person wanted to joke, but couldn't.
I want to make a joke about Orb but I'm pretty sure the existence of Orb means the time for joking has passed
You know shit's gotten weird when the actual Church of Satan has to issue a clarification.
For clarification, this is not a Satanic ritual.
We just don't know any more.
OK, not super important but still: what was the actual deal with the orb?
