About the You Weren't Supposed To Do That Meme
Donald Trump stands at the State of the Union podium, pointing outward with his right hand, Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi seated behind him. The caption at the bottom reads "You weren't supposed to do that." The formal government setting contrasts with the meme's use as a reaction to casual betrayals, bluffs being called, and plans going sideways. The pointing finger adds an accusatory edge, singling out whoever just went off-script.
A screenshot of Donald Trump pointing during a State of the Union address, with the caption "You weren't supposed to do that" added at the bottom. The combination of the authoritative setting and the accusatory pointing turned it into a reaction meme for moments when someone does the thing you assumed they'd never actually do. You give an ultimatum, make a dare, or bluff your way through a situation, and the other person goes ahead and does it. The caption captures the panic of realizing your bluff has been called and you have no backup plan. For a more structured plan going wrong, see Gru's Plan. For a calmer realization that things aren't going as expected, see Surprised Pikachu.
