Reuters reports:
Images of U.S. President Donald Trump placing his hands on a glowing orb has set alight the internet, prompting comparisons to science fiction and fantasy villains. The pictures were taken while Trump – on a nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe – along with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi visited a new Saudi center for combating extremism.
The trio placed their hands on the orb to formally open the center, and set a welcome film in motion. Social media users were swift to let their imaginations run wild. “Oh my god. Trump has obtained the Bajoran Orb of Time,” tweeted games developer and U.S. congressional candidate Brianna Wu, in a reference to a mythical object from the “Star Trek” universe.
“I am gone from Twitter for like a few hours, and now Trump is a holding a Palantír!” Twitter user chrisError wrote, a reference to one of the magical crystal balls used by characters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” series, notably the evil wizard Saruman, to see across time and space.
I am one with the orb and the orb is with me. I am one with the orb and the orb is with me. I am one with the orb and the orb is with me.

Lots of snickering from armchair presidents who have never allowed themselves to be drained of their Life-Force to sustain the Great Orb https://t.co/Hs8vJsqYBm

not all the palantiri were accounted for when Numenor was corrupted by Sauron and lost so it’s always nice to see one come back into play pic.twitter.com/hBY2DDSmSs
