“Veep” creator Armando Iannucci put out a call for some penguin-themed mocking of President Donald Trump on Thursday, and people on Twitter did him proud.
Proposal: If you take any piece of footage of Trump in a White House meeting, and replaced Trump with a penguin, the expressions on the faces of everyone else in the room would still work.

Twitter, let’s see what you can do.
Iannucci mused on the social media platform about how “the expressions on the faces of everyone else in the room would still work” if “any piece of footage of Trump in a White House meeting” was replaced with a penguin.
“Twitter, let’s see what you can do,” he wrote.
Here’s how his followers responded:
