Kellyanne Conway's baffling decision to rest on her knees on the Oval Office sofa - with her shoes on, no less - while a delegation from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities were visiting has led to a spate of hilarious memes.
Conway was photographed on Monday taking pictures of Donald Trump and apparently sending text messages while the delegation stood together for a photo opportunity.
Her behavior kicked up a fuss on Twitter - and, predictably, a whole lot of Photoshop parodies too.

Moments after taking a photo of Trump, Conway was seen checking her phone, with her legs tucked beneath her. Some members of the delegation glanced at her with what appeared to be amusement.
Many Twitter users mocked and berated Conway for what they saw as a lack of respect, given the formal setting and atmosphere - especially considering the administration was making an effort to reach out to the black community.
'Shocking and bizarre. How do you get that comfortable in your boss's office? Especially in front of guests? Just when you think this administration couldn't shock you anymore...' wrote one user.
Another thought the pose was more appropriate for someone at home: 'I sit on my couch like that. Only when I'm watching tv & having the Munchies tho.'
Even so-called Kellyanne fans were dismayed by the lack of respect shown by the President's counselor.
'I'm a Kellyanne fan, but that is appalling,' one wrote. 'My mother never let us put our feet on the furniture! She sits in a desk chair with both feet & shoes bundled up under her in full view of the public as she scrolls through her phone.'
