Title: Trump: "You don't have the cards right now."
Context: In a 2025 meeting, President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, “You don’t have the cards right now.” This comment implied that Zelenskyy lacked negotiating power. The phrase “you don’t have the cards” became a meme, symbolizing situations where someone feels powerless or at a disadvantage. People used it to humorously express moments when they felt they lacked control or influence. 
How to use it: Use this template to joke about losing control or power in funny, everyday battles!
Examples:
- Whenever you and your friends play Civ together
- When the cyclone knocks the power out and you're charging the neighbour Airport prices for a cold beer
- Real Estate Agents "negotiating" with Buyers
- Building IKEA furniture with your spouse
