This could be the best Donald Trump parody we've seen so far.

A group of female government officials from Sweden have hilariously trolled the Trump administration.

On Friday morning, Isabella Lövin, the nation’s deputy prime minister and climate minister, posted a photo of herself soberly signing a referral of a climate law that would require Sweden to reduce its net emissions to zero by 2045.

Lövin was flanked by seven other female government officials with matching serious facial expressions.

The image was clearly a parody of the now infamous photo of Trump signing an executive order to ban federal money going to international groups which perform or provide information on abortions.

Trump was flanked by 7 male government officials in this photo. Yep that’s right, there wasn’t even one woman in the room while they were making decisions about women’s bodies.

Within hours Lövin’s post was shared and liked thousands of times on social media, with many people thanking the Deputy Prime Minister for not only taking steps to protect the planet, but for having an amazing sense of humour.

“Thank you. The majority of US citizens are grateful for your humor & support during this difficult time. I am from the ‘blue’ state of California and we are finding ways to make positive change during these ‘not normal’ times,” someone commented.

“This American woman thanks you. Both for the climate law and the photo.”

“Thank you for doing what you can to protect our planet. For inspiring others around the world about what’s possible. And for having a sense of humor!” added another.

“Lots of gratitude from California! Thank you for showing leadership on this important issue — and for doing it surrounded by women!”

We hope this isn’t the last we hear from Lövin and her female staffers.
