Ever since it was introduced as the anti-Avengers organisation in Captain America: The First Avenger, the villanious Hydra organisation has become a bit of a thing.

In case you don’t know what we’re talking about, here’s a few examples:

Off the back of that, a massive meme began which featured any two people who might be whispering in each other’s ears, one of them saying “Hail Hydra!” quietly to the other.

So everyone from Bert and Ernie to Kirk and Spock have declared their allegiance to the evil corporation via the meme at some point.

This week though, it has been noticed that some clever clogs has changed the domain destination of www.hail-hydra.com.

If you type the email address into your browser, instead of bringing you the website of the secret evil organisation (which wouldn’t be too smart of a secret evil organisation, to be honest), it brings you to the official White House website.

Or more specifically, the Donald Trump page of the official White House website.

It’d be funnier if it wasn’t just a little bit too close to reality…
