If social media is anything to go by, Donald Trump celebrated clinching the Republican nomination by eating a cat, while President Obama looked over his shoulder.

The real photo - which shows The Donald chowing down on a McDonald's take out - unsurprisingly got the Photoshop treatment within hours of him tweeting it - and the results are seriously surreal.

Some went with a political flavor, and one photo shows a curious looking Barack Obama looking over Trump's shoulder, seemingly about to snatch some food.

There is no doubt that Hillary is green with envy that The Donald has been able to clinch his nomination, while she and Bernie still battle it out, but this photos looks like she's jealous of his snacks too

While another shows Hillary Clinton, grimacing from the seat behind - seemingly jealous of both the food and his success at securing the nomination.

Others got even more inventive. One picture presents a terrified looking Trump cowering in the seat of his private plane as a bald-headed eagle swoops down clutching a burger in its claws.

Even more bizarre is the photo that shows lots of Trump faces as food, perhaps suggesting it is a 'Trump eat Trump world'.

But mockery aside, Trump certainly does have much to celebrate.

During a press conference Thursday in North Dakota, he said he was 'honored' by the help he received from a handful of local delegates who gave him a majority.

'I'm so honored by these people! They had such great sense!' Trump beamed.

He fielded questions from reporters in front of a group of 20 state lawmakers, most of whom will be delegates to the Republican National Convention.

'The folks behind me got us right over the top,' he said.

One, John Trandem, said he was Trump's 1,238th pledged delegate – the one who put him over the top and cemented the presidential nomination.

Ben Koppelman, a state senator standing behind him, joked that he and Trandem were on the phone accepting their slots in the GOP convention delegation at the same time, so he might have been the clincher

Trump shook hands with Trandem - after crowing that Clinton can't do the same.

'Here I am watching Hillary fight, and she can't close the deal,' he told reporters. 'We've had tremendous support from almost everybody.'

Trump was in Bismarck to deliver a rally speech at the Bismarck Event Center on the sidelines of the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, an annual convention of oil and gas magnates.

The Associated Press spoke with Oklahoma GOP chairwoman Pam Pollard, another of the final few delegates who clinched the primary contest for the billionaire real estate executive.

'I think he has touched a part of our electorate that doesn't like where our country is,' Pollard said. 'I have no problem supporting Mr. Trump.'

It takes 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination for president. Trump has reached 1,238. With 303 delegates at stake in five state primaries on June 7, Trump will easily pad his total, avoiding a contested convention in Cleveland in July.

A comparison that has been made many times: Trump as the evil Mr Burns from The Simpsons

Trump, a political neophyte who for years delivered caustic commentary on the state of the nation from the sidelines but had never run for office, fought off 16 other Republican contenders in an often ugly primary race.

Many on the right have been slow to warm to Trump, wary of his conservative bona fides. Others worry about Trump's crass personality and the lewd comments he's made about women.

But millions of grassroots activists, many who have been outsiders to the political process, have embraced Trump as a plain-speaking populist who is not afraid to offend.

Steve House, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party and an unbound delegate who confirmed his support of Trump to AP, said he likes the billionaire's background as a businessman.

'Leadership is leadership,' House said. 'If he can surround himself with the political talent, I think he will be fine.'

Others who confirmed their decision to back Trump were more tepid, saying they are supporting him out of a sense of obligation because he won their state's primary.

Cameron Linton of Pittsburgh said he will back Trump on the first ballot since he won the presidential primary vote in Linton's congressional district.

On his way: Donald Trump, who campaigned in North Dakota after the Associated Press found he had enough delegates to clinch the official nomination

Man who got him there: John Trandem a small business owner from North Dakota, was the 1,237th delegate to pledge his support for Donald Trump - tipping him into a majority

'If there's a second ballot I won't vote for Donald Trump,' Linton said. 'He's ridiculous. There's no other way to say it.'

The delegate who gave Trump his majority was John Trandem , of Fargo, North Dakota.

He wanted to be the delegate who would put Donald Trump over the top, giving him enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.

But when he was contacted by an Associated Press reporter, the AP delegate count stood at 1,235 - two delegates short.

'I'm happy to be No. 1,237,' said Trandem, a small business owner from North Dakota. 'But I won't commit until you're at 1,236.'

Trandem handed the phone to another delegate, Dakota state Rep. Ben Koppleman, who was riding with him.

Is she ready? Hillary Clinton has still to knock Bernie Sanders out of the Democratic race, prompting her to be mocked by a triumphant Donald Trump

After Koppleman confirmed he was committed to Trump, Trandem took the phone back.

'Are you at 1,236?' he asked. Yes, he was told. 'Then I'm the one!'

Trump's path to the Republican presidential nomination began with an escalator ride.

Trump and his wife, Melania, descended an escalator into the basement lobby of the Trump Tower on June 16, 2015, for an announcement many observers said would never come: The celebrity real estate developer, who had flirted with running for office in the past, would announce that he was launching his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination.

That speech set the tone for the candidate's ability to dominate the headlines with provocative statements, insults and hyperbole. He called Mexicans 'rapists,' promised to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and ban Muslims from the U.S. for an indeterminate time.

He put down women based on their looks. And he unleashed an uncanny marketing ability in which he deduced his critics' weak points and distilled those to nicknames that stuck.

'Little Marco' Rubio, 'Weak' Jeb Bush and 'Lyin' Ted' Cruz, among others, all were forced into primarily reacting to Trump. They fell one-by-one — leaving Trump sole survivor of a riotous Republican primary.

His rallies became must-see events and magnets for free publicity. Onstage, he dispensed populism that drew thousands of supporters, many wearing his trademark 'Make America Great Again' hat and chanting, 'Build the wall!'

The events drew protests too - with demonstrators sometimes being forcibly ejected from the proceedings. One rally in Chicago was cancelled after thousands of demonstrators surrounded the venue and the Secret Service could no longer vouch for the candidate's safety.

When voting started, Trump was not so fast out of the gate.

He lost the Iowa caucuses in February, falling behind Cruz and barely edging Rubio for second. He recovered in New Hampshire.

From there he and Cruz fiercely engaged, with Trump winning some and losing some but one way or another dominating the rest of the primary season - in votes or at least in attention - and ultimately in delegates.

All the while, Republican leaders declared themselves appalled by Trump's rise. Conservatives called the onetime Democrat a fraud.

But they failed, ultimately, to block him. Republican leaders slowly, warily, began meeting with Trump and his staff. And he began winning endorsements from a few members of Congress.

As with other aspects of his campaign, Trump upended the traditional role of money in the race.

He incurred relatively low campaign costs — just $57 million through the end of April. He covered most of it with at least $43 million of his own money loaned to the campaign.

He spent less than $21 million on paid television and radio commercials. That's about one-quarter of what Jeb Bush and his allies spent on TV.

Bush dropped out of the race three months ago, after disappointing results in South Carolina.
