President Donald Trump ’s July 4th event has produced a new meme.
The president was trolled on Twitter over the weekend after a short clip of a performance at his “Salute To America” event went viral.
The Saturday evening celebration which included military flyovers, a presidential address from the White House South Lawn, and a massive fireworks display that packed people into the National Mall despite dire concerns it would further the spread of coronavirus also featured several musical performances. One video, posted to Twitter, shows military personnel performing Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ 2014 hit “Uptown Funk” to a largely empty patch of seats.
Other footage from the event showed guests which included medical and law enforcement workers, administration staff and military waving flags and applauding onstage performers.
Twitter users quickly threw back to the time Bruno Mars performed “Uptown Funk” at a July 4th South Lawn event hosted by former President Barack Obama in 2015.
Social media users did what they do best and promptly turned the moment into a meme.
