When Donald Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, January 20, 2025, social media couldn’t help but turn his inauguration into a treasure trove of memes. From humorous observations to satirical takes on the day’s events, the online world eagerly dissected every moment, big or small, of the ceremony. The result? A viral collection of memes that offered a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the key figures and guests.
Of course, as expected, social media was ablaze with reactions. Whether it was the infamous moment involving First Lady Melania Trump’s barely visible face due to her oversized hat or the hilarious clip of Hillary Clinton’s uncontrollable laughter, there was no shortage of meme-worthy content.
The day also brought attention to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who was caught seemingly eyeing Jeff Bezos’ fiancee Lauren Sanchez—an image that quickly went viral, sparking endless commentary and debate.
Let’s dive into six moments from the inauguration that turned into internet sensations.
Melania Trump’s Hat: A Moment of Unintentional Comedy
For her husband’s historic day, Melania Trump went all out in a chic, double-breasted navy-blue ensemble from Adam Lippes, complete with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits. The outfit was stylish, but it was her hat that stole the spotlight. Not only did it manage to obscure half of her face, but it also turned into the subject of countless memes, especially after it became an obstacle when Trump leaned in to kiss her. The Internet quickly got creative with that one.
Hillary Clinton’s Laughter: The Internet’s Favourite Reaction
One clip that had the Internet in stitches showed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton struggling to contain her laughter during Trump’s inaugural speech. As he joked about renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” Clinton burst into laughter, and her husband, Bill, could be seen glancing at her, perhaps wondering what had triggered her outburst. One user summed up her reaction saying, “When Donald Trump starts talking about the Gulf of America, the entire sane world is Hillary Clinton.”
Bernie Sanders: Still the Meme King
In the midst of Trump’s speech, there was Bernie Sanders—doing what he does best: remaining completely stoic and unimpressed. Sitting with his arms folded, Sanders’ lack of enthusiasm was the perfect meme fuel. After becoming an Internet sensation in 2021 for his iconic pose at Joe Biden’s inauguration, Sanders once again found himself at the heart of meme culture.
“Bernie is at it again,” wrote an X user.
John Fetterman’s Casual Fashion Choice
Despite the freezing temperatures that forced the event to move indoors, Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania took a casual approach to the inauguration dress code. Dressed in a black hoodie, grey shorts and sneakers, Fetterman was a stark contrast to the more formally dressed attendees. The image of him in such laid-back attire quickly became an Internet sensation, with many users commenting on how “wild” the moment was.
Mark Zuckerberg and Lauren Sanchez
One of the most widely shared images from the day was that of Mark Zuckerberg seemingly eyeing Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’ fiancee. Was Zuckerberg looking at her? Or was it just a perfectly timed photo that made it seem so? Either way, the image became a meme template, with social media users chiming in with their interpretations of the moment.
Barron Trump: The Tallest Trump
Donald Trump’s son, Barron, caught the attention of the Internet with his striking presence at the ceremony. Dressed in a tailored suit, the 6-foot-7-inch teenager was the subject of numerous comments about his height. A viral video showing Barron walking at the event sparked even more interest, with many asking, “How tall is Barron Trump?” One clip featuring Barron and Elon Musk also made the rounds, fueling further speculation.
The inauguration, held indoors for the first time in four decades due to the cold, also saw JD Vance being sworn in as Vice President. The event was packed with prominent figures, including tech moguls, cabinet nominees, and former presidents—yet it was these quirky moments that truly captured the attention.
