Did President Joe Biden troll his Republican opposition when he met with a guy named Brandon? Social media users seem to think so.

But first, some context.


Last week, an anti-Biden rap song began making the rounds, eventually rising to the top of the iTunes hip-hop chart.

The song, entitled "Let's Go Brandon," is performed by rapper Loza Alexander and went viral on TikTok.

It was inspired by the "Let's go Brandon!" meme that has taken social media by storm since NBC's Kelli Stavast interviewed NASCAR driver Brandon Brown after he came in first place at Alabama's Talladega Superspeedway earlier this month.

The interview went viral because the crowd could be heard chanting "F*** Joe Biden" in the background, which Stavast misheard as "Let's go Brandon!"

The moment was widely viewed as an example of the heightened political polarization in American politics as the Biden administration continues to work on bridging the gaps in a stalled legislature in an effort to codify its social and economic agenda.

But President Biden appears to have subverted the joke, according to internet users who couldn't help but comment after Biden met with a man named Brandon to drum up support for Biden's "Build Back Better" intiative.

Writing on Twitter, Biden said:

"I'm fighting every day to pass my Build Back Better Agenda for folks like Brandon. His story is like so many I've heard across the country."
"Folks are just looking for a fighting chance and to be treated with the dignity they deserve–and that's what my agenda is all about."

Was this merely a coincidence?

The internet didn't seem to think so.

In fact, many agreed the President's social media game is strong.



In the weeks before Biden's video was posted, the phrase "Let's go Brandon!" had been used to criticize his administration's policies, including when hundreds of General Electric (GE) workers walked off the job to protest vaccine mandates.

Clearly, the President's social media team knows what they're doing.

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
