Michael Caine Cryptically Tweeted The Word 'Jet'—And The Jokes Came Flying In

The Oscar winner sparked a flurry of memes and jokes after tweeting the single word "jet" on Monday.

Legendary Oscar winner Sir Michael Caine may be 92 years old, but he's no less a social media maven than the young people among us. In fact, he might even be better at it than the youths!

What makes him so good at the social media game is the way he gets right to the point with as few words as possible.


For example, his response to that appalling meeting between Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Trump in the Oval Office a few months ago? A simple tweet reading: "Trump calm down." Right! Exactly!

And Caine's latest Twitter hot take is perhaps the most succinct of all, at just a single, evocative word.

Exactly, king!

Okay, but what the heck does it mean? Well who knows, but the most likely explanation seems to be a reference to Trump's latest scandal, in which he has accepted the "gift" of a jet from Qatar in a gesture that is boldly unconstitutional even for him.

Speaking about the gifted 747, which Trump intends to use as the new Air Force One because the regular one isn't good enough for him, he told reporters:

“I could be a stupid person and say, ‘Oh, no, we don’t want a free plane.'"
"We give free things out. We’ll take one, too.”

The Constitution is unequivocal about the illegality of the President receiving foreign gifts, not that any of Trump's "Constitutional originalist" cronies give a fraction of a sh*t.

Anyway! Caine seems to have wanted to remind us all of this boldly illegal acct, or maybe to underline its absurdity with his signature tweeting style.

The humor was definitely not lost on pretty much anyone on X, who immediately turned it into a meme.







One of our greatest living actors and perhaps our greatest living tweeter. What can't Sir Michael Caine do?

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
