President Joe Biden unwittingly becomes a viral sensation after his response to questions about Donald Trump’s guilty verdict draws comparisons to Britney Spears’ iconic moment
Biden, 81, found himself unintentionally at the center of a viral moment this week when questioned about his predecessor Donald Trump’s guilty verdict.
Joe Biden just unlocked a new meme
Trump, the first former US President to be convicted of felonies, was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Biden had previously criticised Trump as “reckless” for his reaction to the verdict.
During a press interaction, a reporter questioned Biden about Trump’s self-identification as a “political prisoner” and the potential impact of the conviction on the upcoming election.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, sir.’
Biden, walking away as questions were fired at him, paused, turned his head, smiled at the press, and then continued walking, inadvertently creating a moment reminiscent of Britney Spears’ viral “walking up the steps” video.
Social media users quickly drew parallels between Biden’s reaction and Spears’ iconic video, creating side-by-side memes that garnered over six million views.
The comparison sparked amusement and disbelief among netizens, with many remarking on the unexpected crossover between politics and pop culture.

This is not the first time Biden has found himself inadvertently intersecting with pop culture. Last year, he mistakenly referred to Taylor Swift as Britney Spears during a speech on his birthday.
The mix-up occurred while Biden discussed two turkeys selected to join him on the White House lawn, leading to humorous reactions from online audiences.
The unintentional meme created by Biden’s response to questions about Trump’s guilty verdict has once again highlighted the fusion of politics and viral internet culture, providing a moment of levity amidst ongoing political discourse.
