AboutWhat does the meme depict?
Joe Biden's Evil Smirk, also known as Joe Biden Turning and Smiling, is a meme template that captures a moment from a press interaction where U.S. President Joe Biden is asked about Donald Trump calling himself a "political prisoner." In the image, Biden is seen pausing, turning his head, and offering a slow, somewhat sinister smile. This expression was interpreted by some as 'evil,' while others found humor in his smirk.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a post on X (formerly Twitter) by The Spectator Index on May 31st, 2024. The post included a video clip showing Joe Biden at a press conference. As he walks away from the podium, he is asked about Donald Trump's assertion of being a 'political prisoner.' Biden then pauses, turns, and wordlessly smiles in a dismissive or mocking manner, which became the basis for the meme.[1]
