Share on FacebookFrom viral tweets to unexpected blunders, Donald Trump’s presidency was filled with moments that people will be talking about for years to come. Whether they sparked controversy, laughter, or pure confusion, these incidents proved that Trump knew how to make headlines—sometimes without even trying.
Here’s a look back at six of the most unforgettable moments that kept the world watching.
1. The Orange Tan That Became a Meme
One of the most instantly recognizable things about Donald Trump? His tan.
His signature orange complexion and stark white eye circles became an internet sensation. People joked about bad lighting, spray tan mishaps, and makeup disasters—but no matter the reason, Trump’s distinct look became a lasting image of his presidency.
For many, this wasn't just a meme—it was a symbol of his larger-than-life persona.
2. The ‘Covfefe’ Tweet That Left Everyone Confused
Trump’s Twitter account was legendary—but nothing baffled the world quite like “covfefe.”
Late one night, he tweeted:
"Despite the constant negative press covfefe..."
And then… nothing. No explanation. No correction. Just silence. The internet exploded with theories. Was it a typo? A secret message? A late-night slip-up? Even White House officials were at a loss for words.
Rather than clarify, Trump made things even stranger, later tweeting:
"Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe'? Enjoy!"
To this day, no one knows what it means.
3. The 9/11 Tweet That Raised Eyebrows
When commemorating 9/11, most public figures choose their words carefully. But in 2013, Trump tweeted something that left people speechless:
"I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, September 11th."
The reaction was immediate. People questioned whether he meant well or was just being insensitive. Years later, this tweet remains one of his most infamous social media moments, proving that sometimes, less is more when it comes to public statements.
4. The Mysterious Glowing Orb Photo
During a trip to Saudi Arabia, Trump took part in a photo op that instantly went viral.
Standing alongside Saudi King Salman and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump placed his hands on a glowing orb. The eerie lighting, the serious expressions, and the strange sci-fi vibes led to one big question: What exactly was happening?
Conspiracy theories spread like wildfire. Was it a secret energy source? An Illuminati ritual? The real story was far less exciting—the orb was part of a ceremonial event at the Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology.
But by then, the internet had already made up its mind: Trump looked like a villain in a superhero movie.
5. The Toilet Paper Shoe Incident
Some embarrassing moments are universal—and Trump had one of them on camera.
As he boarded Air Force One, cameras zoomed in on his shoe, revealing a long piece of toilet paper stuck to the bottom. Staff members didn’t stop him. He didn’t seem to notice. And by the time he reached the steps of the plane, the internet had already turned it into a meme.
For many, this moment wasn’t political—it was just funny. Even world leaders aren't immune to awkward mishaps.
6. The Fast Food White House Feast
When the Clemson Tigers football team visited the White House after winning the national championship, they were expecting a lavish dinner.
Instead?
They walked into a McDonald’s buffet—Big Macs, Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, and fries stacked on silver platters.
Due to a government shutdown, the White House kitchen was short-staffed, so Trump personally provided the meal—with fast food. Standing proudly behind the spread, he called it "great American food."
The sight of a grand White House dining room filled with burgers and fries quickly went viral. Some found it hilarious, others thought it was embarrassing, but one thing was clear—no other president had ever done this before.
A Presidency Full of Unforgettable Moments
Trump’s presidency was filled with controversial, unusual, and sometimes downright funny moments. Whether it was social media blunders, viral photos, or unexpected gaffes, he knew how to keep the world watching.
No matter what happens in the future, these moments prove one thing—Donald Trump was, if nothing else, one of the most unforgettable presidents in modern history.
