Trump’s meme posting is catching on with other top GOP leaders.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz set social media ablaze on Wednesday after releasing a viral video mocking Senate Democrats who voted against a Republican plan to keep the government funded.
Cruz Torches Democrats Over “Schumer’s Shutdown”
Cruz’s post featured a montage of Democrats with superimposed sombreros and oversized mustaches, poking fun at their role in the shutdown.
“The 40 plus Senate Democrats who backed Schumer’s shutdown need to understand—the sombrero posts won’t stop until they finally reopen the government,” Cruz said.
The lighthearted jab quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), with conservatives applauding the senator’s humor while Democrats fumed.
The “MAGA-rena” Goes Viral
The video played a parody of the 1990s dance hit Macarena, reworked into the “MAGA-rena.”
Using an AI-generated version of President Trump’s voice, the lyrics roasted Democrat leaders:
- “Kamala’s never going to beat me in November, Donald’s going to make the country better than you can remember.”
- “Vote for me — Joe’s already had his third accident this week.”
Conservatives hailed the video as a hilarious take on failed Democrat leadership, while critics scrambled to call it offensive.
Inspired by Trump’s Own Post
The move echoed President Donald Trump’s own viral video earlier this week. That clip portrayed Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer in sombreros while mocking Democrats’ weakness during shutdown talks.
Predictably, Jeffries blasted it as “racist” and “bigoted,” while Schumer complained that Trump was “trolling like a 10-year-old.”
Vance Backs Trump, Calls It “Funny”
Vice President J.D. Vance defended the president’s humor, saying:
“It’s funny. The president was joking and having a good time. Democrats should focus on reopening the government instead of whining about memes.”
Bottom Line
Once again, Democrats are more outraged by jokes than by their own failures to keep America running. Meanwhile, Trump and GOP leaders are setting the tone online — and reminding voters who is fighting to Make America Great Again.
