Former President Donald Trump became the subject of jokes and memes after his gaffe about waging all-out war on American democracy, which he later corrected, went viral.
“We want to put our country first; they haven’t done that in a long time, but we did it for four years and that’s why we did so well,” Trump, who is the current favorite to claim the Republican nomination, told a supportive crowd in Cedar Rapids.
The segment of the speech containing the “all-out war” gaffe went viral on X, formerly Twitter, after being uploaded by Acyn, a researcher for the self-styled “pro-democracy” MeidasTouch Network.
Verified account VBrian Resists responded to Acyn’s post with a cartoon of Trump placing dynamite at the base of a statue with the word “Democracy,” and added the caption “No ****.”
Not everyone who replied to the post had a negative opinion about Trump, with the verified account Jordan Vegan Patriot said: "What do you consider the definition of democracy to be?
An unedited version of the speech at Iowa shared by Right Side Broadcasting Network, a Trump-supporting channel, also showed the former president seeming to attempt to correct himself shortly after making the gaffe.
