The tweet, sent minutes after Republican senators found him not guilty oncharges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, shows a long line of Trump campaign signs stretching well past his 2020 re-election: Trump 2024, Trump 2028, Trump 2032 … all the way to Trump 2048 and beyond.
“Trump 4eva,” the meme ends, as the Trump campaign sign transform to depict a future where he is the eternal commander-in-chief. (It’snot the first timethe president has shared it.)
While Trump sent aseparate tweetstating that he would be making a more official statement from the White House on Thursday afternoon, the meme’s tone was in keeping the same divisive and unfiltered style that carried him into office.
He was impeached in December after a House of Representatives investigation found that he withheld some $400 million in aid to Ukraine to pressure the government there to investigate his political rivals.
But he has insisted he did nothing wrong, despite the evidence against him, and conservatives have mounted a series of defenses including attacking the Democratic investigation and saying Trump acted within the scope of his authority.

On Twitter, as they have with numerous other such tweets, Trump’s detractors were quick to reply to his trolling tweet with their own thoughts.
“First president in American history with a bipartisan vote to be removed from office,” one userwrote, referring to Utah’sMitt Romney, who became the first senator in historyto vote to remove a president of their own partyfrom office.
(In her statement, Grisham dismissed Romney as a “failed presidential candidate,” echoing her Trump’s past criticisms.)
“There goes that dictator mentality again,” another persontweetedback at Trump. “Exactly what you want to see in a president.”
His defenders were in the mix as well, some of whom adopted his tone.
Onewrote: “Congrats on the beautiful acquittal, Mr. President!”
Trump’s children also spoke out about his acquittal. DaughterIvanka Trump, who is a senior White House aide, wrote on her Instagram Story that “this factional fever and incoherent, ill-conceived process has finally ended and the President has rightfully been acquitted. It is time for our Country to move forward. Together. POTUS has accomplished so much and is just getting started. The best is yet to come!”
Donald Trump Jr., one of his dad’s most popular campaign surrogates, posteda memelike his father along with a sarcastic tweet that Democrats now had the chance to work together with the president.
Eric Trump, who with his brother Don Jr. is running his dad’s real estate company, also posteda memeshowing the president as a boxer dodging incoming blows.
