President Donald Trump went viral on Sunday for what can best be described as his energetic waving of the green flag at the IndyCar Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C.

If you missed it, the Fox broadcast caught Trump smirking and waving the flag back and forth like an enthusiastic orchestra maestro, wile First Lady Melania Trump smiled widely right next to him. You watch it in the clip below:

And like with anything Trump-related, the moment was loved by MAGA fans and loathed by anti-Trumpers, while a few others used it as a chance to fire off some jokes.

We’ll start with the reactions from the pro-Trump crowd, with several X users saying Trump looked like he was having the time of his life at the race.

“Incredible,” one user marveled. “How does he do it?”

I love how happy he looks. You can tell he’s been waiting for this https://t.co/o2sUlpQfut

Three minutes after President Trump waved the green flag for the inaugural Freedom 250, France announced its complete and unconditional surrender. https://t.co/gWh6SuItfw

Trump haters didn’t enjoy it as much, though. Many mocked the president for the clip, with many saying he looked “uncoordinated” and like he didn’t know how to wave a flag.

Most uncoordinated president in American history.

So embarrassing https://t.co/E7QnU65UEQ

This has to be the most embarassing way to wave a flag in have ever seen in my life.

Also, considering he lost the war with Iran, it probably should be white. pic.twitter.com/PHRItIse52

And Trump’s longtime foe Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) used it as an opportunity to bash the president, saying he was using “taxpayer money” on his “self-aggrandizing distractions.”

While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice.

More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions.

And you get higher taxes and higher costs. pic.twitter.com/gYca1FDqJh

Trump has been excited about the IndyCar race for months, and he and the First Lady took an honorary lap around the track before the race on Sunday.

“They’re great athletes,” Trump said at an event in July about the Indy drivers. “Nothing—nobody can do—they’re born with something very special. They’re born with an ability to press that pedal all the way down to the ground. Most people can’t do that. Very few people can. But their beautiful cars are going to make freedom roar. This will be a freedom that’s roaring like never before.”

Kyle Kirkwood won the race, by the way.
