George W. Bush has grabbed the internet’s attention once again.
As the former Commander-in-Chief attended the 2025 Presidential Inauguration, where Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, viewers made note of the 43rd POTUS’ particularly animated expressions during the Jan. 20 ceremony.
At one point during the inauguration, Bush—who served in the Oval Office from 2001 to 2009—darted his eyes from side to side as he tried to contain a playful grin, sparking a wave of memes on social media.
“Idgaf what anyone says,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “I love George Bush and his 10-year-old-Christmas-concert-spirit.”
Another user joked, “He’s like that kid at the school play that sees his parents and can’t stop winking and making faces.”
One person shared a comical theory about the 78-year-old’s expression involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was seated directly in front of Bush.
