Donald Trump appeared to sulk on board his plane, dubbed "Trump Force One," as he deliberately snubbed President Joe Biden's Oval Office address on Wednesday night.
Later, he criticized the speech as "sooo bad" on his Truth Social platform.
A photo posted on social media by Chris LaCivita, a Republican strategist on Team Trump for 2024, shows the former president pouting with Biden's broadcast playing in the background.
The image quickly went viral, with many comparing Trump's grimace to that of a child missing out on sweets.
One Twitter user commented, "And for those who are wondering if Donald Trump is having issues of mental fitness - listen to this again. This was different from his normal and continuous lying, we are so used to it. It was outlandish and child-like."
Another user, quipped, "Trump looks like he's got constipation! He is so gross!" while another , "Biden has more class and patriotism in his pinky than this [clown emoji] will ever have in his life."
Trump's behavior also drew criticism for his blunt message on Truth Social after Biden's address, where the president discussed his support for Harris, his past accomplishments, and future plans.
Trump wrote, "Crooked Joe Biden's Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad!"
He followed with, "CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND LYIN' KAMALA HARRIS ARE A GREAT EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA - THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE THIS!"
During a campaign speech in Charlotte, Trump harshly criticized Harris, calling her an "ultra-liberal," "radical left lunatic" and attacking her stances on immigration and abortion.
His tirade seemed focused on Harris, overshadowing any detailed discourse on his own policy proposals.
A photo captured by New York Times photographer Doug Mills shows Trump seemingly amused as he views Biden's address from the comfort of his private jet.
