Title: George W. Bush: smiling at the inauguration.
Context: The “George W. Bush smiling at the inauguration” meme became popular because of the funny and slightly awkward facial expressions he made during Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017. In the video, Bush can be seen smiling confidently, but his reactions seemed to show he was secretly aware of something that might cause a stir. People shared clips of these expressions on social media, using them to represent moments when someone is trying to stay calm and composed but is aware of something that might cause a reaction. This meme resonated with many because it humorously captured the idea of keeping a straight face while knowing something unusual or unexpected is happening.
How to use it: Use this template to show staying calm with a sly smile when you know something wild might happen!
