Donald Trump attended the Nascar Cup Series just days before earning the title of first and only former president to be a convicted felon, and a clip of him seemingly saluting random things has gone viral. While certain things are appropriate for Trump to salute (like people, for example), he seems to be saluting planes and even the song “Amazing Grace.” As you might imagine, users on X, formerly Twitter, had quite a few jokes in their back pocket. Keep reading for more information.

Donald Trump Salutes ‘Everything’ Nascar Cup Series
Ron Filipkowski, a federal attorney known for ridiculing Trump on social media, posted the video that has now gone viral. In it, the former president stands next to a large crowd full of children and adults pointing and gasping in awe as a plane flies overhead. Trump, however, keeps his hand stiffly pressed to his forehead, saluting. Even as he turns back and forth, watching the plane fly overhead, he holds strong in his salute.
Confused Trump salutes during Amazing Grace. WTF?

“He’s just walking around saluting everything today,” Filipkowski captioned the video. “He salutes during Amazing Grace. He’s saluting people. Saluting airplanes.” A second video shows the former President saluting while “Amazing Grace” is being sung. Those around him have a hand pressed to their heart, quietly singing the words, while Trump keeps a frown plastered on his face and his right hand pressed to his brow.
Twitter Users Drag Donald Trump For Saluting Antics
Of course, other Twitter users had to get in on the joke, adding over 3,000 comments to the video. "Like a confused child," one person commented.
"Donald Trump is increasingly acting like a nursing home patient wandering around the parking lot looking for his car," another described,
"He had no idea how bad the back of his bald head looks, just as he has no idea how ridiculous his saluting looks being the only one in the crowd doing so," one tweet reads.
"Trump is unwell," another person said simply.
"Did he just superglue his hand to his eyebrow?" a final person asked.
