Trump Shares Hilarious Moment With Vet Wearing ‘LGB’ Sticker
President Donald Trump found a moment of humor during an otherwise serious Oval Office event on Wednesday, pausing mid-meeting to chuckle at a sticker worn by a wounded veteran that featured a caricature of former President Joe Biden alongside the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon.”
The exchange took place during a ceremonial signing of an Executive Order focused on expanding veteran benefits. As Trump greeted veterans and posed for photos, he suddenly noticed something unusual attached to one of the visitors’ shirts.
“Who’s that picture on there?” Trump asked with a grin, pointing at the sticker.
“That is Joe Biden and it says, ‘Let’s go, Brandon,'” the veteran replied.
The room broke into laughter as others looked over at the sticker, a nod to the now-iconic anti-Biden slogan. The phrase originated as a euphemism for a vulgar chant aimed at the president and has since become a staple on bumper stickers, hats, and political memes across conservative America.
Another attendee joked, “I told him he wasn’t allowed to ask you to sign it.”
Trump, clearly amused, responded with a smirk, “That’s very good. That’s very good. That’s very good.”
WATCH:
The “Let’s Go Brandon” chant started as a viral misunderstanding — and quickly became a coded phrase used by critics of former President Biden. In October, 2021, NASCAR driver Brandon Brown won his first Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
During his post-race interview with NBC reporter Kelli Stavast, the crowd behind him was clearly chanting “F* Joe Biden.” But Stavast, either mishearing it or attempting to keep the broadcast clean, said: “You can hear the chants from the crowd — ‘Let’s go, Brandon!’”
That line immediately blew up online, with conservatives and Biden critics using “Let’s Go Brandon” as a family-friendly stand-in for the vulgar chant. It became a viral meme, a rallying cry, and merchandise gold — appearing on shirts, hats, bumper stickers, flags, and even in political speeches.
Trump himself has leaned into it, referencing the phrase in rallies and social media posts, further cementing it as a symbol of political opposition to Biden. The Executive Order signing was part of Trump’s broader “America First for Veterans” initiative, which seeks to streamline health care access, reduce bureaucratic red tape, and enhance support for wounded service members and their families.
The gathering was both formal and personal, with Trump expressing deep appreciation for the veterans, calling them “amazing people, great heroes.”
“Mr. President, we just were very happy with the energy that this administration is bringing, and it’s an administration that says it does what it promises,” one veteran told Trump. “We’re behind you. We believe in you. And I think we all love you.”
“Thank you for loving America, sir,” another added.
