On Monday, Donald Trump reposted a meme of himself playing the violin with the words, “My next piece is called… nothing can stop what’s coming.”
The president shared the visual on his Twitter account with the caption, “Who knows what this means, but it sounds good to me!”
The meme ended up with hordes of critics noting the similarities between Trump and Roman emperor Nero, who fiddled as the city was burning down.
One user even deciphered Trump in the image as a modern-day Nero, “[playing] golf and [posting] stupid memes while many Americans are at risk of contracting the coronavirus.”
Eventually, the word “Nero” made it to the list of Twitter’s trending topics for the day. The meme was first shared by White House’s social media director Dan Scavino.

I’m not sure “fiddling” metaphors are what you want right now. pic.twitter.com/dJdEfTBLy4

It means Trump is just like Nero, but instead of playing the fiddle while Rome burns, Trump plays the violin in a stupid meme as our country is engulfed in a coronavirus outbreak.

It means that Nero fiddled while Rome was burning, but you play golf and post stupid memes while many Americans are at risk of contracting the coronavirus.

It means you are clueless.
It means you're an idiot.
It means November is coming.
Dumbass.
