An image of Donald Trump disembarking from the helicopter looking exhausted and defeated has gone viral online.
The photo was captured after the president returned from his sunpar campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where only over 6,000 people turned up at the 19,000-capacity BOK arena.
In a video, Trump was seen alighting the Marine One with his white shirt left unbuttoned and his tie undone. He held his red Make America Great Again hat in one hand, as he looked disappointed and exhausted.
Critics were quick to poke fun at Trump, turning the moment into a meme and calling it the “walk of shame.” Others had more joy from layering music into the video, including Simon and Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence and Foreigner’s I Want to Know What Love Is.
“I can’t stop watching this. It’s like a kid who had a birthday party and no one showed up,” one user commented. “Walking into work Monday morning like,” another Twitter user posted alongside the photo of Trump walking. Read more responses below.

A teeter in his totter
A hitch in his giddyup
A gig in his rigmarole
A ruffle in his shuffle
And an amble in his shamble.#WalkofShame pic.twitter.com/7wmB9a94sz
