The Obamagate meme emerged as a prominent political slogan and internet phenomenon in May 2020 after former President Donald Trump used the term to allege unspecified misconduct by the previous administration. The meme typically satirizes the vague and mysterious nature of the accusations, often featuring Trump in a pointing gesture or an intense facial expression. It became a viral sensation across Twitter and Reddit, used by supporters to signal awareness of a perceived scandal and by critics to mock the lack of concrete details. Its longevity in internet culture stems from its versatility in commenting on political discourse and the nature of trending news cycles.
