The Potato Trump meme is a surreal piece of internet culture that involves digitally blending Donald Trump's recognizable facial features and signature hair onto the lumpy surface of a potato. This visual metaphor often pokes fun at his tan or simply exists as a form of 'shitposting' that values absurdity over direct political commentary. It gained traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter as a versatile template for highlighting ridiculous situations or making self-deprecating jokes using Trump's iconic rhetorical style, such as 'Believe me' or 'Tremendous.' The meme's popularity stems from the jarring yet weirdly fitting combination of the former president’s expressions with an everyday root vegetable.
