Social media users didn’t take long to notice RFK Jr.’s awkward reaction. A user on X (formerly Twitter) posted, “Get a load of the look on RFK Jr’s face as Trump hawks his new merch in the Oval Office.”

Another joked, “It thinks the merchandise is cheesy.”

The moment quickly went viral, with thousands sharing memes and jokes about the unusual scene.

Below are more reactions from X (previously Twitter):

Alongside the new red MAGA hats, another trend was also emerging—”Dark MAGA.” Unlike the classic red caps, Dark MAGA hats are black and have become a new favorite among Trump supporters. This trend was made popular by billionaire Elon Musk, who has recently become a significant figure in conservative politics.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), many attendees were seen wearing Dark MAGA hats. Musk, an unexpected guest at the event, took the stage wielding a chainsaw—a dramatic entrance that left the crowd cheering. His appearance was announced just hours before he took the stage, showing how much influence he now has in conservative circles.

Musk’s presence at CPAC was no accident. Once a supporter of Democrats like Obama and Joe Biden, Musk has become a strong voice in conservative politics. “He is an authentic and unique individual. I am glad he is on the team,” said Whitney Mason, a 62-year-old real estate agent from Seattle.

His influence doesn’t stop at fashion choices. Musk has worked closely with the Trump administration on government efficiency, cutting costs, and reducing bureaucracy. House Speaker Mike Johnson praised his efforts, saying, “What Elon and the team are doing is what Congress could not do. They have cracked the code.”

Trump’s merchandise has always been a significant part of his brand. The Dark MAGA trend has proven to be a huge success, with the black hats outselling the classic red ones almost two to one. Since the last election, they have brought in over $1.6 million in sales.

Selling hats in the Oval Office is another example of how Trump turns everything into a business. He keeps his supporters excited, but he often mixes governing with self-promotion. Meanwhile, figures like RFK Jr. and others in his administration seem increasingly sidelined as Trump’s political strategy leans more toward theatrics than leadership.
