During an Oval Office visit with veterans Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump laughed at a “picture” depicting former President Joe Biden with a slogan next to it after pointing it out on one veteran’s prosthetic leg.
In October 2021, an anti-Biden slogan was popularized online after an NBC reporter mistakenly claimed a crowd at the Talladega Superspeedway was chanting for race winner Brandon Brown, saying “Let’s Go Brandon,” when the crowd had actually been chanting “fuck Joe Biden.” During the Oval Office gathering to sign a slew of executive orders and meet with veterans, one of the veterans’ wives, Sarah, was asked to speak.
“Alex here earlier was saying in the last few years when he’s gone to get a wheelchair, the VA has asked him, this gentleman, they’ve asked him to prove that he still has his injuries as though maybe his limbs would grow back. And they unfortunately did not,” Sarah said.
“We’ve seen that many times. So we’re excited for you bringing back the VA accountability MISSION Act community care that were the hallmark of your first term,” Sarah added. “We’re so excited, sir, to be here. We’re honored to be here. Thank you for all you do for our nation’s heroes.”
While Trump thanked the group, he was seen looking at one of the veteran’s prosthetic legs, prompting him to ask what the picture on it was.
“Thank you. Who’s that picture on there?” Trump asked.
“That is Joe Biden, and it says, ‘Let’s go, Brandon,’” the veteran responded.

Trump and members of the group laughed.
“I told him he wasn’t allowed to ask you to sign it,” Sarah teased.
“That’s very good. Well, thank you all very much. Would you like to say anything, fellas? There’s a big chance you have a lot of good people watching that believe in you. They happen to be the media, but they believe very much in you like I do,” Trump said.
One of the veterans thanked Trump for the support that his administration has shown throughout his two terms in office. Trump went on to gift each veteran in attendance with a medal, thanking them for their service.
In December 2024, a group of 24 veterans accused then-Department of Veteran Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough of allegedly conducting a “concerted and strategic effort” to stall their access to timely medical care.
