Donald Trump figured a music video by rockers Nickelback would be a great way to get in a dig at Joe Biden, so he tweeted a meme on Wednesday that included an edited version of the band’s 2005 song “Photograph.”
The Guardian reports that, at a part in the song where the band’s singer Chad Kroeger normally holds a picture frame containing a photo, the version posted by America’s president showed Biden, his son Hunter, and Devon Archer, who was once a board member with Hunter at Burisma Holdings, a gas company in Ukraine.
The 2014 image of the Bidens, believed to have been taken during a golf game at Sebonack Golf Club in the Hamptons, was first aired by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, the Daily Mail reports.
Complete with block text pointing out Archer as a “Ukraine gas exec,” Trump’s aim was to paint a picture (sorry) that Biden knew about Hunter’s business dealings in Ukraine, which have come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Biden was also shown in the video remarking that he had never spoken with Hunter about his overseas business dealings.
Trump’s version was then overlayed on the song’s original lyrics:
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey’s head?
(“Joey” meaning Joe Biden, get it?) Nickelback, or perhaps their representatives, Warner Media Group, soon reported Trump for copyright abuse, and the clip was removed.
“This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner,” reads a notice posted in its place, and the notice itself has now become its own meme, of sorts.
Trump’s ongoing impeachment inquiry centres on a call between him and Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, in which Trump called on the latter to probe the Ukraine ties of Hunter and Joe Biden. No evidence supports his claim, but Trump has repeatedly said that Joe Biden was involved in the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor who was looking into Hunter’s business in the country.
Congress began its impeachment probe of Trump when a whistleblower, believed to be from the CIA, raised concerns about the propriety of Trump’s call with Zelensky.
At a campaign stop in Reno, Nevada as he continues his 2020 presidential bid, Biden hit back hard at Trump’s meme, saying to Trump:
“I’m not going anywhere. You’re not going to destroy me, you’re not going to destroy my family. I don’t care how much money you spend, Mr. President, or how dirty the attacks get. Trump knows there are no truths in the charges against me. None. Zero.”
Biden called Trump’s call with Zelensky an abuse of power.
