    i think the joke is mainly that at the press conference last week biden referred to his "vice president trump" and so now trump and harris are interchangeable in the meme discourse

    so i read the intent to be making fun of biden for confusing the two, and then additionally making fun of harris for the strange coconut tree quote because why not throw that in

      Now I remember why I usually don't pay attention to memes at all. I'm like Cher's grandfather in this scene in Moonstruck...

    I don't get it. Serious question - What's the joke?

    Coconut, Kamala, Trump's near assassination... Huh?

              Maybe consider the context of all in which you live and what came before you

    Is this not a JFK assassination reference? Like she's wearing pink and holding the coconut as if she's Jackie Kennedy holding pieces of the president's skull and brain
