President Donald Trump’s walk back to the White House from Marine One after his disappointing Saturday night rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, presented an image very different from the one he usually projects.
The rally was meant to restart his 2020 reelection campaign, stalled since the coronavirus pandemic shut down most large gatherings.
But the crowd that turned out was much smaller than anticipated, and Trump returned to the White House with an open shirt and an undone necktie as he clutched one of his campaign’s signature red caps.
On Twitter, critics said Trump looked dejected ― and some even added music to the moment:

Disheveled, defeated, humiliated. His pathetic dog and pony show of racism, xenophobia, corruption and lies is getting old; he was undermined, outclassed and embarrassed by teenagers across the nation who coordinated mass purchases of tickets. Bad night for him and his cult!

A teeter in his totter
A hitch in his giddyup
A gig in his rigmarole
A ruffle in his shuffle
And an amble in his shamble.#WalkofShame pic.twitter.com/7wmB9a94sz

Trump looks worse coming off of Marine One after one poorly attended rally than he's looked at any point during this pandemic or economic crisis.
He doesn't care about you, #MAGA.
He just doesn't.#EveryonesLaughingAtYouDonaldpic.twitter.com/UIE3s1LJYv
