A photograph of acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney set Twitter alight on Friday.
Reuters photographer Tom Brenner snapped Mulvaney soon after he arrived at Palm Beach International Airport, Florida, on Air Force One following President Donald Trump’s Thanksgiving visit to Afghanistan.
He was wearing a stars and stripes shirt ― and a hat emblazoned with the words “Space Force,” in reference to Trump’s planned new branch of the U.S. military.
Tweeters inevitably had some thoughts on Mulvaney’s outfit.
“He totally looks like Trump’s caddy in this photo,” wrote one.
Added another: “Mick Mulvaney looks like he’s starring in a Disney+ movie about a 10-year-old who accidentally becomes president.”
