President Donald Trump elicited laughter in the Oval Office on Wednesday after asking a wounded veteran about his "Let's Go Brandon" sticker.
While meeting with wounded veterans, the president appeared to notice the sticker, asking: "Who is that picture on there?"
"That is Joe Biden," the veteran replied. "And it says, ‘Let’s go, Brandon.’" Attendees inside the iconic office erupted with laughter.
"I'm saying, ‘what was that picture?'" Trump said through laughter. "That's great."
**SNIP**
Trump's lighthearted Oval Office moment took a heartfelt turn following the sticker exchange. Trump then addressed the group of veterans and their families, many of whom he had previously visited during his first term.
"These are amazing people, great heroes," Trump said.
One veteran offered his gratitude to the former president: "Mr. President, we just were very happy with the energy that this administration is bringing, and it's an administration that says it does what it promises. We’re behind you. We believe in you. And I think we all love you."

I would never want to experience even a day in a life so empty, shallow, uncaring and mock worthy as Brandon’s.

How did Republicans settle on ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ as a
G-rated substitute for its more vulgar three-word cousin?
It started at an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Brandon Brown, a 28-year-old driver, had won his first Xfinity Series and was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter. The crowd behind him was chanting something at first difficult to make out. The reporter suggested they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the driver. But it became increasingly clear they were saying: “F—- Joe Biden.” NASCAR and NBC have since taken steps to limit “ambient crowd noise” during interviews, but it was too late — the phrase already had taken off.
When the president visited a construction site in suburban Chicago a few weeks ago to promote his vaccinate-or-test mandate, protesters deployed both three-word phrases. This past week, Biden’s motorcade was driving past a “Let’s Go Brandon” banner as the president passed through Plainfield, New Jersey. And a group chanted “Let’s go, Brandon” outside a Virginia park on Monday when Biden made an appearance on behalf of the Democratic candidate for governor, Terry McAuliffe. Two protesters dropped the euphemism entirely, holding up hand-drawn signs with the profanity.
On Friday morning on a Southwest flight from Houston to Albuquerque, the pilot signed off his greeting over the public address system with the phrase, to audible gasps from some passengers. Southwest said in a statement that the airline “takes pride in providing a welcoming, comfortable, and respectful environment” and that “behavior from any individual that is divisive or offensive is not condoned.”
Veteran GOP ad maker Jim Innocenzi had no qualms about the coded crudity, calling it “hilarious.” “Unless you are living in a cave, you know what it means,” he said. “But it’s done with a little bit of a class. And if you object and are taking it too seriously, go away.
This post makes me ask “Whatever happened to Brandon anyway?”
My wife got these thick gold plastic “FJB Edition” self adhesive insignias that look just like they came from the original auto manufacturer.
She has one on her Honda CRV on the back right under the model name plate. She put one on my Tacoma too.
I have had several people comment about it.
A couple years ago my son also bought a Honda CRV. When he was at the dealer he told the salesman that his mom had the “FJB Edition”. He said the salesman looked at him strange because he didn’t know what “edition” he was talking about.
My son had no idea it was a joke and a dis of Biden. He was a snow flake at the time.

that indeed was an Iconic moment in time. I would have LOVED to been present when she was corrected as to what the crowd was actually chanting. the look on her face I bet was priceless!!
wow... it appears I have had it wrong for a while!! I thought the reporter flew off the handle and accused the crowd of saying “F___ Joe Biden” when they were actually saying “Let’s Go Brandon!”. I didn’t know it was the opposite...
Hey! It was tapioca pudding day.
