On Friday, the president honored the World Champions of both the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association with an event at the White House, marking a first-of-its-kind celebration.

The moment was so iconic that the official Republican Party X page immediately turned it into a meme:

The hat in question is one of 250 made to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States and was crafted in Garland, Texas. Those looking to get their hands on one will have to be willing to part with upwards of $10,000.
“A 10K gold Betsy Ross–inspired flag concho, custom-made by Clint Orms, adorns the side of the hat. Its flowing silhouette features a single diamond set among the stars, a subtle but powerful tribute to the nation’s first flag. At the back, a matching 10K gold circular hat band slider—also handcrafted by Clint Orms—holds 13 individually placed diamonds, representing the original colonies and the foundation of our republic,” the website explains of the hat. “Inside, the hat liner showcases the Preamble of the United States Constitution, a reminder of the ideals that shaped a nation.”
X users reacted to Trump’s viral moment:
He looks great in a cowboy hat!

Nice. I’m a Texan and have a Stetson hat but I can’t pull it off. It stays in the box.

Put a red 47 patch on that and wear it in Texas. It’s the only way to stop Texas from going Blue in the midterms
