President Biden made a historic trip to the Amazon on Sunday to reiterate the urgency on climate change, but what really got social media users talking was his exit.
Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the rainforest in Brazil, where he reiterated that "the clean energy revolution" is already underway and nobody, including Donald Trump, can reverse what he has started.
At the end of his address, Biden offered a short wave before wandering into the nearby greenery, and social media users could not get enough of the clip.
The 12-second Pop Base video went viral on X, with many users making jokes at the president's expense.

One X user couldn't get enough of Joe walking "straight into the trees" instead of down the clear pathway.

X user @thegaywhostrayd quipped the president preferred wandering into the Amazon forest to going home to "face Jill, Nancy and Kamala again."
Rather than have to go home to DC and face Jill, Nancy and Kamala again, a sleepy Joe Biden wanders off into the Amazon forest instead. Can't blame him.pic.twitter.com/AVnLwnfsVt

Another compared him to a famous scene from "Pulp Fiction," featuring John Travolta.

One X user referenced a quote from "Madame Web" that went viral last year. In it, Dakota Johnson's character inexplicably states, "He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died."

And X user @arianatorswildt used Biden's puzzling exit as an opportunity to drum up anticipation for the "Wicked" movie premiere.
