US President Joe Biden has become, according to some, the latest ambassador for Bitcoin in his re-election campaign ad. It is not yet known whether this was intentional or the design was a mere coincidence. In any case, on the mug in the video, from which Biden sips his coffee, we can see the president depicted with laser eyes, which is known to be one of the most well-known symbols of Bitcoin and the crypto community. On Thursday, US President Joe Biden published a campaign video in which he drinks his coffee from a mug depicting himself with laser eyes, and then offends the audience with the phrase “a cup of Joe has never tasted better”. “I like my coffee dark”, adds Biden, which started out as a mockery, but was cleverly forged into an attention-grabbing self-marketing alter ego, Dark Brandon, adds Biden. By the way, social media unanimously considered the video cringe, i.e. “unpleasant to even watch”. A cup of Joe never tasted better.

Both for tea drinkers. The purchase amount is a donation to the Biden Victory Fund. AMERICAN MADE | UNION PRINTED,” the post reads. Dark Brandon, Joe Biden’s online alter ego The comedian’s portrayal of the president, dubbed “Dark Brandon”, typically depicts a laser-eyed Joe Biden. The meme first started spreading on Twitter in the late summer of 2022. While right-wing influencers like Ben Shapiro mocked it, others complained that the “libs ruined their meme.” But the original (negative) purpose of the meme’s creation and potential cringe elements didn’t stop many Biden supporters from wholeheartedly embracing and passing on the images. The meme gained public attention at a time when Biden was enjoying a string of political victories. Biden’s achievements and the public’s sense of humor made Dark Brandon an irresistible meme superhero.
