Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter and a White House adviser, tweeted an unusual image of herself with her father aboard Air Force One on the way to a rally in Georgia on Monday.
And she added an even stranger tag.
The president’s daughter tagged the Republican Party, Georgia senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler and White House aide Dan Scavino Jr. She didn’t tag her father. But she did tag singer/actor and former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Meat Loaf:
Off to Georgia with Dad! Get out and VOTE Georgia!!! 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/zm7Zk6l6wo
— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) January 4, 2021
Meat Loaf, like the president, has the word “Real” at the start of his Twitter username, but other than that, it’s unclear how or why she selected his name for the photo.
The tweet took off like a bat out of hell as Twitter users questioned both the unusual image and the strange tag, which caused the singer’s name to trend:
One assumes Ivanka Trump did not mean to tag Grammy winning musical artist Meat Loaf in the selfie she took with the President aboard AF1, en route to tonight’s rally in GA, but at this point in the cycle a surprise Meat Loaf appearance wouldn’t even be *today’s* weirdest thing. pic.twitter.com/qQa4AtouLa

BREAKING: Meat Loaf is really Q.

You heard it here first.
Why does Ivanka always look so fucking weird?
Is there a German word for "terrified, yet haughty"? pic.twitter.com/K1Tnq7liC9
between the bizarre photo choice and even weirder tagging of @RealMeatLoaf, I'm absolutely flummoxed by this Ivanka tweet https://t.co/LBlpkajfDj

I would just like to point out that she didn’t tag her dad in this picture. However, she did tag Meat Loaf. I feel like there is some symbolism in that. https://t.co/Mfod6E7GNf

Ivanka calls her dad Meat Loaf. I think she’s trying to tell us something, like in a hostage video. pic.twitter.com/9nOg0h34aY

The daughter (and supposed senior advisor) of the president of the United States just accidentally tagged her father as the singer Meat Loaf in a picture of them on Air Force One and I am literally in tears

She tagged Meat Loaf ... the singer. 🤷♀️ https://t.co/ng43dlxY6H

"Oh good he's tweeting again. I'll tag Meat Loaf in the photo instead of him and see if he notices." https://t.co/mLCoTp9X9R

It’s still early in the year but @RealMeatLoaf mistagging on Air Force One is most 2020 moment of 2021.

Even more so if Meatloaf is actually apprenticing on AF1.
