Trump obviously saw this after it was retweeted by one on the few people he follows on Twitter, Piers Morgan.
That's beside the point, though, as this was an incredibly odd thing for the president to do and the internet was well and truly baffled.

@emrazz @realDonaldTrump I think he's talking about the wall behind her.— Jamie Chapman 🔬 (@Jamie Chapman 🔬) 1550551866
Let's not forget that this comes in the midst of a so-called 'national emergency'.
@realDonaldTrump We're apparently in day 3 of a national emergency, and Trump is tweeting about things he's watchin… https://t.co/X3VSOWIi9k— Robert Maguire (@Robert Maguire) 1550545468
@realDonaldTrump Amazing! …that you have time to troll around on social media and watch viral video clips during a national emergency!— LeGate (@LeGate) 1550559008
