Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump squared off in their first presidential debate on Tuesday, September 10, in Pennsylvania. Harris tried her best to express her discontent with what Trump was saying during the debate, even though she did not have her microphone on to stop him. Social media users kept themselves busy doing the most apparent thing when Harris and her Republican opponent engaged in the verbal sparring: memes.

As per Daily Mail, Harris once mimed the phrase "that's not true," and she smiled bemusedly when Trump called her a "Marxist," resting her chin on her hand. Now, X users used Harris' expression — a sardonic smirk — as inspiration for their "new meme template."
