For anyone who hopped onto Twitter Thursday morning, it may have been surprising to see Jan Brady trending in the top 10. To put it simply, President Trump can be thanked for that.

The President went on a Twitter rant on Thursday morning with his messages being aimed at the Russia investigation. He began by tweeting, “Russia, Russia, Russia!,” before proceeding to claim innocence from any possible interference by the foreign power. He followed this up by slamming the “fake news” media.

However, it was the first bit that social media latched onto immediately.

People online began equating the start of his latest rant to Jan Brady’s famous line from “The Brady Bunch,” launching the character into the top 10 trending list on Twitter. And what has followed has been a flood of memes and GIFs bringing the famous show character and the President together in a humorous fashion.
