Donald Trump is the meme-generating gift who keeps on giving.
On Wednesday, the president continued his knack for launching social media phenomena by tweeting a catchy new slogan — “All I want to do is #MAGA!” — in the midst of another attack on mainstream media.
“After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY?” POTUS began before concluding with a phrase that quickly went viral: “All I want to do is #MAGA!”
MAGA, of course, is the abbreviation of his campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” which he apparently now wants to elevate to a new verb.
After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY? All I want to do is #MAGA!

“All I want to do is #MAGA!” almost immediately captured the public imagination, as internet users imagined it as lyrics to a song or “the worst summer jam of all time.”
Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun” was quickly repurposed by Gideon Resnick, who re-wrote a new chorus ending “Until the sun comes up over Penn. avenue.”
Others, including Miriam Elder, re-set the phrase to Don Henley’s “All She Wants to Do Is Dance.”
Here are some of the other online responses.

If you’re not reading “All i want to do is MAGA” to the tune of “all she wants to do is dance” then I don’t know what to tell you.

In "TRUMP! The Musical" the last line of this tweets leads into the Act 1 ballad.

"All I want to do is MAGA" was the hook for a typical '80s pop song probably sang by Cyndi Lauper. https://t.co/OY9VojZyLR
