Twitter reacts in funniest way
Hunter Biden and Squirtle usually don’t belong in the same sentence, just as Squirtle and politics are usually on opposite ends of the Twittersphere. But that changed overnight, resulting in “eruption“Hunter Biden Squirtle meme. So why is Squirtle trending on Twitter?
Hunter Biden Squirtle memes take over Twitter
Viewers of Twitter’s trending list were surprised to see Squirtle, the water-type Pokemon, rising up the rankings yesterday. But the strangest thing is that it is classified as political.
The source, the Daily Mail’s story, was featured on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show last night very quickly (visible here).
Those who saw it live thought it was appropriate to tweet, and those who didn’t see that Squirtle was trying to grow. The confusion has led to some funny memes.

Why is Squirtle popular?
Individual Pokemon come in and out.
Again, all sorts of things are high on Twitter’s trending lists, but it’s not obvious why.
When Pokemon fans found out why Squirtle became popular and how it related to Hunter Biden, they were shocked.
I totally expect someone to make a viral post “Reply to your favorite Gen 1 starter Pokemon :D”
