<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jenna-bush-hager">Jenna Bush Hager</a> reacted to her father, former President George W. Bush, going viral again, this time for the numerous expressions he made during President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>’s inauguration.
Speaking on the “Today” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niFefWx_kkY">show</a>, the morning host said the images of Bush making silly faces and giggling during the swearing-in of the 47th President of the United States on Monday has caused the family’s group chat to explode, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/01/21/entertainment/obama-was-bad-influence-on-george-w-bush-at-trump-inauguration-jenna/">New York Post</a> reported.
“You all already guessed what moment has been blowing up our family group chat,” Hager said, pointing out how her dad went viral for smiling, winking, looking surprised, and more.
“Yeah, my dad went viral for these cutaway shots during yesterday’s broadcast,” she added. “The internet’s obsessed with this little smile and goofy expression.”
In a later part of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niFefWx_kkY">show</a>, Jenna admitted inaugurations in her family are kind of like going to your kid’s holiday concert and said “you don’t really care about the whole scene. You’re just zooming in right on your kid.”

“That’s a little bit about how we watch an inauguration in my family. I’m like, ‘What’s happening with the parents,’” she added, pointing out that her dad seems to go viral for &#8220;basically anything.”
“He didn’t do anything, I mean, that’s what his face looks like,” Hager continued. “I mean that’s his face. He was actually very well-behaved.”
During the show, Jenna also reminded everyone how her father went viral eight years ago during Trump’s first inauguration, when Bush had a bit of a battle with a poncho at the ceremony. The hilarious video of him tussling with that poncho can be seen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntYZK9ZMCaA">here</a>.

“Eight years ago there was a poncho,” Hager said. “He [Bush] couldn’t figure out a poncho and it became sort of a thing. This time evidently there was this video…where he and [former] President [Barack] Obama had this exchange.&#8221;
Jenna’s comment was in reference to when Obama leaned over and whispered something to Bush before the ceremony that made her father start laughing.
“You guys, you can’t just blame him because it looks like my dad was also seated next to a bad influence,” Hager said. “I just love how when they’re together, they become unusual friends.”
