A college student's tweet of herself cleaning President Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star set off a meme that inspired others to share their patriotism over the holiday weekend by recreating the photos with other celebrities.

It all started when one Twitter user uploaded photos of herself cleaning Trump's star with the caption, "Stopped to clean @realDonaldTrump Hollywood Star. Nothing but respect for MY President. #RaisedRight" The president's star had been graffitied since his announcement that he would run for office. People have written the words "racist" and "don't vote" above his name, and have even drawn a mute button on the star.

The woman's tweet went viral, with everyone from Sean Hannity to Eric Trump retweeting it or thanking her for cleaning the star. To give you an idea, it's been retweeted more than 54,000 times and favorited more than 200,000 times so far.

However, there is rarely an action involving Trump without an opposite reaction, and from there a meme was born. Other Twitter users have begun posting pictures next to various celebrities and fictional characters' stars, and using similar captions to the original, especially "Nothing but respect for MY president."

Regardless of your political affiliation, the memes that the tweet sparked are certainly a funny way to poke fun at the president.
