About

Mike Pounce refers to a series of jokes about Vice President Mike Pence having the qualities of a cat, following a gaffe by United States President Donald Trump.

Origin

On September 12th, 2019, in an address to a retreat for House Republicans in Baltimore, Maryland, President Trump accidentally referred to Vice President Mike Pence as "Mike Pounce."

That day, Twitter user @atrupar tweeted the clip with the caption "Mike Pounce." Within four days, the tweet received more than 825,000 views, 8,100 likes and 2,700 retweets (shown below).

Spread

Following the release of the video, people began editing images of Pence and adding a number of references to cats. For example, Twitter[1] user @Acyn shared an image of Pence with cat features fixed to his face (shown below, left). Within four days, the tweet received more than 2,300 likes and 530 retweets (shown below, left).

Throughout the day, others shared various images of Pence that featured references to cats (examples below, center and right).

Several media outlets covered the memes, including Business Insider,[2] The Hill,[3] HuffPost,[4] Elite Daily,[5] Indy100[6] and more.
