Recently, a video that took place in the White House took on completely different plot lines on the Internet in the United States and China.
In the United States, it has been criticized by many people. But in China, netizens turned it into a large-scale comedy scene.


The starting point of the matter was a video released by the White House.
On March 6, Trump released a picture of several pastors praying around him in the White House.
At that time, the situation in Iran was escalating. These pastors gathered in a circle. Some put their hands on Trump, and some put their hands on each other’s shoulders, praying and blessing the United States.
The whole picture looks like this: a group of people sit in a circle, putting their hands on their shoulders, bowing their heads in prayer, and the atmosphere is solemn…
But after watching it, many netizens said: This picture… is a bit dramatic.
Some people even said that it looked like some kind of ceremony was being held for Trump to make him look like a man of God who was “blessed by prayers.”
As a result, the video quickly spread online. However, the real “plot twist” occurred after it spread to Chinese social media.
Chinese netizen: Good meme, use it
After the video was spread to China, netizens suddenly discovered that this scene is very suitable for adaptation.
As a result, a new Internet method was born: “Company Prayer Circle”.
On Weibo and Douyin, many companies began to shoot imitation videos. But the participants are no longer pastors and presidents, but: bosses, department managers, workers…
Everyone gathered in a circle, put their hands on colleagues’ shoulders, and some even put their hands gently on their colleagues’ heads. Then “pray” seriously.
The content of the prayer is usually as follows: May the company’s sales increase significantly this year, may the wages of all employees increase, and may the boss pay more bonuses… While praying, I can’t help but laugh.

Bosses: Let’s make a marketing video by the way
Some netizens posted screenshots of these videos on X.
He said that many small Chinese companies and factory owners are now leading their employees to play this joke:
“The boss called the employees to come and gather in a circle, put their hands on their shoulders or heads, and then pray in a very funny way: “I hope the company will sell better and the employees will earn more.” “

The videos spread quickly on Douyin and Weibo.
One netizen also joked: “I don’t know how many blessings came from the White House prayer, but these Chinese bosses directly turned the White House prayer scene into free global marketing material.”

Internet: The more you read, the more outrageous it becomes
Similar videos were soon everywhere.
Someone shared a video: a company manager stood in the middle and led his employees in a circle to pray. The title of the video is: “Chinese boss leads employees to pray for company sales to skyrocket.”

Historian Tong Bingxue also commented on Instagram that many bosses now call their employees to circle around and jokingly pray: “I hope there will be higher sales and more bonuses.”
At the same time, some people also forwarded these videos to Reddit.
The title of one post read directly: “Chinese netizens turned a photo of Trump praying at the White House into a meme.”
On Douyin and Weibo, such videos continue to appear.
The pictures are basically the same: a circle of employees are standing, the boss is standing in the middle, everyone puts their hands on each other’s shoulders, and then someone says seriously: “Come on, pray, sales will double this year.”
