Did President Trump post a meme on Truth Social showing SpongeBob SquarePants making a "Got Done Last Week" list? Yes, that's true: The meme appeared on Trump's Truth Social account on February 23, 2025. It was still on the @realDonaldTrump account at the time of this writing.
A screenshot of the post appeared in a post (archived here) on X, published on February 23, 2025. The caption read:
Trump posting SpongeBob memes. We have truly entered the Golden Age of America.
The meme itself depicted SpongeBob holding a pencil and notebook, and showed a close up of his writing, which read:
Got Done Last Week
-- Cried about Trump
-- Cried about Elon
-- Made it into the office for once
-- Read some emails
-- Cried about Trump and Elon some more
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

The meme bore the watermark "nicksdankmemes," and had been posted (archived here) earlier on February 23, 2025, on the X account Nicksdankmemes3, along with a caption that read: "Just 5 bullet points guys, I think you can do it..."
The meme alluded to a message, posted to X by Elon Musk on February 22, 2025, which stated that "all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week," or face termination.
