Supporters at President Donald Trump’s much-hyped celebration outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Thursday got to soak up more than just the Independence Day atmosphere.

They got soaked literally by rain in the hours before the “Salute to America” event.

The president’s critics enjoyed some schadenfreude, celebrating the weather under the umbrella of the #RainOnTrumpsParade hashtag, which trended on Twitter, as well as other hashtags:

Wait a minute... I think I found a #4thofJuly show I really like! 👍🤣 #RainOnTrumpsParade #BoycottDonTheCon https://t.co/s84i4BqZbj

Sad trombone for the Trump supporters who trekked to the Mall in the rain, only to realize the actual event is for rich donors. https://t.co/q1MiPJWAJq

In a clear sign of God’s displeasure, it has just started to rain in DC — right before Trump is supposed to give his campaign speech at his event on the National Mall. ☔️ #RainOnTrumpsParade #McCain4th #PatriotsResist
