President Trump liked a tweet about HBO’s “Insecure” Sunday evening, prompting the Twitter user to change their name to “Black Lives Matter.”

The account had shared a gif with the caption, “This is how I wanted tonight’s episode of insecure to end… Damn Molly.”

It was liked from Trump’s official account and is his only liked tweet.

“Insecure” is an award-winning comedy-drama about best friends Issa and Molly, two black women who are navigating the awkward everyday situations surrounding work, life and romance. The show, based on comedian Issa Rae’s web series “Awkward Black Girl,” often addresses race, culture and social issues.

Rae responded to Trump liking the tweet:

what the fuck is this

Trump’s like has remained up on Twitter for more than 17 hours. It is unclear whether the like was a mistake, but the president has never in the past expressed he is a fan of the show.
