Just minutes before signing a bill to approve $867 billion in federal agriculture funding, President Donald Trump shared a clip from the 2006 Emmys where he can be seen singing the theme song for the 1960s CBS sitcom Green Acres.

“Farm Bill signing in 15 minutes!” Trump tweeted this afternoon, with a clip of him singing the famous tune alongside actress Megan Mullally.

Reporters and pundits quickly responded to the post with shock and awe, many asking why Trump is hilariously posting his way into a government shutdown. Check out a few of the best reactions below:

No concern here about the government shutting down! https://t.co/MXJnUvHWIm

Trump obviously did not do this one himself, but he signs off on / gives notes on tweets he doesn’t post directly himself, so I woulda liked to be in the room whenever it was that he was briefed on the concept of this tweet.
