According to Trend News monitoring, the official account of the U.S. Department of Education posted a viral video on X: overlaying a "Pinocchio Nose Counter" on an interview clip of teacher union president Randi Weingarten, implying that her remarks on Trump's education reform were "lies." This is a long-standing focal point of conflict between the Trump camp and the teacher union, seen as official-level direct ridicule, leading to a rapid escalation of discussion.
With the rapid spread of the video, "Pinocchios" has become a new online slang term, and a large number of nose-growing reaction images mocking politicians began to appear. The discussion spread to the Solana blockchain, where users launched a token named PINOCCHIO. Within 24 hours, there were 19 projects with the same name, the mainstream consensus version had a 24h trading volume surge to $1.1M, the highest market cap reached 210k, and there were 866 holders.
The long-lasting vitality of political memes has also brought continuous overflow heat—after all, "Pinocchio" has been a long-standing meme in American politics for decades, and in the future, whenever politicians debate, pointing fingers at lies, it will be repeatedly used.
