You know when we were children and our parents told us when we made stupid faces that if the wind changed we'd be "stuck like that forever". Well, 'Count Dankula' has just experienced this in real life.... on Twitter and now no-one's taking him seriously...
It looks like the joke's backfired. Apparently he can no longer discuss serious subjects.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi official portrait unveiled during ceremony on Capitol Hill
A portrait was unveiled for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Capitol Building Wednesday, which will be placed into the Speaker's Lobby alongside other previous Speaker portraits.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was immortalized at the Capitol on Wednesday, during a ceremony in Statuary Hall where her official portrait was unveiled. She also became the first female in U.S. history to receive such an honor.
Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker was celebrated alongside her husband Paul and other current and former members of Congress.
The quests also included former House Speaker John Boehner, who applauded Pelosi as "one tough cookie."

"The younger generation today has the saying: Game recognizes game," Boehner said during the ceremony. "And the fact of the matter is no other speaker of the House in the modern era Republican or Democrat — has wielded the gavel with such authority or with such consistent results. Let me just say, You’re one tough cookie."

Former President Barack Obama also provided a videotaped message in which he said Pelosi "inspired a generation of women to run, win and lead because they’ve seen her, what someone like her — and someone like them — can do."

Pelosi’s portrait was painted by the late Ronald Sherr in 2014, following her first tenure as speaker from 2007 to 2011.
It was not unveiled at the time, and she later regained the gavel in 2019.
