Only three days into Donald Trump’s presidency and the new Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, has become an Internet sensation.

Already, his infamous press briefing, held to ‘clarify’ the number of people who attended the inauguration ceremony, have been mocked relentlessly.

Spicer's remarks - which were proven wrong - then needed defending, with Kellyanne Conway saying they were ‘alternative facts,’ whatever that means.

Now, Spicer’s comments about musicians ‘Daft Funk’ - picked up by CoS - are being shared across the Internet because they’re utterly hilarious.

“Daft Funk,” the strategist Tweeted, misspelling the name of the hugely successful French electronic artist Daft Punk. “This is your 10 seconds in the spotlight - u [sic] r [sic ]blowing it #GRAMMYs #Grammys2014.”

In an additional message, Spicer noted he “was an early and still fan,” “but come on helmets? tey [sic] need to grow up”.

The year those Tweets were published, Daft Punk won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for Random Access Memories and Record of the Year for “Get Lucky.” In total, the famous duo have won six Grammys and been nominated for an additional eight.

At the 2014 award ceremony, Daft Punk performed “Get Lucky” with Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, the duo appearing with their helmets on.

Daft Punk recently took topped the US singles chart, having featured on The Weeknd’s “Starboy.” Looks like they didn't blow it completely.
