Flashbacks to his first presidential win. X.x
In the 2016 US presidential election aftermath, a false but repeated claim stated Harambe received over 15,000 write-in votes.
While there's a super small possibility this is thanking those 'voters' (when has fact checking ever mattered there), it's probably just working off the same meme idea that powered that rumor to begin with.
