The White House has responded after drawing ire and backlash over its recent memes, one of which included a fake movie poster depicting President Donald Trump as Superman.
In a post shared across its core social media accounts on Friday night, the White House said: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say we cant post banger memes, alongside a picture of an announcement board that read OMG, did the White House really post this? In response, one X user argued that such memes show how unserious this Administration is. The White Houses defiant stance was also shared across the official POTUS accounts on X, Instagram, and Facebook.
The White House earlier on Friday posted an AI-altered image of Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California, a Democrat, after he criticized an ICE raid at a marijuana farm. The post featured a doctored image of Gomez crying, labeling him cryin Jimmy. The upload was condemned by many, with one Instagram user asking: Why is the official White House page making these kind[s] of comments?
Meanwhile, on Thursday night, the White House social team prompted reactions far and wide, some of the mocking variety, when it replaced actor David Corenswet with Trump in a meme of the poster for the new movie Superman. Where the original poster says A James Gunn film at the top, the Trump teams alternative reads A Trump presidency, followed by the slogan: Truth. Justice. The American Way. The accompanying caption referred to Superman Trump as the Symbol of hope. The mock-up movie poster stood out amid a slew of other posts that focused on high-stakes matters such as the Trump Administrations border patrol policies and the relief efforts for the devastating Texas floods.

You try to portray yourself as something you're not then you're hurt when people make fun of you. Grow the fuck up.

(4,177 posts)Yes, posting such crap is far, far below the dignity of the Office of the President of the US. But the MAGAts just love it, so, expect it to continue.

(442 posts)The TACO White House proudly posted the picture of fat 78 year old man. It reminded me of a 7 year boy in his Superman pajama's posing before going to bed.
