Trump Shutdown Shuts Down White House Troll Factory
The government shutdown is hindering the work of the White House in one of its most vital and time-consuming areas: childish trolling.
Not only are hundreds of thousands of federal workers being furloughed because of a lapse in congressional funding—which the ruling GOP is insisting is the fault of the Democrats—the shutdown also seems to be impeding the White House press team’s ability to fire off edgelord memes and try-hard clapbacks to the media.
“Due to staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown, the typical 24/7 monitoring of this press inbox may experience delays. We ask for your patience as our staff work to field your requests promptly,” reads an automatic response to the White House press email address.
“As you await a response, please remember this could have been avoided if the Democrats voted for the clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government open. The press office also cannot accommodate waves requests or escorts at this time.”
