Top 10: Unserious White House social media posts

The account has shifted from emergency directives and announcements to (what I hope are) satirical meme posts.

This one is fake — it would be easy to confuse it for real, though.

As of January this year, a certain social media account has started to gain lots of traction — no, not Trump’s recently unbanned X account. Think bigger, whiter, house-y-er… let’s take a look.

Nothing like the grand old flag to bottom off the ranking — let’s be more creative next time.

The skies look like they’re dripping varnish (the same color as a certain someone’s complexion); uncaptioned, this post captures the essence of orangeness.

Golf Scores

I honestly can’t tell if these scores are real or not. If they are, thanks! I definitely needed to know Trump’s golfing scores from an official White House account. If they aren’t real, that makes it 10x funnier.

The White House’s Gen Z marketing team knows their trends; the flags could’ve been more creative, though. Just waving it around doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I sense very little symbolism — future APUSH students will have a hard time analyzing this one.

Golden Age Movie Poster

I’m honestly impressed with whoever edited this poster — it’s very vintage. But then again, the fictionality of the poster is also reflected in the presidency. Double points for effort.

LET HIM COOK

Nothing like a presidential portrait with uncanny resemblance to Trump’s mug shot, at a strange angle, to convey the emotion in ‘LET HIM COOK! 😤.’ If crime rates are supposed to decrease, though, why are we endorsing a convicted 34-count felon on the White House social media accounts?

This might be the first time Trump has ever actually cooked (a meal). The post is truly representative of the average American; otherwise, I am lost for words.

Very on-theme, propaganda-esque. Good job, media team! Trump looks like he just went through a K-beauty routine — he needs to share his skincare secrets.

Ignoring the caption for a second, I admire the skill the editing team must’ve needed to photoshop Trump’s head that well. Taking the caption into account, this post would drop off the list into the depths of Mustafar.

Almost Labor Day

This post is simple — not too satirical, not specifically racist. It plays on the “Almost Friday” barstool trend, and the irony that Trump’s policies eliminate construction jobs for low-income workers just tops it off.
