When asked to comment on the switch, the White House points to an X post that said: "Trolololololol."

But based on the White House's reaction, the switch is not a mistake at all. In response to our request for comment, the White House press team asked us to link to an X post quoting a former staffer annoyed that the change made it appear as though he'd worked for Trump, while saying: "That's the whole point, dummy. Trolololololol."

It's all a fucking game to them

What a bunch of immature pissbabies.

[–] NobodyElse@sh.itjust.works 21 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

No kidding. That’s the actual response, by the way. I thought the OP was joking.

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

this is the cringiest shit I've ever seen.

How tf do you get to being a fat, forehead rolls having, old man and you're unironically acting like a 14 year old on 4chan? In an official capacity to the public? This is senior official in our administration and they have the self control and maturity of a schoolyard edgelord.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

He's always acted like this. Always. His entire persona has always been that of a schoolyard bully, both in personal and professional interactions no matter how much he tries to hide it behind The Apprentice and other media like Art of the Deal.

Jesus Christ, you guys now officially have a dictator. Next is his face on buildings and flags.

I remember the Bush era when people claimed that "America has the most liberties". What a fuckin joke it was back then... Act before you have none left, this isn't funny anymore!

[–] CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net 39 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don't know what you're talking about. Nothing in this image screams dictatorship.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago

I'd be throwing extra spicy cocktails if I'd see the face of the German chancellor next to a German and flag and soldiers parading around on the street. This is absolutely wild fascist dictator bullshit

[–] threeonefour@piefed.ca 18 points 9 hours ago

Hey, I've seen this one!

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 7 points 10 hours ago

Lol, he already put his face on buildings in DC.

[–] fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Maybe he thinks his name is White House, the senile bastard.

[–] Rumbelows@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Cult of personality

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca -5 points 4 hours ago

That's how dumb Americans are

Trump plasters his face everywhere, no one bats an eye

A democrat president doing the same thing? There would be non stop headlines about even one instance of it.

And no don't start arguing with me about republicans and democrats, they're all the same to me ... two halves of a one party state.
