White House mercilessly mocked for posting pic of Trump as Superman
The White House posted an image of Trump as Superman - here’s how the internet responded
- The White House posted a meme depicting Donald Trump as Superman, seemingly to capitalise on the buzz surrounding a new film about the DC Comics character.
- The image showed Trump in Superman's iconic costume, accompanied by the caption "THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP."
- The post was met with widespread mockery and criticism on social media, with California Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia remarking that Trump is "literally Lex Luthor."
- Commentators criticised the perceived normalisation of such content for Trump, with one suggesting the official White House account had become a "slop engagement farm."
- This incident follows Trump's past comparisons of himself to various historical and religious figures, and similar criticism faced by the Biden administration for its "Dark Brandon" meme.
