The HUD monitors shifted from a satirical fake video featuring Trump and Musk to a continuous loop of Trump signing executive orders. A HUD worker and union officials described discomfort with the new content, likening it to state propaganda. Traditionally, HUD monitors communicate official information, not videos. The HUD press office defended the shift as showcasing the Trump administration's achievements regarding affordable housing and urged the media to cover these successes comprehensively. This unusual use of monitors has sparked discussions about propriety in governmental communication.
On Monday morning, screens at HUD briefly displayed a fake video of Trump sucking Elon Musk's feet; on Tuesday, they switched to clips of Trump signing executive orders.
It's making people uncomfortable. It's like state propaganda. Two HUD workers noted that videos on these monitors were unusual and mostly used for information.
The monitors at HUD are now showcasing the wins of the Trump administration, including action to lower the cost and expand the supply of affordable housing.
We expect the media to cover these historic achievements with the same level of detail and immediacy as other frivolous stories.
