The White House recently shared a Valentine's Day digital card featuring President Trump and border czar Tom Homan, warning undocumented immigrants. The message, part poem and part meme, showcases a shift in social media strategy under Trump's presidency, utilizing playful tones and internet lingo. While it resonated with Trump supporters, others found it insensitively humorous. This approach marks a notable departure from previous administrations, emphasizing the administration's aggressive stance on immigration and Trump's desire to directly communicate with the American public through modern platforms.
In a post on Tuesday, the official White House account on X shared a video of a person in handcuffs preparing to board a plane, which was captioned ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight. The caption was a reference to Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response videos, which are widely popular online for delivering pleasant sounds that create positive and therapeutic sensations.
Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, said in a statement that emphasized Mr. Trump's embrace of various social media platforms. The message was well received by many of Mr. Trump's fans, or was at least a form of internet language they understand well.
