Whoever controls the White House Social Media accounts is taking lessons from the troll-in-Chief.
On Valentine's day they posted a pink heart image with the poem “roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally and we’ll deport you”.
Yesterday they posted a video on X captioned “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight” showing officials unpacking handcuffs and shackles before forcing several figures onto a plane. (ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response and refers here to a genre of online videos designed to help viewers relax.)
The posts prompted pushback on X, where a user wrote: “I'm a conservative and this doesn't make me feel good.”
But Elon Musk reposted the video with the caption “Haha wow” followed by emojis of a troll and a medal.
