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

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!

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

Hey, I've seen this one!

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

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

What a bunch of immature pissbabies.

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

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.

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.

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

Is The Onion leaking again?

You'd think if you looked like a bag of spoiled mashed potatoes spray painted orange that you wouldn't want to remind everyone of how gross you look, but yeah...

Since dictators are the ugliest looking things in history I guess their narcissism makes them think they look good. 🤢

Cult of personality

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

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.
