the White House has responded after drawing ire and backlash over its recent memes, one of which included a fake movie poster depicting President Donald Trump as Superman.<\/p>\n

In a post shared acrosts its core social media accounts on Friday night, the White House said: \u201cNowhere in the Constitution does it say we can\u2019t post banger memes,\u201d alongside a picture of an announcement board that read \u201cOMG, did the White House really post this?\u201d In response, one X user argued that such memes show \u201chow unserious this Administration is.\u201d The White House\u2019s defiant stance was also shared across the official POTUS accounts on X, Instagram, and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The White House earlier on Friday posted an AI-altered image of Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California, a Democrat, after he criticized an ICE raid at a marijuana farm. The post featured a doctored image of Gomez crying, labeling him \u201ccryin\u2019 Jimmy.\u201d The upload was condemned by many, with one Instagram user asking: \u201cWhy is the official White House page making these kind[s] of comments?\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on Thursday night, the White House social team prompted reactions far and wide, some of the mocking variety, when it replaced actor David Corenswet with Trump in a meme of the poster for the new movie Superman. Where the original poster says \u201cA James Gunn film\u201d at the top, the Trump team\u2019s alternative reads \u201cA Trump presidency,\u201d followed by the slogan: \u201cTruth. Justice. The American Way.\u201d The accompanying caption referred to \u201cSuperman Trump\u201d as the \u201cSymbol of hope.\u201d The mock-up movie poster stood out amid a slew of other posts that focused on high-stakes matters such as the Trump Administration\u2019s border patrol policies and the relief efforts for the devastating Texas floods.<\/p>\n

The White House\u2019s foray into movie-related memes came after Superman writer and director Gunn drew ire from conservative voices after declaring that the superhero is, in fact, an immigrant. In an interview with the Times of London, Gunn said: \u201cI mean, Superman is the story of America. An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.\u201d
\nIn the midst of Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown\u2014which has resulted in an uptick of ICE raids across the U.S., but especially in states such as Texas and California\u2014some conservative commentators and platforms took umbrage to Gunn\u2019s framing of Superman, who is originally from the fictional planet of Krypton, as an inspiring immigrant. Prior to the film\u2019s release, Ben Shapiro complained that \u201cSuperman is going woke,\u201d while Kellyanne Conway, a former White House counselor who served during Trump\u2019s first term, said on Fox News that people \u201cdon\u2019t go to the movie theater to be lectured to\u201d or to \u201chave somebody throw their ideology onto us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
