Trump’s Meme Team Fails as White House TikTok Strategy Crumbles
The White House’s Director of Digital Content, Billy McLaughlin, has departed his role, as announced in an op-ed. This departure coincides with the launch of a new White House TikTok account, which was met with significant criticism and trolling, including calls for the release of the Epstein files. Democrats, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom, have also stepped up their own meme-based attacks. The Trump administration’s previous use of memes to promote policies had already drawn criticism, making the TikTok launch a target for the platform’s users who were eager to call out hypocrisy.
