The Trump White House, especially in the president’s second term, has posted a lot of things to its official social media accounts that no other White House would, whether it’s partisan political attacks, memes, or juvenile name-calling.
Of late, though, the White House has been getting even weirder, posting cryptic stuff. On Wednesday, the White House posted and later deleted a brief video in which all that was visible was the top of a woman’s shoe, and someone could be heard saying, “It’s launching soon, right?” Speculation stated that this could be anything from a new military attack in Iran to a podcast by some MAGA figure.
“Two mysterious videos posted to the White House’s official X and Instagram accounts on Wednesday night generated buzz online, with the purpose of the short, vertically shot clips unclear. One video was later deleted,” CNBC reported. ”
The second short video, posted at 10 p.m. EST, showed a black, staticky screen with a phone notification sound playing. An American flag was visible in one frame. The post included emojis of a smartphone and sound.”

What the fuck is this?! Weirdo trolling when there’s a political race going on is one thing, it’s a completely different thing when American lives are on the line and jagoffs in the White House are playing silly games instead of figuring out what to do in Iran.
