The White House recently shared a new photo of Donald Trump on X, captioned “CAN’T STOP WINNING! 🇺🇸” with a bold overlay reading “Almost Friday.”

The image showed Trump inside a congressional setting, his infamous comb-over looking unusually windswept and his trademark smirk front and center. The background was slightly blurred, giving the whole scene a staged, almost surreal feel.

Critics were quick to slam the post.

Many said it makes the presidency look like a joke. Others tied it to Trump’s ongoing controversies, including economic policies that have pushed the national debt close to $40 trillion, investigations into his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, and fears of rising international tensions. Stock markets have been volatile, and some Americans see the “Golden Age” narrative as detached from reality.

Trump’s team has shared heavily edited images before, including pictures of him as a pope or a penguin. Media outlets have called these posts “slopaganda, “cheap hype meant to distract from real problems.
