White House under fire for bizarre 'Superman Trump' image, Internet says 'delete this, it's cringe'
The backlash reignited after the Trump administration claimed no Epstein client list exists, a response that not only enraged critics but also left several MAGA supporters furious, demanding transparency. Trump is facing criticism after the account posted an AI photo of the president as Superman, with one user suggesting the profile is being run by a "15-year-old boy."

Recently on Trump's social media posts, netizens have refused to let go of the subject of the
Jeffrey Epstein client list
, with many of the users on Thursday's post asking why it won't be released. This is due to the Justice Department's announcement this week, claiming there is no Epstein client list and the convicted sex trafficker died by suicide in his jail cell.

Social media users mock 'Superman' post
"Superman would drop the Epstein list," one user wrote on Instagram. "Just release the Epstein files," another user wrote. "Release the Epstein client list, stop with the games, or we'll all assume Trump is bought and paid for just like the rest of the American politicians and burn the maga hats!!" another user.

Others pointed out that Superman himself was canonically an "immigrant" from another planet.
"First of all, Superman was an immigrant. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Jewish-American sons of immigrants,' one user wrote. "Superman was an illegal alien, deport him, we need to find some kryptonite," another user wrote.
"Massive Distraction Launched by Trump Regime to distract from his long sordid history of child rape and trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein and subsequent cover up. Stay tuned for further embarrassment," a user wrote.

Many users also questioned the legitimacy and professionalism of the White House after the post was made from the official account of the White House.
Reposting the image, X account which goes by the name 'Republicans against Trump' said, "All hail Superman Trump. Totally normal stuff, and yes, this is from the official White House account." Meanwhile, one user commented, 'White House page is just a slop engagement farm now lmao.'
This is likely a mocking way of referring to Trump's notorious rhetoric around immigration and his ongoing mass deportation efforts.
Other users played into the childish nature of the post, suggesting a child must run the account.
"I'm still convinced a 15 year old boy with ChatGPT subscription is in charge of this account," one user wrote. Please tell me it's Elon's kid running this page," another user wrote.

Dean Cain, who played the Man of Steel in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, reacted to the post with laughing emojis. Cain, who is a Trump supporter, called James Gunn's upcoming Superman film 'woke,' criticizing Hollywood for changing classic characters to 'fit the times.' His comments came in response to Gunn's take that Superman represents 'basic human kindness' and the immigrant story of America, Guardian reported.
This is not the first odd AI photo the White House Instagram page or Trump's personal account has posted since he took office in January. Back in May, Trump's personal account posted an AI-generated image of the president as the Pope, just weeks after Pope Francis had passed away. Commenters expressed similar outrage at the Pope photo as they did at the Superman photo, calling it disrespectful.
"That's so disrespectful. Not funny," one user wrote. "Trump have you lost your mind" another wrote.

As US President Donald Trump signed an executive order revealing his tariff plan ahead of the August 1 deadline, a senior White House official has said the US's issues with India "won't be solved overnight".

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)(AP) Donald Trump on Wednesday had announced imposing 25% tariffs on Indian goods and an unspecified penalty over purchases from Russia. "These are complex relationships and complex issues. I don't think things can be resolved overnight with India,' CNN quoted a senior White House official as saying. Also Read: Trump signs executive order imposing reciprocal tariffs up to 41% on imports The comment from the White House official comes as Trump announced his new trade policy with hours to go before the August 1 trade deadline. The order was issued shortly after 7pm on Thursday evening. Trump announced the reciprocal tariffs between 10% and 41% for 68 countries and the 27-member European Union, with a baseline 10% rate to be charged on countries not listed in the order. A senior administration official said the rates were based on trade imbalance with the US and regional economic profiles. Trump's tariff on India Trump on Wednesday slapped 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods, along with an unspecified penalty tied to energy and defence purchases from Russia. Following the tariff announcement, Trump also maintained that the US was 'still negotiating' with India on trade. The 25% tariff is marginally lower than the rate announced in April, but is higher than those of other Asian countries that have struck preliminary trade agreements with Washington. Reacting to the tariff, commerce minister Piyush Goyal has said that India will take 'all necessary steps' to secure its national interest. 'The implications of the recent development are being examined by the government,' Goyal said while addressing the Parliament. He further said the commerce ministry is engaged with all stakeholders, including exporters and industry for taking feedback on their assessment of the situation.

Trump signs order imposing new tariffs on a number of trading partners that go into effect in 7 days
Trump had announced a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil, but the order was only 10% as the other 40% were part of a separate measure approved by Trump on Wednesday. The order capped off a hectic Thursday as nations sought to continue negotiating with Trump. It set the rates for 68 countries and the 27-member European Union, with a baseline 10% rate to be charged on countries not listed in the order. The senior administration official said the rates were based on trade imbalance with the U.S. and regional economic profiles. On Thursday morning, Trump engaged in a phone conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on trade. As a result of the conversation, the U.S. president said he would enter into a 90-day negotiating period with Mexico, one of the nation's largest trading partners. The current 25% tariff rates are staying in place, down from the 30% he had threatened earlier. "We avoided the tariff increase announced for tomorrow and we got 90 days to build a long-term agreement through dialogue," Sheinbaum wrote on X after a call with Trump that he referred to as "very successful" in terms of the leaders getting to know each other better. The unknowns created a sense of drama that has defined Trump's rollout of tariffs over several months. However, the one consistency is his desire to levy the import taxes that most economists say will ultimately be borne to some degree by U.S. consumers and businesses.
