After Trump Referred To Himself As A "King," People Are Review Bombing The White House On Facebook

Yahoo20-02-2025

The official White House social media pages are looking less like official accounts and more and more like tacky, offensive, and highly concerning meme pages.
For Valentine's Day, the official White House Facebook and Instagram account posted this image featuring President Donald Trump's face alongside his "border czar," Tom Homan. The post rhymes: "Roses Are Red / Violets Are Blue / Come Here Illegally / And We'll Deport You."
Then, the White House's official X and Instagram accounts posted a video of a deportation with the caption "ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight."
Twitter: @WhiteHouse
The video features the sounds of handcuffs dragging across rocky ground and people walking in shackles and getting chained (because, apparently, humiliating people while their entire lives get uprooted is the Trump Administration's idea of ASMR relaxation).
Of course, people in the comments were not happy about either post. "If you enjoy this, you need to deeply reflect on the kind of person you aspire to be," one person wrote in response to the White House's ASMR video.
And now, the White House social media pages took it one step further, publishing a fake Time cover depicting Trump as a king. The caption reads: "'CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!' –President Donald J. Trump."
After that alarming post, people have started review bombing the White House's official Facebook page. The approval rating is currently standing at 44%. "South African has invaded the place. Smells like sewage and lies," one person wrote in their review, not recommending the White House.
"No president is King. White House used to be an honorable place. Now its housing felons and lowlifes trying a coup. Elon in the oval office with his spawn putting boogers on the resolute desk. Disgusting. Let's hope the clowns don't burn down what's left of those hallowed halls," another person wrote.
"It smells like McDonald's and the Diet Coke fridge is always broken. I'm not sure what it is but there is also this weird orangish stain all over the furniture and light switches. 0/10 do not recommend," someone else said in their "review."
"poor customer service. poor management," this reviewer said.
"Used to be a beacon of hope and leadership for the world. Pretty sure they just park golf carts there now. One star. Do not recommend!"
"The tenants of this house should be evicted, immediately."
"0/10 would not visit again. it stinks in there. need to evict the current tenants they're ruining the place," this person wrote.
And lastly, "Needs a new occupant. Preferably one committed to upholding the Constitution rather than becoming a king."
Anyhoo, you can head over to facebook.com/WhiteHouse/reviews to read more reviews.

‘My duty is to call it out': Judge accuses Trump administration of discrimination against minorities

A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan on Monday accused the Trump administration of 'appalling' and 'palpably clear' discrimination against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ Americans. 'I've never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I've sat on this bench now for 40 years. I've never seen government racial discrimination like this,' said U.S. District Judge William Young, a Massachusetts-based jurist who took the bench in 1985. Young's sweeping rebuke during a court hearing was a reference to two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump that led the National Institutes of Health to rescind funding for research related to racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. Though Young said he was uncertain whether he had the power to block the executive orders themselves, he declared the NIH cuts Monday to be 'illegal' and 'void,' and he ordered the NIH to immediately restore the research funds. An appeal is likely. 'I am hesitant to draw this conclusion — but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it — that this represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America's LGBTQ community,' the judge said. 'That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out.' Young's commentary was an extraordinary departure for a federal judge of any era even at a moment when Trump's policies have been facing stiff resistance in the courts. Trump swept into office in part on his promise to withdraw government support for programs he deems supportive of 'diversity, equity and inclusion' initiatives as well as any he claims support 'gender ideology extremism.' The orders led to a governmentwide crackdown on funding for programs and research related to minority communities — and has spawned a long list of lawsuits calling the abrupt cuts illegal. Young isn't the first Reagan-appointed judge to take issue with the Trump administration. Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to relocate transgender women to men's prisons, and he has used his perch to defend the courts against criticisms from Trump and his allies. In similarly memorable remarks from the bench, Judge John Coughenour, based in Seattle, accused Trump of viewing the rule of law as an 'impediment' to his priorities. Trump allies have brushed off the judges' critiques as relics of an earlier age of establishment-led government. The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but Trump aide Stephen Miller posted on X in response to Young's commentary, calling DEI 'illegal racial discrimination.' 'The government cannot be forced to discriminate against Americans based on race,' Miller said. Judges have routinely and repeatedly found that the administration's race to terminate contracts, dismantle agencies and deport immigrants has been tainted by illegality and violations of due process, but few have mounted such a broad-based rejection of the administration's policies themselves. 'You are bearing down on people of color because of their color,' Young said. 'The Constitution will not permit that. … Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?' The Justice Department has contended that its efforts to cut research grants — and many other programs and agencies — were simply a reflection of the new Trump administration's policy priorities, reflected in Trump's executive orders and unreviewable by the courts. They say the president should have broad latitude to set priorities and pause funding for programs that no longer align. But Young said the administration made virtually no effort to push back on claims that the cuts were discriminatory. 'We're talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community,' he said. 'That's appalling.' Young's comments came after he ordered the Trump administration to restore hundreds of scientific grants the National Institutes of Health terminated earlier this year. His order came as part of a lawsuit from more than a dozen state attorneys general and advocacy groups for public health researchers that alleged the grant terminations were haphazard and discriminatory. The Department of Justice, which defended NIH, argued the terminations align with congressional mandates to 'improve research.' 'Research programs based on gender identity are often unscientific, have little identifiable return on investment and do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans. Many such studies ignore rather than seriously examine biological realities. … It is an improvement to eliminate these,' DOJ lawyer Thomas Ports Jr. said during the hearing. Young pressed the DOJ for an explanation: 'Where's the support for that? … I'm asking you [to] just explain to me 'often used to support unlawful discrimination.' I see no evidence of that.'

Senate Republicans to Omit Medicare Advantage Cuts in Tax Bill

(Bloomberg) — Senate Republicans are proposing cuts to the Medicaid program for low-income and disabled people that are more aggressive than policies the House passed to help pay for President Donald Trump's sweeping tax package, according to people familiar with the legislation. As Part of a $45 Billion Push, ICE Prepares for a Vast Expansion of Detention Space As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage Notably, the Senate abandoned efforts to cut costs in the Medicare program that provides health insurance to people over age 65 and the disabled. The decision is good news for Humana Inc. and UnitedHealth Group Inc., which are major players in the Medicare Advantage insurance market. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana had pushed to clamp down on private Medicare Advantage insurers by making it harder to game the federal subsidy system by exaggerating the health challenges their enrollees face. But Cassidy's proposal faced some opposition among Republicans. The Senate plan — slated to be released on Monday — solidifies congressional Republicans' decision to cut funding for Medicaid health insurance for the poor to pay for tax cuts, which Democrats are eager to attack them for ahead of next year's midterm elections. Republicans are eager to portray the cost savings as reductions to 'fraud, waste, and abuse' in the programs, though the changes would also lead to millions of people losing health insurance. Senate Finance Committee Republicans did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Senate went further than the House's proposal to limit the options states have to fund their share of Medicaid. The House bill would set a moratorium on new or increased taxes on medical providers, while the draft Senate bill would cut the amount that states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act can tax health care providers to help fund their programs, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss a plan that is not yet public. The Senate proposal would gradually limit states to taxing providers at 3.5% of facilities' net revenues from treating patients from the current level of 6%. In the Senate proposal, non-expansion states, such as Texas and Florida, would be frozen at current tax rates, they said. Some states tax health care providers, such as hospitals, to help raise money for state Medicaid budgets. Critics say limiting provider tax rates would simultaneously curb states' ability to pay their higher tab as a result of the reductions to federal matching funds. In the House proposal, states would also be limited from seeking new payments for providers that exceed Medicare payment rates. The House allowed higher rates for states that haven't yet expanded Medicaid under the ACA. The Senate proposal goes further, and reduces all state-directed payments gradually for expansion states to Medicare rates, and to 110% of Medicare rates for non-expansion states. Senate Republicans plan to drop policies that would modestly change how pharmacy middlemen called pharmacy benefit managers do business in Medicare. They also plan to omit a proposal to boost pay for doctors in the Medicare program that had been included in the House proposal, the people said. The PBM policy change is likely positive for Cigna Group and CVS Health Corp., which own two of the largest PBMs in the country. Because the House and Senate versions of the legislation differ, the legislation would need to pass the House again before it goes to the president's desk. How much to cut health care programs has been one of the major points of contention in assembling the tax package.

She also shared that the college senior came home with a new habit — barging into her parents' bedroom without knocking. "And so I said, Lola — I don't want you to take this the wrong way, I'm very excited that you are home. We missed you. You are the heart of this family. You're so funny, and you're just fantastic. But you gotta knock," Consuelos said while co-hosting Live with Kelly and Ryan. Read the original article on People
