Trump Admin Seeks to Use White House Website for Political Attacks Against Democrats
The Trump administration plans to use the White House website as a tool for trolling Democrats and promoting its message, a move seen as an attempt to 'weaponize' the official government site. The tactic is similar to one used by President Bill Clinton in 2000, which launched a new internet address to celebrate changes to the White House website.
The Trump administration plans to use the White House website as a tool for trolling Democrats and promoting its own message. This strategy is seen as part of an effort to 'weaponize' the official online presence of the executive branch. The move reflects the administration's increasing reliance on social media and digital platforms to shape public opinion and target opponents. By leveraging the White House website, Trump's team aims to create a sense of intimacy and familiarity with the president's views, despite criticisms that it can also be used for divisive rhetoric.
