The White House just crashed the Bluesky party with a meme-laden entrance that’s got liberal users clutching their digital pearls.
Fox News reported that on Friday, the Trump administration made a splashy debut on the social media platform Bluesky, joined by Vice President JD Vance and several key agencies, delivering a 52-second video packed with viral memes and rally clips that seem to mock the platform’s left-leaning crowd.
Bluesky, for the uninitiated, became a haven for many former Twitter users after Elon Musk’s 2022 takeover of the platform now called X, drawing a user base eager to escape conservative voices.
The White House’s first post didn’t hold back, featuring a reel of President Donald Trump’s highlights alongside memes like an autopen replacing a former president’s photo and a “Daddy’s home” jab tied to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s viral quip.
Other zingers included an AI-generated image of Trump as the Pope and a sombrero superimposed on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., making it clear this wasn’t a polite hello but a cheeky challenge to Bluesky’s progressive echo chamber.
One has to wonder if this isn’t the perfect way to remind certain folks that ignoring opposing views doesn’t make them disappear—it just makes the surprise sting more.
Vice President JD Vance wasn’t far behind, joining Bluesky in June 2025, though his initial post got briefly flagged as a potential impostor account before the ban was lifted.
Undeterred, Vance came back swinging on Saturday, with an AI video of Trump donning a crown, a sharp retort to the “No Kings” protests that day.
“Hello Bluesky, I've been told this app has become the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis,” Vance posted, a statement that feels like a polite jab at the platform’s reputation for one-sided discourse.
The White House itself set the tone with a post that practically dripped with sass: “What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you.”
That kind of greeting isn’t just a hello—it’s a gauntlet thrown down to a user base that might prefer to scroll past anything remotely conservative.
Let’s be honest: while some may cry foul over the trolling, there’s a certain brilliance in using humor to pierce through ideological bubbles without resorting to vitriol.
Several Trump administration agencies, including the Departments of Transportation, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security, also staked their claim on Bluesky on Friday, signaling a broader push to engage on this platform.
This coordinated rollout suggests the administration isn’t just testing the waters—they’re diving in headfirst, ready to challenge the narrative wherever it’s shaped.
Bluesky may have started as a refuge for those uncomfortable with X’s new direction, but with this bold entrance, the White House seems determined to ensure no digital corner remains an unchallenged safe space for progressive ideas.
