Trolling TikToks From Trump’s White House That Will Make You Question Reality

For Trump’s White House, TikTok has become a vehicle for meme-filled policy posts and outrageous moments, and the government has never been more theatrical.

If you thought the White House was done breaking the internet, think again. Under the Trump administration, TikTok has become an unlikely vehicle for policy updates wrapped in dramatic edits, meme-ified messaging, and an unmistakable thirst for entertainment and engagement. From rage-baiting audiences with popping rap lyrics to trivializing serious issues, the White House TikTok account has done it all.

Bakari Sellers: Why Elon Musk Should Scare Everyone

Let’s take a look at some of the most outrageous TikTok videos dished out by the administration. But first, brace yourself. Because the government has literally never been more theatrical.

Border is LOCKED 🔒

Using a comedic highlight from the memorable and trendy film, “Soul Plane,” Godfrey — who plays Gaeman in the film — flips and latches several locks on the cabin door before saying “This motherfucker is locked.” The administration used the scene to describe the border.

Merry Christmas & Maga

A family gathers outside their MAGA home to celebrate Christmas 2025. Except, a giant MAGA sign makes a bright and blinding appearance, smack dab on the front of the property. And apparently… this is heartwarming. 

Trump Imitating Trans Weightlifters

@whitehouse

KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN’S SPORTS 🏋️‍♀️

♬ original sound – The White House

In this clip, a classic Spongebob is struggling to lift a branch with a marshmallow on each end. “Keep men out of women’s sports,” the administration’s caption darted. These are our leaders.

‘A Great Day For Venezuelans’

@whitehouse

A great day for Americans, Venezuelans and democracy 🇺🇸

♬ original sound – The White House

After U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife under President Trump’s authorization, he went on to post what appears to be Venezuelan crowds celebrating in the streets. International law? Ahh, who needs it. Bold move.

‘2026 Mood’

Don’t get us started on the administration’s trendy soundtrack. While depicting the U.S. forces’ “2026 Mood” for deportations, the White House felt “Big Guy” by rap baddie Ice Spice did just the trick. “The white house rage baiting half the population,” one fan in the comments teased. Mind you, this wouldn’t be the first time the President used hip hop or rap to convey a message.

Trump Walked Out to Nicki Minaj

It’s no secret that rap queen Nicki Minaj has seemingly gone balls to the walls MAGA, and to this day, it’s rubbing everybody wrong. This moment reflects that change as well, as Trump is seen wishing patrons a Happy New Year to Minaj’s “The Night is Still Young.”

Trump Prepares Soldiers Using ‘Gladiator’ Film

@whitehouse

And we are JUST. GETTING. STARTED 😤

♬ original sound – The White House

Utilizing the film “Gladiator,” Trump used dramatic energy for the last days of 2025. On-screen text read, “President Trump preparing his team for 2026,” while the caption read: “And we are JUST. GETTING. STARTED.”

‘I Would Give Myself an A+’

In this TikTok clip, the controversial head of state clipped himself over a video that appears to show folks being deported on a plane. Known for his self-applauding rhetoric, the leader gives himself an “A++,” despite folks across the nation feeling absolute chaos on a daily basis.

Teasing Democrats with ‘The Grinch’

@whitehouse

Democrats calendar booked for 2026 already too 😌

♬ original sound – The White House

Trump is no stranger to a tussle, especially when it comes to his opponents. This time, he’s teasing Democrats for wallowing “in self-pity,” and “self-loathing,” using an iconic scene from Jim Carrey’s “The Grinch.” Yes, this is the official White House TikTok.

‘Jingle Bells’ — But It’s Not What You Think

Yo. The president used “Jingle Bells” to depict immigrants being placed in cuffs and deported! Mind you, the leader stated they’d be sent to “any foreign country, just as long as it’s not here.” BRUH.

‘Deportations Will Continue’

@whitehouse

Daily reminder: THE DEPORTATIONS WILL CONTINUE

♬ original sound – The White House

Using a clip from the classic movie fave “Home Alone,” the White House snagged a photo of a particular individual in order to make an example out of them, and folks weren’t impressed. “Embarrassing & unprofessional,” one user wrote, while the White House caption read: “Daily reminder: THE DEPORTATIONS WILL CONTINUE”

‘Let’s F*cking go!’

This has to be the first president in history to caption a public post with “LFG” while celebrating social media milestones. And to humble him, one fan shot back, “you have 3M but the democrats have 3.7M.”

There’s Still So Much Time Left in This Presidency

As my group chat continues to fill up with the president’s trolling tactics, we’ve all agreed on one thing: it feels like Trump has been in office forever. “Aren’t we supposed to be voting again soon?” we joked. Truth is, the trolling isn’t going anywhere before November 2028. And with less than a year in, let’s just say — folks are already tired.
