The White House posted Trump-themed Eras Tour graphics on X and Instagram and uploaded a TikTok that used Taylor Swift’s song, inserting President Donald Trump into the public conversation about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding weekend.Social media users and critics pointed to the contradiction with Mr. Trump’s public attacks on Taylor Swift, including his 2024 declaration that “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”, and read the posts as ironic, mocking, or a deliberate media provocation.The White House declined to comment further on the intent of the posts, which blend imagery of President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln with Mr. Trump’s portrait and borrow Swift’s Eras Tour branding.The posts arrive while Mr. Trump prepares a major speech and a fireworks display on the National Mall for the government’s milestone celebrations, but
Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelce’s wedding at Madison Square Garden has drawn the majority of media attention.
