Trump repeatedly deleted and re-shared a tweet concerning actress Sydney Sweeney multiple times.
In a series of recent posts on Truth Social, President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on various topics, including Taylor Swift's performance at the Super Bowl, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and actress Sydney Sweeney.
Contrary to Trump's claim, Taylor Swift was not booed at the Super Bowl due to a decline in popularity. Instead, the boos were reportedly due to a technical issue during her performance [1]. Trump, however, asserted that Swift had become "NO LONGER HOT" after the event, a statement that lacks factual basis.
Trump also weighed in on Sen. Warren's criticism of his firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In a post, Trump urged CNBC to ask Warren "real questions," in response to her concerns about the potential for installing a sycophant in the role [2].
The president's posts about Sydney Sweeney, however, were marred by spelling errors. Initially, Trump misspelled Sweeney's name as "Sidney" and Bud Light as "Bud Lite." The post was deleted and reposted multiple times to correct these errors [3].
Reports suggest that the White House handles social media posting by President Trump through a coordinated messaging and communications strategy managed by the administration's communications staff. Key officials, such as the White House chief of staff and senior communications advisors, are generally involved in shaping official statements and responses [4].
Trump's posts about Sen. Warren and Sydney Sweeney were part of a broader pattern of reacting to whatever appears on television, rather than focusing on world affairs. This pattern has earned Trump the label of an "agent of chaos," who fires off posts about various topics he sees on TV [5].
Meanwhile, the American Eagle ad featuring Sydney Sweeney has sparked an online debate, with some seeing it as a potential dog whistle to racists [6].
In other news, the newly revised job numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the U.S. added 258,000 fewer jobs in May and June than initially reported [7]. Trump has previously claimed that job creation numbers reported by the BLS were rigged, but there's no evidence to support this claim.
Lastly, a pro-Trump documentary series, Art of the Surge, showcased the team process of tweeting with Trump during a speech from Kamala Harris in the 2024 campaign [8].
