‘American Fascism’: Trump White House Roasted Over ‘Cultish and Cringe-Inducing’ Graphic Depicting Trump as ‘The Hunter’
Observers on social media reacted to a graphic shared by the Trump White House on Monday night with equal parts horror and embarrassment.
The graphic, which depicted Trump in the foreground with American flags, eagles, and fireworks in the background included a quote attributed to Trump that read, “I was the hunted — NOW I’M THE HUNTER.”
“They came after the wrong man,” added the White House’s official X account in its caption. On the campaign trail in 2023 and 2024, Trump oscillated between promising retribution against his enemies and insisting that success in office would be his ultimate revenge.
The post provoked a wide range of critical reactions, including from conservatives.
“Cultish and cringe-inducing. Also, insane,” commented The American Enterprise Institute’s Christina Hoff Sommers.
“Trump II: Out for Vengeance,” quipped National Review magazine editor Ramesh Ponnuru.
“This is American Fascism,” declared MeidasTouch’s Fred Wellman.
“The Slop Administration,” submitted Pedro Gonzalez of Chronicles Magazine.
