The Trump White House has turned online trolling into official messaging — launching “MySafeSpace,” a MySpace-style parody website that ridicules Democrats with memes, music, and mock profiles.
Hosted directly on the official White House website, the page mimics early-2000s MySpace aesthetics — flashing GIFs, retro fonts, and a soundtrack of Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done.” The fake profile centers on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, portraying him as the face of Democratic chaos during the ongoing government shutdown.
The page’s “friends” list blends politics and pop culture absurdity: President Joe Biden, billionaire George Soros, a cartoonish Antifa activist, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz labeled “Tampon Tim,” and even Chucky, the killer doll. Each blog link on the site redirects to negative stories about Democrats, underscoring the administration’s blame campaign.
A fake bio reads, “We love DEI, transgender for everyone, and handing out taxpayer benefits to everyone,” mocking the party as obsessed with “wokeness.” The parody extends to faux movie favorites like the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot and Snow White remake, chosen to satirize progressive media culture.
“This is a creative way to remind Americans who Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and the Democrat Party prioritize above struggling families,” said White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers, adding that Democrats “could end the shutdown at any moment.”
Behind the humor is a serious political fight: the 34-day government shutdown has become the longest in U.S. history. Republicans accuse Democrats of holding funding hostage, while Democrats say cutting Covid-era healthcare subsidies would harm millions.
“MySafeSpace” revives Trump’s signature digital combat style, using nostalgia and satire to dominate the conversation. The full parody can be viewed at whitehouse.gov/mysafespace.
