Trump pushed a new White House app live on Friday, putting his second-term record and selected news stories into one place on people’s phones. But of course, its just another platform for MAGA propaganda, much like his so-called Truth Social.
The launch is coming after a string of short teaser clips posted earlier in the week on official government accounts.
“The conversation everyone’s watching is now at your fingertips,” said the White House X account in a post announcing the launch.
Cryptopolitan took a look at the app, and here are what we saw:
Trump’s White House app centralizes MAGA messaging through built-in sections
As you can see up there, the main screen says in all caps “AMERICA IS BACK,” with a picture of Trump, and shows blocks for Trump’s policy plans and another for what he has done in office. Each block sends users to pages that already exist on the White House website, so the app mostly pulls together content that is already live.
One section says “Investment Boom,” then another “Priorities,” then “Affordability,” and of course a section for “Border.”
The affordability page lists a 0.7 percent drop in prescription drug costs over the past year. Trump has said his policies pushed drug prices down, including plans tied to “most-favored nation” pricing deals.
The Investment Boom mentions [all unverified] investment commitments from foreign governments and large companies. It points to money pledged for projects inside the United States. A separate border page shows a line that reads “0 Illegals Released in Past 10 Months,” presenting a single figure without added detail.
The next page is news, and it just tells the latest news of things going on in the Trump administration, largely sourced to Fox News because, of course, they are.
Then we get to the third page called “LIVE” where all press briefings from anyone in the Trump inner circle, like Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Speaker Mike Johnson, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the president himself.
The fourth page on the app is “Social” and it includes a direct link via that ‘Get in touch’ you see above for users to send information to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) so they can continue their illegal rampage on people.
There is a pre-written message that shows up, saying, Great President Ever! in the one absolutely hilarious aspect of this whole thing.
This page also shows curated posts and updates tied to Trump, placing that reporting tool right next to political content.
Another page in the app focuses on money and prices. It highlights basic items like eggs, milk, bread, butter, and potatoes. The app shows lower prices for those items compared to a year ago.
The numbers line up with data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. One detail stands out. The milk data matches low-fat and skim categories, not whole milk, which dropped less over the same time.
The same page leaves out items that went up in price. Ground beef, coffee, and orange juice are not shown. Oil is also missing, even though prices have jumped by double-digit levels since late February, when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, killing nearly 200 little girls in an illegal war that violates multiple Amendments in the US Constitution.
The last page on The White House app just shows pictures of Trump and others. But mostly Trump, naturally.
