Overview

• On July 10–11, the official White House social media team posted an edited image casting President Trump as Superman on Facebook, X, Instagram, and Truth Social.
• The meme directly adapts James Gunn’s new film promotional artwork and invokes the classic motto “The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way.”
• Social media users questioned the professionalism and legitimacy of the White House account after the unconventional post appeared.
• Critics seized on the image to call for publication of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged client list, with one user declaring it the president’s “kryptonite.”
• Only a few supporters, including former Superman actor Dean Cain, reacted positively as the White House declined to provide further explanation.
