It seems the White House’s social media team just reads the headlines.
On Sunday, @Rapid Response 47 — an official X account for President Donald Trump’s administation — retweeted a Daily Mail article that boasted the headline “Trump critic Bruce Springsteen and stony faced celebs watch US Open final after POTUS triumphantly greets crowd.”
“Oh no! How will we ever recover from the pathetic (but hilarious) crying of Loser Bruce Springsteen and Newly Unemployed Stephen Colbert? 😱,” the account quote-tweeted in response.
The problem is, if one were to — oh, we don’t know, click on the article and read it — it becomes immediately clear that the Daily Mail headline is a bit of a stretch.
The piece mainly lists all the celebrities and public figures who attended Sunday’s U.S. Open men’s final, in which Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz defeated Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
