As Donald Trump and Elon Musk prepare to bring their next round of arbitrary cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it seems like at least one employee is making their displeasure known. On Monday morning, the first day of the Trump administration’s “return to office” ban on remote work, employees at HUD were greeted by a feat of digital protest — or a “foot” of one.
According to videos and photos circulated on social media, televisions at HUD’s central office in Washington, D.C., were hijacked to play an AI-generated video of Trump making sweet, sloppy oral love to Musk’s bare feet. The words “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING” were emblazoned over the visual, likely a reference to recent posts from Trump and the White House describing the president as “the king.”
Wait you display the portrait of the president in government offices? Like in North Korea? HA
Not exactly. Usually there’s one board in each building that has the whole chain of command. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/9lY058X.jpeg
That’s for the military, for civilian organizations it looks similar but with people in business suits.
Well Canada still puts the monarch up in their gov’t offices.
As someone from Romania, who had that policy as well during communist times, I can say that I find that very weird as well. It’s just cult of personality and it irks me.
Yeah, it’s pretty gross. I grew up outside D.C. and our public school system had portraits of the President and Vice President prominently displayed on either side of the wall clock at the main entrance to the school. No clue if that’s still policy.
