MAGA influencers are now receiving their own dedicated press briefings at Donald Trump’s White House, drawing strong backlash on social media.
The sessions, led by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, have been widely slammed as fawning displays of pro-Trump propaganda.
Clips from the briefings ― in which the conservative influencers have echoed Trump talking points and heaped praise on his administration ― have gone viral online.
Critics have compared the scenes to parody sketches from “Saturday Night Live.”
“Just a straight-up cult,” one commenter wrote.
Others labeled the events “straight-up propaganda” and “so humiliating.”
This event is insane by itself, but she actually said in her q that Trump has a historic approval rating?? He just set an 80 year record for LOW approval 100 days in. Just a straight up cult. https://t.co/FGt972yIqE
— Mac (@GoodPoliticGuy) April 29, 2025This is straight up propaganda. It is a dog and pony show. Just an echo chamber of approval with no regard for the truth or reality.
— Timothy Bellman (@Timothy_Bellman) April 29, 2025Wait is this just straight up state run media disguised as a press briefing?
— david & the berschtones (blue checkmark, saved $8) (@theberschtones) April 29, 2025Is the director on the set ? They all look like actors.
— Hiking Fellina - 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧 (@StKytti) April 29, 2025I know we’re all numb to the lunacy…but a press briefing where all the questions are how great King Tango is & how America worships him is…pretty out here! This would have been satire not so long ago. https://t.co/3Nju6NOZCH
— Tom Jamieson (@jamiesont) April 30, 2025They're not even trying to hide the propaganda lmfao... Even a MAGA voter could see through this.
— Oyko (@OykoGN) April 29, 2025What would MAGA’s response be if the last administration broadcasted an exclusive left wing influencer WH briefing?
— R. Saoirse (@razzli_) April 29, 2025Is it for real? Can they do the briefing only for a certain group of reporters?
