The Trump administration’s recent social media post has drawn criticism. When the White House official account shared a video featuring their interpretation of the Jet2 Christmas craze, the backlash began. Netizens quickly took to the Internet to criticize the message, calling it utterly repulsive.
Over the past few months, the Jet2 vacation craze has gone viral on the internet. The popular audio has been used by social media users to share heartbreaking experiences from their trips.
The audio is taken from a 2022 commercial for the British trip operator Jet2. Actress Zoe Lister is heard on the clip saying, “There’s nothing better than a Jet2 vacation.” The song “Hold My Hand” by Jess Glynne begins to play in the background.
The White House’s official X account, which was once known as Twitter, posted its thoughts on the trend on the social media site. In the footage, ICE agents were seen loading immigrants from vans onto aircraft that would take them abroad.
A screen grab of the US government app CBP Home appears at the conclusion of the film. Immigrants can use the app to self-deport in accordance with official regulations. The video is already improper, but it becomes even more so when the President makes an appearance.
