‘Daddy’s home’: Trump admin joins Bluesky in force, cranks trolling up to 11

October 18, 2025 | | Print Article

Cranking the trolling to 11, President Donald Trump and his administration planted their flags in social media’s deep blue wilderness with a TDS-triggering highlight reel declaring, “Daddy’s Home.”

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and rebrand to X had been yet another prominent example of the “COEXIST” bumper sticker-bearing, so-called inclusive left behaving contrary to their touted ideals. With conservative censorship curbed on the platform, a sizable — and typically announced — exodus had allowed for the advancement of an echo chamber until Trump burst Bluesky’s bubble Friday.

“What’s up, Bluesky? We thought you might’ve missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you,” read a post from the official White House account on the platform. “Can’t wait to spend more quality time together!”

The caption appeared along with a video montage shy of a minute set to a remix of Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit In The Sky.” Glimpses of the White House “Presidential Walk of Fame,” Trump’s Middle East Peace Summit, AI images, and the Gulf of America were all included, along with bold letters declaring, “Daddy’s Home.”

Of course, the newly launched profile, which had already built a following of over 5,000 in under 24 hours, wasn’t alone in following Vice President J.D. Vance into the trolling trenches where he’d set up shop in June before promptly getting booted and reinstated.

Various executive branch departments had also endeavored to increase the administration’s outreach to those suffering from tolerance intolerance, like the State Department, which asserted, “We heard Bluesky is a great place to research visa revocations …” while sharing the president’s montage.

On its Bluesky account, the department had poked, “We heard this is a great place to have an open and honest dialogue, so we’re here to talk about how the Democrat shutdown is undermining our country on the world stage.”

Similarly, the War Department had shared, “The Department of War is now on Bluesky!” as it had posted, “THE MOST POWERFUL MILITARY IN THE WORLD IS NOW ON BLUESKY. Hey [Sen. Chuck Schumer] — maybe it’s time you thank PRESIDENT TRUMP and SECRETARY OF WAR PETE HEGSETH for making sure EVERY military kid still has health care during your Democrat Shutdown.”

Hello, Bluesky!

We heard this is a great place to have an open and honest dialogue, so we’re here to talk about how the Democrat shutdown is undermining our country on the world stage.

Along with posts that varied in their level of leftist antagonization from the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Health and Human Services, Interior, Labor and Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security had its own fun on the platform where New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) reigned as the most followed account.

“We hear we’re VERY POPULAR on Bluesky! (many people are saying) … PATRIOTS! We must work together and appeal to their patriotic spirit and ask for a hand in stopping the Democrats’ government shutdown,” DHS posted with a video of Bluesky CEO Lantian “Jay” Graber claiming “Bluesky’s for everyone” in response to whether Trump was welcome.

While the denizens of the online version of CHAZ varied in their levels of meltdown — *Warning: Language* — supporters of the administration on X were simply thrilled to see it happen.
