White House Sparks Outrage With Donald Trump 'Superman' Post: 'Warner Bros PLEASE Sue'

The official White House Instagram account ignited a firestorm online after sharing a digitally altered image depicting President Donald Trump as Superman.

Fans, celebrities, and critics flooded social media to condemn the post, with many accusing the Donald Trump-aligned White House of copyright infringement and political propaganda.

The graphic, styled like a movie poster, shows Donald Trump in the Man of Steel’s iconic red-and-blue suit with the “S” emblem prominently displayed.

Above him reads the tagline, “A Trump Presidency”, while below are the words, “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” At the bottom, the title simply reads, “Superman” alongside the White House logo.

But the image quickly spiraled into controversy.

Actor Patrick Dougall, known for his role on "Young Sheldon," was among those calling for immediate legal action, writing, “Warner Bros, PLEASE sue.”

Others slammed the image as not just cringeworthy, but dangerous.

“The only superpower Trump has is committing felonies at the speed of light,” one user wrote.

“This isn’t just cringe. It’s cult-building 101,” another warned.

Many found the attempt to liken Trump to a superhero ironic, given his ongoing legal troubles and controversial political history.

“Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s Super Felon,” quipped one commenter.

“Who TF runs this account? The most lame sh-t on the daily,” another frustrated follower added.

The post has also fueled fresh concern about the increasing use of meme-style content by government-linked social media accounts, particularly those affiliated with Donald Trump and his digital team.

“Y’all are such a delulu cult,” one critic wrote.

“I can’t believe this is the country I live in,” another shared in disbelief.

"This is embarrassing, as our whole current administration is. What a joke," a third said. "I don't even recognize our country, but decorum and decency have definitely left the building!"

"This is so f-cking gross and pathetic. Just like Trump," someone else commented.

Days before the White House’s viral post depicting Donald Trump as "Superman," comments regarding the former president’s long-documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced.

The renewed attention comes in part from a moment during Trump’s presidency when he abruptly shut down a journalist for bringing up Epstein during a 2019 White House Cabinet meeting.

The reporter had attempted to ask Pam Bondi about Epstein when Donald Trump quickly cut in, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” he snapped, before scolding the press. “At a time like this, where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas, it just seems like a desecration.”

The moment, captured on video and widely circulated on social media, is continuing to make the rounds as critics slam the meme-style "Superman" post as tone-deaf and cult-like.

Some have even gone as far as to call the resurfacing of Epstein ties “Trump’s kryptonite.”

"The Epstein files are his kryptonite," one social media user wrote.

"Superman doesn’t protect pedos," another said.

Though Donald Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes, his 2002 quote about the disgraced financier continues to haunt him.

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump once told New York Magazine. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

The former president has since claimed the friendship ended years before Epstein’s 2008 conviction, but in the eyes of critics, the damage is already done.

Regarding the recent "Superman" post from The White House, it remains unclear whether Warner Bros., the owner of "Superman" and its associated trademarks, plans to take legal action over the unauthorized use of the character’s likeness. However, if the studio decides to respond, it could mark a rare intersection between Hollywood IP protection and presidential politics.
