Jen Psaki Throws Hilarious Shade at Trump After GOP Senator Complains Biden's Tweets Are 'Unimaginably Conventional'

Jen Psaki Throws Hilarious Shade at Trump After GOP Senator Complains Biden's Tweets Are 'Unimaginably Conventional'
C-SPAN

A defining aspect of former President Donald Trump's tenure in the White House was his use of social media—especially Twitter.

Tweeting or retweeting dozens or even hundreds of times a day, the former President would use his allotted 280 characters to announce firings, berate his enemies, or amplify conspiracy theories, especially regarding the lie that the 2020 election was "stolen" by Democrats, whom he claimed orchestrated widespread election fraud.


After these lies prompted a mob of his extremist supporters to storm the United States Capitol in hopes of upending the joint congressional session acknowledging now-President Joe Biden's victory, Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and remains indefinitely banned from Facebook and Instagram.

Since then, Trump has begun issuing would-be tweets as official statements from the "Office of the 45th President." Meanwhile, President Joe Biden's tweets are far less off-the-cuff and almost universally stick to promoting his policies and broadcasting his victories.

Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn highlighted this by quoting a piece from Politico about the Biden White House's media strategy.



Cornyn highlighted the oxymoronic claim that Biden's tweets are "unimaginably conventional," which was decried by many as the mistaken belief that a President's Twitter account should be a form of entertainment, rather than an arm of political messaging.

At a daily White House press briefing on Monday, press secretary Jen Psaki was asked about Cornyn's tweet.

Psaki said in response to the sentiment:

"I can confirm that the President of the United States does not spend his time tweeting conspiracy theories. He spends his time working on behalf of the American people."

Cornyn later emphasized that he was only highlighting excerpts of the Politico article.

All the same, social media users hailed Psaki's answer.




Meanwhile, the "unimaginably conventional" quip earned widespread backlash.





By and large, Americans seem content not worrying about the President's Twitter timeline being unimaginably erratic.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
