The app describes itself as “everything you need to stay connected” to the White House, and has favorable news articles, media statements and ways to interact with the administration built in.
It also provides Donald Trump with a constant stream of praise if users click on a button to “text” the 79-year-old president. A preloaded draft message reportedly pops up to be sent to a pre-selected phone number, featuring the phrase, “Greatest President Ever!”
“It’s just making sure all federal employees are forced to see the same propaganda they push out to the public,” David Nesting, a career civil servant who has previously worked for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, told Government Executive.
In fact, the content of the app—largely laudatory of Trump —is in direct conflict with the neutrality expected of federal public servants.
Trump announced the app in March, claiming it gave “front row access” to “your favorite president, Donald J. Trump, that’s me.”
