      pathetic fascist sympathizers, so they can get the news straight from the horse’s ass

      Screenshot of three 5-star reviews of the White House app: "Amazing App - This app absolutely highlights the greats that our amazing president Trump has done for our country. All of the features in the app are all clean and all the tabs are organized." "Well done! - As a Canadian I like to open this app and pretend I live in the 51st state of the greatest country on planet earth." "Thank you USA - All real iranian people appreciate USA.KingRezaPahlavi"

    And this is why you should never install anything from this administration.

    Not to excuse this app, but unless any app is from a trusted source I think it’s safe to assume all your data is being sold off.

      In a functional US, the official app from the head of the executive branch would be trustworthy.

      But that’s in a functional US.

        Nah, I wouldn’t download an app from the Biden Admin either, nor Obama admin.

        Hell, Obama was the one that extended the “Patriot” Act…
