'So Cringe': White House's 'Planemaxxing' Post Sends Critics Into A Tailspin

The Trump White House’s “Planemaxxing” post on X had critics cringing into their tray tables.

The White House shared a photo of Trump on the steps of Air Force One with the word, “Planemaxxing,” using the internet slang suffix “-maxxing,” often used to describe the optimization of something.

It then added: “Say less.”

Its very online spin on why the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One — which Donald Trump only flew for the first time earlier this month — is being taken out of service for more upgrades (Trump has boasted about it being “maxed out”) was widely mocked as “embarrassing” and worse.

See. They had an embarrassing story about the shitty plane, so they double down like it’s awesome https://t.co/BuvQUsU6EB

American service members are dying in a war you still don’t know the reason for, and he’s posting about planemaxxing his jet from Qatar. https://t.co/aBWrXf2Mye

Agreed, Trump should say less to stop embarrassing the United Stares

Trump and his Administration are “planemaxxing” while the American people are maxing out their credit cards to afford the rising costs created by his failed war in Iran. https://t.co/bP6o2pkbff
