WASHINGTON – The White House removed the official texts of President Donald Trump’s general statements from its government site, to replace it with selected videos from its public manifestations.
Recently on Sunday, Trump’s sermons and comments still appear in The “statements” section From Whitehouse.gov. The next day, they went, Footage from the site From displaying the Internet archive. The only text that now appears is Trump’s opening title on January 20.
A White House official said the government photographers are still registering and copying Trump’s statements. But in changing domestic politics in recent days, the White House has dropped the texts in favor of sound and videos for its manifestations.
The official said that the idea is that people will get a complete and more accurate feeling than Trump by watching and listening to it instead of reading a copy, which they may not tend to do anyway. The official said that the purification of texts and the transition to the sound and video of Trump’s statements was aimed at creating “consistency” through the site.
“In an attempt to preserve the consistency, the previous texts that were available and replaced with the sound and visual components of that text,” said the official, talking about not revealing his identity. “The White House continues to work to download many general links made by the president and will continue to ensure that the site consists of full and complete representation of the general comments of the president.”
In a statement, White House press secretary Caroline Levit said: “The president’s statements are living on the website of every person in the world, including journalists, to reach themselves.
Meanwhile, the office of Vice Vice President JD Vance continues to announce The texts of his notes, and send them to the media. Since last month, the Fannce Office has participated with eight texts with journalists, including his comments at a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, a letter he gave American manufacturing and another who participated in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
When he was asked why Vans took out the official texts while Trump was not, Vans’s office rejected the comment.
Historians and former White House officials condemned the move to get rid of the general texts that have long been the final record of what the president says in public places.
“I and the telecommunications team will see this,” said Barbara Perry, co -chair of the Presidential History Program at Miller at the University of Virginia.
“It is not good for history, which they may not care about, but they are interested in how he looks at history. Second, they should also realize that his style of communication and its material is the one who won the presidency twice.”
The general text also provides some protection for Trump if he feels wrong or misunderstood. It can refer to the document to settle the case.
The texts that come out of the White House sometimes have become points of disagreement. Days before the 2024 elections, President Joe Biden made a comment that appears to be bothering voters Trump.
A comedy speaking at the Trump gathering indicated to Puerto Rico as a “floating garbage island”.
Speaking to a Latin audience, Biden said, “The only garbage that I see is floating there is his supporters.” This comment was the ability to alienate millions of voters on the eve of the elections and may harm the chances of the democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.
However, the Biden Press office changed a copy of the photographer’s copy, instead issued a document that changed the meaning of his observations, adding a quote until the quote read “Moayad” – a clear signal to the comedy who made the statement, according to R.It is the Associated Press.
“President Barack Obama has mistakenly used the word” abortion “in an interview when he was supposed to say,” deviation “, and he is a photographer in the White House during his presidency and in the first two months of Trump’s recent state. Stein said that Obama’s aides reported Obama’s mistakes With a little errors, but the version was allowed to stand.
In another version, President George W. Bush talked about how “in 2007.Children learn When the standards are high and measure the results. “The official text, changed the word to” children “. The White House insisted that it did not request the amendment and was changed to Bush’s actual words.
The Stein League said that the blocking of the texts “seems not really responsible and a self -wound.” “With a copy he can say,” this is exactly what I said. “
She added: “How many times in the press briefing room that someone says,” President Obama said this, and the press secretary will say, “No, he did not. Check the text?” Now, there is no way for anyone to check the text. ”
Others asked about the logical basis of the White House official. The real motivation may be that repeated tramp – which he calls.weaveCritics said, ” – it can explode like moisture in a written form.
“The White House did not want” the open “weaving.
The last presidential event was copied and shown in public more than two months ago – an oval office meeting with NATO Secretary -General Mark Retty.
Although some of Trump’s manifestations are available on the White House, many of them are not.
The site displays 10 videos in April, including events with the football team at Ohio State University, the baseball team in Los Angeles Dodgers, the Football team in Philadelphia Eagles, Italian and Norwegian ministers.
Video clips of more than twenty events appear last month. Among them is an oval office meeting on April 14 with the President of El Salvador Nayeb Bokil, who accepts immigrants who were deported from the United States and put them in the Aqsa Security Prison. At the meeting, Trump said he wanted Boukley as possible as possible as possible. “
Also missing videos of various Trump interactions with the media. There is no record, for example, about questions and answers with correspondents on April 17, which covers issues involved in Florida State University (“Venice does not do shooting;” People do that, “he said) and put out of taxes at Harvard University (” I think Harvard is banana.
This month, the White House website posted 11 video clip of Trump’s appearances. This represents less than half of the questions and answers sessions with the media and other events in which Trump has participated so far.
The remaining events include a meeting with the new Prime Minister in Canada, Mark Carney, who embraced Trump’s interest in making Canada in the state 51.
“Canada will not be for sale,” Carney said.
The previous white houses routinely published the official texts of the president’s statements. In fact, in the first four months of Trump’s first state, the White House published more than 100 copies of its observations. On the contrary, in the new Trump period, the White House was only published 30 before it disappeared.
The Stein League said that in the beginning of the first period of Trump, the new president’s assistants were cautious about the photographer’s legion. The Stein League said that one of the former press officers said that the photographers were putting the microphones very close to Trump’s face and that he did not like it.
“At that time, there was a overwhelming feeling of confidence,” she said in an interview. “They really felt that we extended to the press rather than protection.”
