If you follow even a single new account on X today, let it be Rapid Response 47!
President Trump has spent nearly a decade as a candidate and as President communicating directly with the American people, oftentimes to counter false narratives from the mainstream media.
Trump’s new administration has continuously adopted new modes of communication through various channels to ensure that its message meets people where they are.
The White House Rapid Response page describes itself as the “Official Rapid Response account of the Trump 47 White House. Supporting POTUS’s America First agenda and holding the Fake News accountable. MAGA!”
When visiting the page, users will enjoy accurate information straight from the source. Additionally, those perpetuating falsehoods to fit their political agenda are corrected in real-time.
On Friday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, falsely claimed on X that President Trump’s federal employee hiring freeze included air traffic controllers.
This attempt to place blame on Trump for the tragic aircraft collision at Reagan International Airport was quickly debunked by the Rapid Response page and a community note from users on X.
“Wrong. Federal air traffic controllers are EXEMPT from the hiring freeze. Stop lying.” Rapid Response 47 wrote.
In a follow-up post, Crockett claimed that the crash happened because Trump planned to cut members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee.
Rapid Response 47 shared the post and corrected the record, noting that the committee was “a group of business and union leaders who give ‘advice’ to the TSA and have nothing to do with actual air travel.”
The page again told Crockett to “stop lying and fearmongering.”
Later in the day, the page responded to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., after he called on supporters to fight Trump’s agenda “in the streets.”
The page tagged Jeffries in a post that included a press release from the White House that asked, “Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?”
The page also shares important government actions and clips from press briefings in various departments throughout the Trump administration.
