In 2000, President Bill Clinton made an “Internet Address” celebrating new changes to the White House website that his administration launched just a few years earlier. Intended to be a source of government information for Americans and a connection to the White House from their homes, Clinton stressed that leaders have the responsibility to use tools like the website “to expand the reach of democracy.”

“We’ve made the website a permanent part of the Executive Office of the President, so that future presidents will be able to change it to suit their needs as easily as they can change the furniture here in the Oval Office,” Clinton said.

Twenty-five years later, President Donald Trump has done far more than just swap out the furniture, and the sound of construction is not unusual on White House grounds. The aggressive remodel has extended online, where the second Trump administration has transformed the government website into a tool to troll Democrats.

Now, a timer on the White House website tracks how long “Democrats Have Shut Down the Government” down to the second, even as Senate Democrats joined with Republicans on Monday to advance a funding measure. A “mysafespace” webpage, in the style of the early 2000s site MySpace, mocks Democrats and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, dubbing him “Sombrero Guy” and “Dollar Store Obama,” while claiming his heroes are “transnational gangs, illegal immigrants” and radical leftists.

And amid public outrage over Trump’s demolition of the East Wing for his new ballroom, the administration has added several controversial, and in some cases mischaracterized, intervals to a timeline of White House construction.

“We use it to really drive a message,” a White House official said.
