The official social media handles of the White House, including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) shared cryptic pixelated images on Thursday, March 26. This comes after a series of cryptic posts on Wednesday, including shaky video, a 4-second clip of a woman's shoe, and an iPhone message tone sound video. 

Today, the White House posted several pixelated images that have puzzled followers and users amid the ongoing war with Iran. One of them resembles US President Donald Trump. The video and pixelated images posted by the White House on Thursday afternoon created confusion among netizens and demanded that it focus on real issues rather than social media puzzles.

What Did the White House Post?

The White House posted pixelated photos and a video. One of the pixelated images depicts US President Donald Trump. Images were learned to be intentionally blurred and distorted. The post follows a series of cryptic social media posts from the White House since Wednesday.

The White House first posted three pixelated images back to back and then a video with an emoji of a shushing face. The 0.7-second clip with music in the background and on-screen text reads, "PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP" with White House sketch.

On Wednesday, the White House first posted two 4-second unexplained videos to its official X and Instagram accounts, later deleted the first clip and left a second glitch-style video live.

In a video posted after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, a woman's voice was heard saying, "It's launching soon, right?" Then another voice is heard partially answering, "Yes." The video camera was aimed toward the floor, pointed shoes were visible and the on-screen text reads, "sound on."

Neither any official from the White House nor any official clarified or explained posts on Wednesday. It is also not confirmed whether it was posted intentionally or mistakenly. How Did Netizens React?

Users got furious and confused as on the second consecutive day, the White House shared such posts. An X user said, , “Americans are dying in war, and you are sending cryptic tweets. THIS ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE, DRUMPF!!!!!” A third user wrote, “I’VE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Another social media user said, "Most unserious administration in history." Some users predict there will be an 'exciting' announcement tomorrow (Saturday, March 28).

Meanwhile, Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr reacted to the post on X with an eye emoji and another emoji resembling a purple monster or alien.

Homeland DemsX account responded to the image with another pixilated image. Juanita Broaddrick, who accused former President Bill Clinton of rape, responded to the post on X, saying, "Do you know what the message is??"
