US EditionWhite House Staffer Runs Massive Pro-Trump X Account
Garrett Wade, a White House rapid response manager, runs Johnny MAGA, a 280,000-follower pro-Trump account amplifying administration messages without disclosing ties, raising ethical concerns.
- On Wednesday, WIRED reported that one of Garrett Wade's phone numbers was linked to the Johnny MAGA X account, and the outlet said Wade appears to run the account.
- Created in January 2021, the Johnny MAGA account pushed far-right, pro-Trump content through 2022 and the 2024 election, with Wired reporting it seemed "like an independent voice" boosting Trump's Truth Social posts.
- With nearly 300,000 followers, the account runs scheduled pro-Trump posts with a sentimental tone and heart emojis praising the president, his family, and style.
- The disclosure prompted criticism and debate, as Wired reported Wade did not disclose a White House connection, with Wade and the administration not publicly confirming the link.
- The phenomenon echoes past examples, where use of "sock puppets" to simulate support has historical precedent like Fox News, while Trump administration influencer outreach blurs official and partisan lines.
