President Trump has not officially banned the word "criminal" in the White House, despite a false publication that is being used to promote a pump-and-dump cryptocurrency scam. Although the social network explained the situation, U.S. internet users have taken the opportunity to criticize Trump’s policies, particularly on immigration and gender diversity, as well as to recall the criminal charges he faced in 2023.
A statement allegedly issued by the White House began circulating on social media, prohibiting the use of the word "criminal" within the Oval Office. Despite the controversy generated, the authenticity of the request was questioned. The document, dated February 14 and supposedly signed by President Trump, indicated that no one in the White House could use the word "criminal" under penalty of being expelled or disciplined.
However, although the letter was circulated and commented on by internet users, the U.S. government did not issue any official statement regarding the matter. On the other hand, the social network explained that the document was false and related to a cryptocurrency scam.
A quote from a Twitter user highlighting the situation: "The thin-skinned president, convicted of rape... released a memo threatening anyone who calls him a criminal or says the word criminal in the White House or on his grounds. The rapist’s memo is expected soon."
In summary, there is no official prohibition of the word "criminal" in the White House by Trump, and the publication that circulated about it turned out to be false and linked to a cryptocurrency scam.
