- White House insiders have described a chaotic mood, with several sending memes to Politico depicting a sense of disarray and exasperation within the administration.
- The week began with the United States imposing a blockade on Iranian ports following the collapse of peace talks, which Vice President JD Vance attributed to Tehran's failure to commit against nuclear weapon development.
- Donald Trump sparked controversy by sharing and later deleting an AI-generated image of himself resembling a Jesus-like figure, further escalating his public feud with Pope Leo XIV, whom he criticised as “WEAK”.
- Amidst these events, Trump held an impromptu press conference with a DoorDash delivery person at the White House, using the opportunity to promote his proposed “no tax on tips” policy.
- White House spokeswoman Allison Schuster dismissed Politico's report, stating that “No one cares about Politico’s collection of anonymously sourced memes” and highlighting the administration's focus on its agenda.
