Trump White House Puts ‘Absolutely Disgusting’ Spin On Viral Jet2 Holiday Meme

President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa in the Oval Office of the White House, Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in Washington.The Trump White House sparked criticism on Tuesday for hijacking a viral TikTok meme to promote its anti-immigration agenda.The video showed people in chains being escorted onto airplanes for what looked like their removal from the United States. It was set to the upbeat soundtrack of a 2022 commercial for British tour operator Jet2 in which voice actor Zoe Lister says “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” over Jess Glynne’s hit song “Hold My Hand.”The audio of the ad has gone viral in recent months with people using it to ironically highlight their vacation disasters on social media.But the White House’s use of the cheerful soundtrack drew swift backlash.The caption on its post read: “When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!”See the post here.Jet2 did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.Social media users, though, condemned the post as “absolutely disgusting” and more.Disgusting.— Jason Bennett Actors’ Studio (@JBActors) July 30, 2025@jet2tweets y’all ok with this?— Kate Ross (@kate_ross_) July 29, 2025Related...Trump's Shifting Explanations Are Prolonging The Epstein Scandal He Wants To EndThe Internet Is Losing It Over A Video Of Trump Being Drowned Out By Bagpipes In ScotlandTrump Implies Epstein Poached Virginia Giuffre From Mar-A-Lago Spa
