The official White House account on X Thursday posted a photo of President Trump walking away from the Marine One helicopter with the caption: “He is Him.” Some viewers, including conservatives, interpreted the caption as a comparison to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to simply as ‘He’ in the New Testament.
[NOTE: A popular post during Easter is “He is risen.”]
Conservative Ed Whelan, who served as deputy assistant attorney general during the George W. Bush administration, responded to the post: “Blasphemous or inane (or both).”
[NOTE: Whelan, a Catholic, served as the president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a conservative think tank “dedicated to applying the Judeo-Christian moral tradition to critical issues of public policy.” Fellow conservative Tom Nichols, a former Naval War College political science professor, reposted Whelan’s comment.]
Former U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) replied to the White House post: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7.”
When an X user asked Grok “what does this account mean by stating ‘He is Him.’?”, the AI bot provided a different take, describing the language as internet meme slang.
Grok responded: “‘He is Him’ is current internet slang (big in sports, memes, gaming, and TikTok) meaning someone is *the* guy — the real deal, the ultimate version of themselves, the one who embodies power/excellence in that moment or role. The White House post pairs it with the photo of Trump striding confidently off Marine One to hype him as that iconic leader figure. It’s playful meme-speak for ‘This is the man.’”
