The Trump White House joined Bluesky in October 2025, quickly becoming the platform’s second most-blocked account with over 92,000 blocks, trailing only Vice President JD Vance who has accumulated 166,000 blocks since June[1].
The White House’s debut post featured a 52-second video montage of President Trump’s “greatest hits” since returning to office, including clips mocking political opponents[2]. The administration’s arrival on Bluesky was particularly notable as the platform had become a haven for Trump critics and left-leaning users who fled X (formerly Twitter) after the 2024 election[2:1].
For comparison, Bluesky’s most followed accounts paint a different picture of the platform’s user base:
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 2.17 million followers
- Mark Cuban: 1.49 million followers
- Mark Hamill: 1.31 million followers[1:1]
weird… i went to one and saw none of that… i saw a lot of performative demonstrating with signs about cheeto king and blue waves. I saw a handful of Free Palestine signs and some flags. I didn’t see anyone with anything from the PSL or DSA. Maybe I missed it, it was a couple thousand people probably, but if they were there they were not prominent.
To be fair, 50501 chapters can vary a lot city to city. I’m in a red city but our organizers are very left so we use the platform to push leftism. It isn’t like that everywhere though. Also we did a rally with speakers and tables, some places are just people holding signs with no agenda. It’s a grassroots thing so depends a lot who decided to organize it in your area.
