The Trump Halo Memes Aren't Supposed To Make SenseThere’s a theory that started on Bluesky a month ago from composer Patrick Cosmos that everyone in the US government is 12 now.

I had a little laugh at this theory but didn’t think about it too seriously until this weekend, when several government social media accounts got really into Halo.
