"Static Noise, 'It Will Be Revealed Soon'": The Truth Behind the White House's Mysterious Videos

Teaser Videos for the Official White House App Launch
Controversy Grows Over Unexplained Clips Amid Ongoing Conflict

Recently, the mysterious videos posted on the official social networking service (SNS) accounts of the White House were revealed to be teasers for the launch of the White House’s official application (app).

The White House posted a video containing only a short audio clip saying, "It's launching soon, right?" and "It will be revealed shortly." There was no explanation about the video, and the angle only showed the floor, as if it were filmed secretly. In fact, this video was deleted about an hour and a half after it was uploaded.

On March 27, the White House announced the release of its official app through its website. The White House stated, “U.S. President Donald Trump and the administration have launched an official mobile app to deliver information to the public more directly than ever before,” adding, “This app provides a channel for citizens to communicate directly with the White House, filters out unnecessary information, and delivers real-time updates directly from the White House.” This move is interpreted as a strategic effort to weaken the media’s intermediary role and to deliver messages directly to supporters.

The official app’s features include: breaking news alerts on major announcements, executive orders, and other core policies; live broadcasts of briefings, speeches, and historic moments; a diverse media library containing key scenes; the ability to check the latest policy achievements and changes; and the option to submit opinions and feedback directly.

Regarding this, CNBC in the United States reported, “The White House has launched an app that highlights President Trump’s second-term achievements and curates favorable news articles for users.” The report also noted, “At the bottom of the app’s ‘Social’ tab, there is a button that allows users to submit tips to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”

Additionally, CNBC pointed out, “Another page addresses rising prices, showing the prices of key groceries such as eggs, milk, bread, butter, and potatoes, emphasizing how much these items have decreased compared to the previous year. However, there is no mention of many other items whose prices have increased over the past year, such as ground beef, coffee, and orange juice. Notably, oil, which has seen a sharp price hike, is also omitted.”

Previously, through X (formerly Twitter), the White House posted a short video containing a static noise and the voice of a man mumbling. However, the audio was distorted and the content was unintelligible. When played in reverse, the mumbling male voice becomes clearer and can be heard saying, “There will be an interesting announcement tomorrow.” The White House did not provide any further explanation.

Following this, the White House posted a series of videos containing only short audio clips saying, “It’s launching soon, right?” and “It will be revealed soon.” Again, there was no explanation for these videos, and the framing showed only the floor, as if secretly filmed. In fact, one of these videos was deleted about an hour and a half after it was posted. Especially as the United States was engaged in ongoing military conflict with Iran at the time, the release of these “warning-style” videos led to widespread speculation online about possible hacking or an emergency situation, and the videos garnered more than 22 million views.
