As soon as the official White House website changed hands to the Trump administration on Jan. 20, a page on the site explaining the judicial branch as part of "our government" was removed. It was restored on Monday morning.

Following reports over the weekend that Customs and Border Patrol officers had defied federal judges’ orders not to detain permanent legal residents affected by President Donald Trump’s immigration order, several Twitter users noted an ominous omission from the White House website:

How long will it stay up?

2. It's an optional branch. Called in if and when it is needed. nt

3. Next to go...

Is any reference to Clinton or Obama in the overview of all presidents.

4. Heck, there were no Jews in the Holocaust.

I wouldn't put it past them

5. I can't believe...

That Trump double downed on why they didn't include any mention of Jews in that statement. Imagine a world where Obama did that.

6. One report is that they edited Obama's bio

And pretty much cut out his second term:
Obama bio on Whitehouse.gov has been messed with- http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028504438

For the REAL White House website see: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/

8. No - check that other thread

Compare what is on now to what is on the archived Obama White House page. I posted the original paragraphs in the thread I linked.

12. I think you are comparing two different parts of the website

On the archived Obama website, there are two separate pages with Obama bios. One is under "The Administration" -- that's the longer one you linked to. The other, under "1600 Penn" is a shorter version. The only one on the new Trump white house website, is the one under 1600 Penn, and it appears to be the same as the one in the archived Obama site. The longer version, under Administration, has, not surprisingly, been replaced by a Trump bio.

9. That was on purpose

so that the idiot has no one to perform checks & balances on him and no one to override his executive decisions.
