Trump administration shuts down White House Spanish-language page and social media
Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, his administration took down the Spanish version of the official White House website.
This idiot seems to be oblivious to the fact that there is no official language in the US, that several US states have Spanish as a defacto co-official language, that Spanish has been spoken in many parts of the US for longer than English, and that there are approx. 60.000.000 Spanish speakers in the US.
A problem here is that since he can't be re-elected, he doesn't have to care about popularity, except for his ego trips.

It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. "Small government and low taxes" but when you want to triple the size of ICE and institute historic tariffs (aka taxes) it's OK. "Party of law and order" but when you don't let asylum seekers into the country- overtly breaking US law, it's OK. "The constitution is sacred" but when you sign an executive order that explicitly contradicts the 14th amendment- it's OK.
Nothing matters. There is no consistency whatsoever. There doesn't need to be. The more disjointed, the better. You make people so disoriented that they'll accept anything.
He can barely speak English.
It’s not as if the conservative native Spanish speakers that voted him in were using it for anything.
The Biden website was essentially just archived and the new administration is working on building up the site. This isn't something specific, almost all the old website links are broken.
“It’s day two. We are in the process of developing, editing and tweaking the White House website. As part of this ongoing work, some of the archived content on the website went dormant. We are committed to reloading that content in a short timeline,” -Harrison Fields
Everything is archived here: https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/
So the Trump team didn't have even a WIP site to replace as fast as possible the old site?
That's the part where I'm divided. On the one hand, I understand that they basically have to strip the website down to the basic foundation then rebuild it. On the other hand... I'm not entirely sold that when it returns it will have all of the things it once had. Only time will tell I guess.

If you have any belief that any of this stuff will be returning, I have beachfront property on Mars that you may be interested in.
Yeah, I mean every administration rebuilds the entire website after inauguration. I think it's telling, though, that they didn't have the full website ready to go.
There's also https://eotarchive.org.
Remember his Spanish campaign ads?
All these lightning round decisions, I find myself asking, "How does this help anyone?"
Ay caramba!
At least the accessibility page is still up. Oh, wait.
