The Trump administration is attempting to tout its record with regard to agriculture, but has chosen a very unusual way to do so by launching a new website with a title mimicking one of the internet’s most popular locations for adult content, drawing criticism and mockery online.
White House parodies OnlyFans for farm policy webpage
On Friday, the White House posted a message on social media asking, “Curious how American farmers are benefiting right now — or exactly how much each state has saved?” The post features a link, ONLYFARMS.GOV, and is accompanied by a picture of a tractor and farmland; the image has an OnlyFarms logo, with a drawing of the White House inside the O and the tagline “Delivering for Farmers & Rural America.” The name of the site and the font of the stylized logo are clear references to the adult-content website OnlyFans.
The link redirects to the agriculture page of whitehouse.gov, which features images of President Donald Trump and lists various accomplishments the administration claims with regard to farmers. “President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) made the virtual elimination of the death tax permanent, benefiting more than 2 million family farms,” reads the page, followed by a discussion of various tax breaks given to farmers through Trump’s signature 2025 legislation, as well as claims that the administration has enacted other cost-saving and export-promoting policies for farmers.
Criticism of OnlyFarms and Trump’s track record on agriculture
The White House’s choice to tout its record on agriculture via an OnlyFans parody left some people scratching their heads and others critical of the choice.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., whose X, formerly Twitter, profile describes him as a “U.S. Representative KY4, Engineer, Farmer, Inventor. 30 patents. Appalachian American,” took issue with the post, writing, “Can you arrest Epstein’s co-conspirators instead of riffing on a porn site?” Massie has broken with the Trump administration in the past over the Epstein files.
The social media account of California Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s office, which regularly ridicules Trump, posted, “The White House spent more time launching a parody porn website than lowering your gas prices this week.”
Independent journalist Chris Brunet mentioned that if he were a farmer, he “would feel like this administration was spitting in my face.”
Some suggested alternative, equally suggestive names for the website. “You just could have named it CornHub,” Shoshana Weissmann, the digital director and policy advisor at the Abundance Institute, a Utah-based nonprofit focusing on shaping the cultural environment and policy related to emerging technologies.
Trump’s unusual online attempt to shore up his record on farming coincided with a Friday event in which hundreds of farmers from across the country were brought to the White House to listen to the president extol his record for them. Trump praised a $12 billion bailout for farmers issued last year and promised additional benefits, such as easing various environmental regulations. The push to strengthen Trump’s support among farmers comes as many of them have been hurt by his policies, including tariffs that have harmed American exports of agricultural products and the war in Iran, which has raised the prices of fuel and fertilizer. A majority of farmers responding to a recent Farm Journal survey reported that they were either “much worse off” or “somewhat worse off” than they were a year ago.
With Trump’s policies causing financial harm to one of his key constituencies, the president seems desperate to reframe his administration as beneficial to farmers. To do so, the White House is parodying a site famous for pornography. Based on online reactions, many are taking this move to be unserious, distracting, or insulting to farmers and to the public in general.
