Trump Administration Doubles Down On Cruel 'Franklin' Posts Despite Publisher Criticism [View all]

The Trump administration isn’t retreating into its shell after the publisher of the beloved children’s book series “Franklin the Turtle” knocked officials’ “unauthorized” use of the cartoon reptile.

In a post to X on Thursday, the Justice Department urged “patriotic legal professionals” to apply to become “deportation judges,” adding that their work “will have generational consequences.”

The DOJ post included an illustrated cover of a fake book titled “Franklin Becomes A Deportation Judge” that showed the fictional turtle wearing a white wig and a judge’s robe and holding a gavel in his hand.

Last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted an apparently AI-generated cover of a book titled “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists” on social media. The cover featured Franklin in a helicopter and apparently firing missiles at drug boats, making light of the administration’s boat strike scandal.
