The removal of some Taylor Swift songs from social media videos posted by President Donald Trump's campaign and the White House coincided with outrage over the Republican administration’s use of Spider-Man in a recent propaganda post.

The White House and a representative for Taylor Swift did not immediately respond to requests for comment, leaving fans and Americans wondering whether it was the pop star who asked the White House to remove her songs.

Meanwhile, a large number of people have urged Marvel Studios to sue the White House for using Spider-Man for propaganda.

Fans expressed outrage after the White House’s Instagram account recently shared a post featuring Spider-Man as an ICE agent.

The first photo in the White House’s carousel post shows a web slinging out of Spider-Man’s hand. The next two only show the web, before the last picture features a line of people caught in the web.

“Criminal illegal aliens will be caught and deported,” reads the text on the last photo.

The post was shared with the caption: “Your friendly neighborhood ICE agents.”

Commenting on the post a user wrote, “They need to sue you for this.”

Mentioning Marvel in the comments, one user wrote, “Please sue the s*** out of them.”

“This is unacceptable. sue please,” wrote another.

Most of the superhero fans lashed out at the White House and the Trump administration, saying Spider-Man will never support the post.

However, Marvel Studios has not commented on the White House’s use of Spider-Man.

Some fans think the White House should take a cue from the recent development which saw Swift’s songs removed from the White House and Trump campaign posts.

They say Marvel Studios should at least ask privately for removal of the Spider-Man post if they’re not willing to get involved in a public spat with the White House.
