This is what the White House thinks the average American scraping by gives a shit about?

A filthy old rapist that stole the election and is destroying the constitution while privatizing the army (ice) at your tax dollars expense, who’s been caught cheating at golf just like everything in his life?

Are his bone spurs still an issue or has he matured out of that now that he can’t be conscripted into the army?

Maybe the White House will update the public on that as well.

What a joke America has become, and so quickly.

No. Much of what the current administration does is to feed Trump's ego. This isn't aimed at the public. It's aimed at Trump himself. Look at the way world leaders are dealing with Trump. In Ukraine, they've switched from "many civilians are dying because an expansionist power is invading a sovereign European nation" to "Putin is mocking you". They know Trump is much more likely to respond to attacks to his ego than appeals to his humanity.
