President Donald Trump invited Zeek Arkham, a former NYPD officer and podcaster, to attend a White House reception in honor of National Black History Month.
Arkham shared the invitation on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday, which read: “The President requests the pleasure of your company at a reception in honor of National Black History Month to be held at The White House on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at one-thirty o’clock.”
In his post, Arkham expressed his surprise at the journey that led to this moment. He reflected on starting his X account to share his perspective, never expecting it to gain traction. He thanked God for the opportunity, saying, “I just hope I do right with it.” Arkham also shared an emotional phone call with his mother, who was moved to tears by the news.
Arkham, a self-described "conservatarian" with over 400,000 followers on X, is known for his vocal criticism of the left. He has interacted with President Trump online before, including reposting a controversial comment about former Vice President Kamala Harris, which Trump amplified on his social media accounts.
Reflecting on the White House invitation, Arkham called it “a huge honor” and emphasized that he would make the most of the opportunity, adding that it is an honor he doesn’t take lightly.
That moment when you’re in your feelings and ready to be pissed for the rest of the week, and you already ate an extra Crumbl cookie to make yourself feel better, but then God reminds you He’s still in control.
