KYIV, Ukraine — A social media video promoting President Trump’s tax bill is getting a lot of attention in Ukraine. The reason involves a TV star, a mission and a powerful Ukrainian weapon — humor.
Last week, the White House posted a video on its official Instagram page, showing a woman working at a computer late at night.
“Work more, keep more,” the subtitles read. “No tax on overtime, courtesy of the one big beautiful bill.”
The post received hundreds of comments. Many were from Ukrainians. “That’s our Motrya,” they wrote.
Motrya — played by Antonina Khyzhniak, a well-known Ukrainian actress — is a character from Spiymaty Kaidasha, To Catch the Kaidash, a 2020 Ukrainian TV drama series.
