    When I asked whether this was an Agartha reference, the White House press office responded by email that “4 people had to Google what Agartha is and we’re still not sure. What are you talking about?” and sent me a GIF of a character from the cartoon Bob’s Burgers, suggesting I was grasping at straws.

Uncertain. Original spelling was Asgartha, making it probably a corruption of Old Norse Ásgarðr, with the final a added to give a "feel" of Sanskrit-ness.
