The White House Used a Video of a Bunch of Movies to Celebrate America. Including a Clip From ‘Superman’
The White House just posted a pop culture meme compilation after firing another missile at Iran. As a part of the ongoing warfare against the country, President Donald Trump’s White House account posted a meme including Superman, Halo, Iron Man, Call of Duty and more.
This has been standard operating procedure for the administration in the second term. Trolling from official channels is as normal as getting relevant information for your everyday life used to be from different government accounts. Now, they’re being used to rile up the MAGA base and try to drum up support for the President’s stealth strikes against Iran.
All of these new memes come after the US continues its assault on Iran. The United States wants to have a hand in selecting a new leader for the country. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei I was killed in a US/Israeli coordinated strike on the country last week. With the leadership vacuum created, Trump and others in America are trying to put their fingers on the scale of the selection process for the next leader of Iran.
“There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Trump wrote. “After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)”
President Trump’s Administration & Trolling
Talking to CNN after the strikes, Trump said, “No, I’m saying there has to be a leader that’s going to be fair and just. Do a great job. Treat the United States and Israel well, and treat the other countries in the Middle East — they’re all our partners.”
It’s plain to anyone paying attention now that trolling using gaming culture, pop culture, music, or Internet memes is standard operating procedure for the Trump Administration. That’s just how the United States government likes to do its business now. Everything is adversarial and aggressive all the time. If you run afoul of the current regime expect to be mocked or have your likeness put through a LLM model for an AI caricature. Just ask Barack and Michelle Obama about that reality. But, the war in Iran is not popular as many people still struggle with cost of living concerns.
Trolling will continue until morale improves
The official White House account posted this at the six months ago, and it’s basically a threat at this point. They wrote, “Attention: Trump didn’t come to play. Six months in. All gas. No brakes. The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue. The golden age will continue!”
Some of the president’s supporters are just in it for the memes. They don’t see government as anything that actually affects their material life. So, there’s no problem with the president being more concerned with owning his critics on social media rather than trying to rehabilitate America’s flagging profile on the national stage. Trolling and owning the libs is all that matters. But, will that be the case when gas is almost $5 a gallon?
