Critics have called Trump administration’s provocative video ‘slopaganda’, used to promote president’s agenda
A Hollywood-themed propaganda video released by the White House promising “justice the American way” for Iran features movie stars from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and promotes characters including a corrupt lawyer, a drug dealer and a freedom fighter who stands up to the overwhelming force of an invading foreign army.
The 42-second video posted on the official X account of the White House on Thursday was met with almost universal mockery online, with comments accusing the Trump administration of immaturity, and likening its social media strategy to one run by teenagers.
I would just like to point out that this is fucking insane.
These people are going to get us all killed.
I purchased a stock of MREs. I’m considering buying a firearm. I hate guns. I don’t want a gun.
These people are running the United States.
This is not normal. We are in danger. ⚠️
Bought my first one like 4 days ago. I hate owning guns. I never wanted to own one. I'm in my 30s in Texas, and around them all the time for work and never wanted one.
Things are just not right anymore.
It's smart to be prepared. Hopefully we'll never need to use these, but I won't put my faith in a civilization run by Trump supporters to remain stable.
A recent shower thought I had:
Liberals are to guns as conservatives are to abortions:
Their prevalence is a moral/ethical problem in society and the government should regulate them to reduce their numbers.
But it’s ok for me to have one. I just won’t talk about it.
If you buy one, make sure you train with it. Just basic safety and target shooting. People think they can just have something on a shelf and grab it in an emergency but that is dangerous for them and those around them.
Also want to throw out building a garden if you have some dirt and networking with like minded people.
This is the circus part. Of the bread and circuses. But I don't think we're getting the bread.
Lol! They couldn't even find American actors for their America First campaign?
It's pretty consistent with how the rest of their "America First" bullshit has played out
I love how they also use Master Chief and Halo music, as if Chief wouldn't slaughter the orange grunt with his bare hands and tbag him. Trump already tried an insurrection, and the Spartans were made to kill insurrectionists
So he’s using people’s images without permission? We all know nothing will happen. So when he declares martial law in October, why would we think anything would happen To stop him?
Its being praised way more than it is mocked. But its always hard to tell at the Nazi Bot Bar.
My money is on this was made by Barron.
