The Trump White House released a chaotic video montage of US military strikes on Iran combined with iconic movie scenes Thursday night, drawing backlash from both sides of the aisle for making light of the Middle East war.
The X video — which stitched together memorable moments from Hollywood blockbusters like “Gladiator” and “Top Gun: Maverick” with footage of strikes on Iranian targets — was posted by the White House with the message, “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY,” and later boosted by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth himself made a brief appearance in the 42-second montage, which was crammed with clips from “Transformers,” “Braveheart,” “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul,” “Iron Man,” and “Star Wars” as well as the popular video games Halo and Mortal Kombat — with a voice proclaiming a “flawless victory” at its end.
“White House trying to get every copy right [sic] strike known to man,” one X user quipped.
Actor Ben Stiller later called on Trump aides to “please remove the Tropic Thunder clip.”
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller posted on X.
The White House later posted additional videos drawing from footage in the video game “Grand Theft Auto” and juxtaposing Major League Baseball hitters at bat with missile strikes that it called “pure American dominance.”
“Wake up, Daddy’s Home,” boasted White House deputy communications director Kaelan Dorr, referencing the nickname NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte gave to Trump last year.

I thought that would be happening. Thanks for the info.
It is not anti-American to defend your copyright.
Ben doesn’t have any rights to the film.

Paramount Pictures owns the rights to Tropic Thunder. They retained copyright and distribution control for all live-action DreamWorks films (including this one) after the 2008 studio split. Ben Stiller co-produced via his Red Hour Productions, directed, co-wrote, and starred—but he doesn’t own the primary rights.
Thanks for the info.
The hour’s approaching to give it your best,
And you’ve got to reach your prime
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time
We’re gonna need a montage! Montage!
Ooh, it takes a montage! Montage!
Show a lot of things happening at once,
Remind everyone of what’s going on!
And with every shot show a little improvement,
To show it all would take too long!
That’s called a montage! Montage!
Ooh, we want a montage! Montage!
In anything that we want to know,
From just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! Montage!
Even Rocky had a montage! Montage!
Montage!
Montage!
Anything that we want to know,
From just a beginner to a pro
We need a montage! Montage!
Ooh, it takes a montage! Montage!
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has a passed in a monage
