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.”
