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. ⚠️

      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.
