The White House has recently attracted attention for posting memes to celebrate the strikes on Iran amid the war on its X (formerly Twitter) account. Donald Trump launched Operation Epic Fury with Israel against Iran last month. Since then, he and his administration have frequently posted on social media about the war.
White House’s X account posts meme video to celebrate Iran strikes
The internet users were taken aback recently after the White House took to its social media account and made a celebratory post about the strikes on Iran.
The X (Twitter) post, a meme that throws shade at the Iranian regime, has garnered approximately 24.4 million views so far. In the caption, the White House wrote “STRIKE” and shared a 30-second video that starts with professional bowler Pete Weber knocking down all the pins in one go in a championship game against Mike Fagan.
At the 6-second mark, X users can notice the animated bowling pins carrying guns and a placard that reads, “We won’t stop making nuclear weapons!”
The pins, identified as the “Iranian regime officials,” are then assembled together as a bowling ball, resembling the United States strikes them all down. The scene then transforms into a fighter jet dropping missiles on several locations.
The meme video immediately became a hot topic on the platform, with one user commenting, “Me triple checking if this a parody account.” Another user named Josh Larky also criticized the clip and wrote, “Videos like this will one day be shown in history classes, detailing the embarrassing AI slop war propaganda shoved down our throats.”
Meanwhile, a third X user echoed the same thoughts and asserted, “War is not a game. War is not a meme. War is life and death for so many. And the Trump White House posts…this????”
On the other hand, many also complimented the edit, with a user stating, “Whoever is behind the White House social media accounts needs a raise. Their edits are fire.”
