ALBAWABA - The White House's official X account shared a new Rick and Morty-themed AI video featuring U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and several other senators.
The AI animation featured Trump waving to a cheering crowd at the White House, followed by chaotic scenes of green portals, ICE arresting "illegal aliens," Democratic Party member Chuck Schumer as a robot, and Trump and Vance fighting off a massive alien on board a UFO in the US. The White House wrote in the video's caption, "Hop in... best dimension yet."
By the time of reporting, the post garnered over 2.3 million views and received strong engagement on the platform. However, the reactions were mixed, with many social media users dubbing it as "propaganda."
Arresting 'illegal aliens' in the 'best dimension': White House shares Rick and Morty video of Trump
"Jangling keys for dumb babies. Deporting illegal aliens is featured prominently (in reality: no mass deportations) and war with Iran for Israel isn’t shown at all (it’s the primary focus of the Trump administration)."
"Promises made, promises forgotten" could easily be MAGA's slogan. Rather than tackling jobs, affordability, or inflation, there's always another headline, controversy or spectacle to keep everyone looking the other way."
"You guys spend all you’re time creating fake sh*t because of the reality of your failures."
The White House's X account is no stranger to promoting Trump's administration through AI videos and pop culture in an attempt to reach the nation's youth. However, its marketing strategy received mixed reactions from users, with several fans of that pop culture calling for the White House to stay away from their favorite series, movie, and game.
