THE FUSE

Every time the Trump administration bastardizes the imagery of a video game or other nerd property for a meme, it does so in a way that’s wildly out of touch with the source material. Perhaps the most clear-cut example yet of the MAGA crew’s misunderstanding of something they’re using to promote the president can be found in the latest hype reel posted on the White House’s social media which shows, among other things, AI slop footage of President Donald Trump and his cronies performing an All Out Attack from Persona 5, a game that’s explicitly about taking down corrupt politicians and sex offenders.
