‘Holy ****’: People criticize White House AI video that looks strangely like ‘Animal Crossing’

The Trump administration’s White House account has a long history of posting questionable content, whether it’s an AI depiction of the future of Gaza called “King Trump” or a horrifying one-minute video of a military attack on Iran set to an animated serial killer. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III.

Now, the White House socialite is back in the video game bag with another disturbing post. This time, the target is agriculture.

On March 27, the official White House account shared an apparently AI-generated video for National Agriculture Week depicting President Trump as a character from a Nintendo game. Animal Crossing.

In the video, Little Trump (looking his best ever) stretches at his desk in the Oval Office and says, “Make Agriculture Great Again.”

Then Little Tramp runs outside, followed by a teddy bear in overalls, into a farm tended by two ducks and a rabbit.

The video ends with all the characters waving at the screen and the words “Thank you, farmer” appearing below them.

While it may seem like an innocuous animated video, you should consider that farmers around the world are currently dealing with the effects of the war with Iran. As reported by the Associated Press, gas prices have soared and fertilizer supplies have declined after Tehran closed the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli bombings. But unfortunately, today is “National” Agriculture Week, so I digress.

The tone of the video, like most social posts by the current administration, has not been well received on the internet. Here’s what people are saying:

“Hello @NintendoAmerica, I’m confused and scared. After watching this video, I will never buy your product again.”

“This confuses me as a consumer @NintendoAmerica @Nintendo. I’m less likely to buy your products now.”

“Hello @Nintendo I am less likely to purchase products from you or respect your brand in the future due to the unauthorized use of your copyright.”

“You’re so terrible.”

“We are literally at war and they are posting **** like this. It doesn’t matter which side you are on… You should feel insulted that he thinks you are so stupid. At this point everyone knows that everything he is saying is to avoid harming the market.”

“This is the real White House account posting this,” another person wrote. “********”

“American farmers went completely bankrupt and shut down factories because workers didn’t show up for fear of being chased out by ice.”

“I really hate rooting for big companies, but I hope Nintendo files a lawsuit to end this regime.”

“A concept where the White House parodies a game primarily about immigration.”

I hate that every time I turn on my Nintendo Switch to check on my island, I end up thinking about this video. But please share your thoughts in the comments.
