Today, the official White House account on Twitter decided to post the administration\u2019s own ugly version of the recently revealed Grand Theft Auto 6 cover art<\/a> featuring U.S. President Donald Trump with his slogan, \u201cMake America Great Again,\u201d rendered in the classic GTA font.<\/p>\n

Team Trump no doubt hopes this distracts everyone online from how awful the Reflecting Pool looks as it turns green with algae<\/a> and the President\u2019s recent paint job reportedly peels off<\/a> less than a month after it was \u201cfixed.\u201d Whoops. Did I mention the Reflecting Pool looks like it\u2019s filled with Ecto-Cooler juice right now? Dang. Sorry, Mr. President. Won\u2019t happen again!<\/p>\n

Anyway, on June 18, shortly after Rockstar Games revealed the official cover art for Grand Theft Auto 6, the White House Twitter account posted an image<\/a>, likely created with the help of generative AI, spoofing the iconic cover design of GTA games and using the pink and purple hues seen in the real GTA 6<\/a> artwork. The fake cover features four different images of Trump. The White House posted the image and added: \u201cWe really saved America before GTA 6.\u201d Trump\u2019s goons fucked up the placement of the helicopter, too.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The replies are a cesspool of racism and total nonsense that only people who spend hours consuming conservative, right-wing slop will even fully understand. I\u2019d advise not even scrolling down.<\/p>\n

Update 3:25 pm ET: Kotaku contacted Rockstar Games, but a company spokesperson said, \u201cNo comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the replies to that post, yes, I didn\u2019t take my own advice; I even spotted someone joking about the Reflecting Pool in DC, which currently is filled with ugly green algae<\/a> that makes it look like the world\u2019s biggest pool of Mountain Dew<\/a>. But don\u2019t drink it! Officials have been pouring hydrogen peroxide<\/a>, bottles of the stuff,<\/a> into the pool in an attempt to kill off the algae. And that algae likely formed in part due to the new blue paint applied to the bottom of the pool. That blue paint<\/a> is now allegedly flaking and peeling off the bottom<\/a>, less than two weeks after being painted.<\/p>\n

Oh dang, I wasn\u2019t going to talk about that. Sorry, sir. Your video game-themed distractions on social media, like you posting Persona shit<\/a> and Call of Duty memes<\/a>, are totally winning over young voters who aren\u2019t at all concerned about the state of the world, their future in it, and all the horrible shit you keep saying and doing. One more Halo joke or GTA meme<\/a> will surely do the trick. Keep up the good work and don\u2019t worry about how much greener the Reflecting Pool looks. Everything is fine.<\/p>\n
