May 4th is commonly commemorated as Star Wars Day, and Donald Trump was not about to miss it.
In a daring move, the Department of Defense released a 5-minute Star Wars-themed movie, highlighting recent victories and eliciting a galaxy of reactions.
A torrent of reactions.
While the Department of Defense’s Star Wars-themed brag reel garnered headlines, it was a different, eye-catching image that actually lit up the internet.
To commemorate Star Wars Day on May 4th, the White House released a computer-generated image of Donald Trump. In this over-the-top representation, Trump stands muscular and almost cartoonishly buff, wielding a lightsaber in front of two American flags and two bald eagles.
The accompanying caption read:
“Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well-known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion – you’re the Empire. May the 4th be with you.”
The image triggered a flurry of emotions, with many expressing surprise and astonishment that it was from the official White House account.
