Donald Trump & The White House Taking Serious Heat After Using NFL Highlights To Celebrate Bombing Iran [VIDEO]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Donald Trump and the White House are fielding some criticism after posting an edited video mixing football hits with a clip of the Iran bombing.
The United States joined Israel in an airstrike against the Middle Eastern state a week ago, taking the country’s Supreme Leader out by bombing his compound.
The White House’s social media admin made light of the operation by sharing a video featuring some of the most iconic NFL and college hits stitched to footage from the strike.
While hits and touchdowns are very different things, the post was captioned “Touchdown.”

“Do you make funny comparisons between sports and war? Do you realize that people are dying? Completely innocent people too, on both sides. Have you completely lost your minds?” a user asked.

Actor Ben Stiller has also called out the White House for using a clip from his 2008 film Tropic Thunder to promote the attacks on Iran this week.
“Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip,” Stiller tweeted.“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.”
