Iran Is Trumping MAGA and Winning the Messaging War

MAGA used to own the Meme game, but now Iran is Trumping them with Lego videos, mockery, and hip hop. It's been a terrible week for Trump and the broligarchy.

Before Summer even begins, bangers are dropping every other day thanks to Iran and its propaganda machine. Trump and MAGA rose to prominence in part due to their understanding of young male culture and how they communicate through social media.

Well, Iran is trumping them at their own game.

With each new gaffe, Trump exposes himself to a new, humiliating Lego music video. Using English and hip hop, Iran is trolling Trump and his unpopular, unwinnable war. Now that Trump has escalated the war against the Pope and Catholics, Iran is using Twitter to praise the popular American-born Pope!

It’s been a rough week so far for Trump and the war-mongering broligarchs who felt like they could rape and pillage with impunity.

First, Viktor Orban and his Fidesz Party fell in Hungary. Second, a jury ruled against Live Nation and Ticketmaster, finding them guilty of violating antitrust laws. Third, JD Vance stunk up the joint at a mostly Turning Points USA event where audience members jeered him and his support for the war. Throw in rising gas and grocery prices and plummeting poll numbers, and the Trump Administration and MAGA are clearly spiraling without any solutions in sight.

I joined Joy Ann Reid to discuss how the global majority is rising up against corruption, mocking the broligarchy, and rejecting Trump’s greed, racism and imperialism.
