The Trump White House went full “Grand Theft Auto” on Thursday and was quickly accused of “cringe.”
More than 13 years after the release of “GTA 5,” Rockstar Games announced earlier in the day that, following multiple delays, “GTA 6” will finally be available to pre-order on June 25 before its long-awaited release on Nov. 19.
The White House responded by posting on X what appeared to be an AI-generated image of Trump on a parody “Grand Theft Auto” cover featuring the White House, Air Force One and other presidential imagery.
Instead of the game’s title, the cover read “Make America Great Again” over the number 47, a reference to Trump serving as the 47th president.
“We really saved America before GTA 6,” the White House captioned the post.
It quickly drew criticism on social media, with one user asking, “What in the cringe is this?”
Others mocked the design by creating their own spoof covers, including one that renamed the game “Make America Broke Again,” and called on Rockstar Games to sue the Trump administration for breach of copyright.
