Make Halo Great Again?

President Donald Trump’s social media team clearly thought they had a clever idea.

The White House account posted an image of Trump dressed as Halo’s main character, Master Chief. Within minutes, the internet fired back with jokes of its own.

The meme showed Trump in full Halo armor, standing tall like a video game hero. The caption said, “President Trump presides over the end of the 20 year Console Wars.”

GameStop replied almost instantly with its own image, this time showing Trump as Master Chief and Vice President JD Vance as Cortana, the blue AI from the series.

From there, the jokes wrote themselves. “Man, what the f–k,” one user posted on X.

Another wrote, “At least be anatomically correct,” sharing a version of Trump in the armor with a large belly.

Someone else added, “You need to add more obesity and golf balls laying around.”

Others went even further. One AI image showed Trump’s armor falling off, leaving him standing on the White House lawn in heart-printed underwear.

Another user commented, “Unrealistic. No diapers visible.”

Matthew VanDyke, founder of Sons of Liberty International, joined in the trolling. “Time to stop letting interns run the White House account,” he said.

The meme may have been a joke, but it follows a pattern. Trump’s team often mixes pop culture with politics, and not always with permission.

Last month, the Department of Homeland Security posted a video showing agents making arrests while the Pokémon theme song played. The Pokémon Company quickly responded that it “was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content.”

Podcaster Theo Von also forced DHS to delete a tweet using a clip of him saying, “I heard you got deported, dude. Bye.”

And earlier this year, singer Kenny Loggins called out Trump’s team for using “Danger Zone” in an AI video showing Trump flying a jet that drops poop on protesters. That one is still up on Truth Social.

Video game analyst Daniel Ahmad added some irony to the mix. He pointed out that Trump’s tariffs helped increase console prices.

Even GameStop’s stock joined the chaos, jumping briefly Monday morning before dropping back down. The company said it had no coordination with the White House, though its CEO Ryan Cohen, a Trump supporter has been re-posting the Halo memes on his own account.
