The Trump Administration’s social media accounts, in Donald Trump’s second term, have never been shy about sharing full-on fascist iconography, and that was before the launch of the war in Iran.

The White House social accounts, including on X, took it to a new level this week, with a new video featuring various movie and TV clips, including from Top Gun, Braveheart, Star Wars, and Breaking Bad, interspersed with Iran war footage.

As described by Deadline, the video consists of “testosterone-soaked propaganda, featuring a few familiar IPs.”

“On Thursday, the White House celebrated the U.S. and Israel’s recent bombings in Iran with a supercut of the drone footage, edited together with shots from several action franchises, including Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad and Adam Driver as Kylo Ren in the Star Wars franchise,” the Deadline story.

Several of the characters featured in the video, numerous social media users pointed out, are villains and sociopaths.

“Kicking off with a clip of Tom Cruise’s 2002 dystopian surveillance flick Minority Report, the video also featured Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick and Tropic Thunder. Also featured are shots from Gladiator, Patriot, John Wick, Superman, Transformers, Deadpool and Halo,” the Deadline story said.

Social media was full of reactions to this, from those calling it callous in light of the deaths of U.S. service members, to others pointing out just how cringe and kitschy it is:

This is a fucking disgrace. https://t.co/rOiu1eGo5Z

Hundreds of people are dead. Little girls are dead. Six Americans are dead. Others are risking their lives. Millions across the Middle East are terrified.

It’s not a video game. It’s not a meme. It’s not another chance to troll the libs. It’s fucking war. https://t.co/d9G3pSNrlL

Quite simply one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen on here 👇
Whatever you think of the awful Iranian régime, the White House treating bombing raids like a cheap video game is gut-wrenchingly shocking

America, your country is going to hell 👇 https://t.co/MQOlmSh9ok
