The Trump management continues to announce policies using pop culture video game memes. Previously, the administration created an ICE recruitment video styled after the Pokémon cartoon intro. ICE also⁤ used Halo imagery in recruitment memes. Despite‍ clear trademark and copyright issues, Nintendo and Microsoft remained ⁤silent.

This silence emboldened the administration. They’ve now used imagery from the farming sim Stardew Valley to announce the reintroduction of⁢ whole milk in schools. The White House mocked up an image from the game for the⁤ announcement, as reported by Kotaku.
