An AI-generated LEGO movie out of Iran depicting Trump as a war hungry pedophile has gone viral online. The video is the work of Iran-based propagandists called the “Explosive News Team” and is just the latest in a long line of AI-generated LEGO videos aimed at mocking Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. LEGO-themed propaganda isn’t new and the Iranian video plays on familiar wartime propaganda themes. What’s different in 2026 is speed and scale.

    Slop, propaganda, or not it’s telling the truth that we already know to our face.

    We just choose to do nothing about a convicted criminal pedo being president and a corrupt ass government (all branches) sucking his teat and bending over

    I feel like you really don’t need Lego to depict Trumpnas a war-hungry pedophile.

    That’s what the news and objective reality are for.

        Trump is the symptom, not the disease. The reason it’s in the news and not doing anything is because we have been successfully normalized to the conditions that have inevitably led to this situation.

    If Lego propaganda is winning, I think people have forgotten what winning is.

      It’d be time consuming and expensive to turn this round with regular animation. Ironic that AI is being used by the Iran’s supporters in this way.

      I thought the Iranians specifically chose Legos because the US bombed a girl’s primary school. Seemed like a fitting way to fight back.

        I think they picked it because it’s popular with recruitment-age men who grew up on the Lego movies/games and Roblox. I think the point is primarily to target the source of US personnel, to discourage enlistment and reduce moral.
