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.

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

I love Lego too much to use it for propaganda. I don’t mind seeing Mango Mussolini called a loser, though.

It is a cheap little silly tool that IRAN is throwing right back in your face. The hatred you have with AI is directly tied to rugged individual ladder pulling, bitchs running wild crapitalism and Yankkkee pig dog Imperialism. This land is a empty vessel of lesser things. This is the turd center of the pootsie pop.

Please keep Legos out of this nonsense 🤦‍♂️

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 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.

Nobody here is allowed to like this. Stick to your “slop” and copyright comments.

Is this AI? This seems like it could just as easily be done with regular animation.
