The Meme War: What Iran’s Anti-Trump Memes Tell Us about the War—and the Future of US Politics
Published on April 25, 2026.
The article discusses the significance of Iran's anti-Trump memes, which have been used to undermine President Trump's standing standing. The Iranian Embassy in Tashkent responded to a Trump-as-Jesus meme by posting a video with a real-world version of the real Jesus, which has been viewed 24 million views on X and 132,000 likes, and nearly 2,000 comments. Despite losing almost their entire religious and military leadership in the early hours of the war, Iran has managed to function despite losing almost all of its religious, military leadership. Despite this, the author argues that the Iranian regime's social media strategy has been successful and represents a bold act of defiance against America, Israel, and President Trump. The author also notes that the use of social media in this conflict has been used as a tool for propaganda and suggests that the future of US politics is in the hands of a "postmodern" society.
