Sean Delonas captures Donald Trump as an overweight soldier in a war-torn scene, yelling 'Cover Me!!!' to a tiny Pinocchio-like ally amid rubble and a skull. The wall bears scrawled lies: 'Iran is a week away from a nuke,' 'Israel is our greatest ally,' 'We've won this,' 'Iran is begging for a ceasefire,' 'The strike on the girl's school was done by Iran.'

Tags including Trump, Iran War, Lies, Lying, Pinnochio, Military, Propaganda, Iran, International, Israel, Middle East, Policy, Donald Trump, President underscore the critique of wartime deceptions.
