White House Posts Fake GTA 6 Cover Featuring Trump as Reflecting Pool Draws New Scrutiny

Summary
June 18 brought a White House X post spoofing Grand Theft Auto 6 cover art with four images of Donald Trump and the line, “We really saved America before GTA 6.”
The meme appeared shortly after Rockstar Games revealed the real GTA 6 cover, and Rockstar declined comment when asked about the White House imitation.
The post landed as Washington’s Reflecting Pool faced criticism over green algae and a recent repaint reportedly peeling less than two weeks after work was completed.
Officials have been pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool to kill the algae, with reports suggesting the newly applied blue paint may have contributed to the problem.
