The death toll is mounting. On 28 February at least 168 people, most of them schoolgirls, were killed in an air strike at Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ primary school in Minab, Iran. Donald Trump and his administration blamed Iran. “We think it was done by Iran, because they’re very inaccurate with their munitions,” Trump said on 1 March.
US intelligence sources are now quietly confirming that they were likely killed in a US missile strike. Such a tragic episode would force most White House teams to do some soul-searching. Yet overnight the official site put out its latest meme video, demonstrating once again the puerile, callous attitude of the administration to this conflict.
The Iranians are portrayed as angry cartoon bowling pins, marching across a desert brandishing Kalashnikovs and a placard insisting “We won’t stop making nuclear weapons!”. Intercut with this is footage of Pete Weber, an American bowling hero and meme figure himself, skittling them.
Backed by a pumping remix of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird”, a cartoon US bomber shoots up and “Strike” bursts out in full colour on the screen, just like in the Batman TV shows of the 1960s. Then we cut to real footage of bomb strikes from the past few days.
Just in case you couldn’t believe what you were seeing, the final slate signs off: “THE WHITE HOUSE President Donald J. Trump”.

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 12, 2026As November’s midterm elections approach, by no means are all American voters enjoying the entertainment. Polls this week reveal deep divisions over “Operation Epic Fury”. Quinnipiac University in Connecticut found that overall 53 per cent oppose the military action, compared with 40 per cent who support it. Democratic voters are 89 per cent against, along with 60 per cent of independents.
What really seems to be bugging Trump is that his own Republican voting block is fragmenting – including his Praetorian Guard in the Maga movement. Only 54 per cent of “moderate” Republicans support the war. Worse, YouGov found nearly 10 per cent of Maga supporters are also set against it, including some of Trump’s loudest cheerleaders. If this war drags on, and costs more American lives, that number may well climb.
The influential radio host Joe Rogan accuses Trump of betraying his “no more wars” platform. To him the Minab school strike “seems so insane based on what he ran on”. TV host Tucker Carlson argues “America First” has no business fighting an “absolutely disgusting and evil” war for Israel.
The bowling meme video, however, doubles down on the Trump administration’s macho, gung-ho approach to his war, epitomised by the boastfully self-styled “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth. Sure enough, bearing the brunt of Trump’s anger at those who are fleeing from him is a woman: Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The outspoken Greene split from Trump before his war in Iran, in part in disgust at his links to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. She began the year by resigning her seat in Congress. But she is drawing his ire because she has not gone away. Instead, she is touring media studios promulgating the Maga heresy that Trump has strayed from the principles of America First, while demanding more information about his relationship with Epstein.
“‘Make America Great Again’ was supposed to be America first, not Israel first, not any foreign country first, not any foreign people first,” Greene told The Megyn Kelly Show two weeks ago.
Trump abuses “the jilted and bitter person” Greene on social media as regularly as he attacks his democratic challenger Gavin “Newscum” Newsom. Indeed, for Greene Trump has added another nickname to the litany of abusive monikers he uses against enemies: Marjorie Taylor Brown.
“As I always say, GREEN grass turns BROWN when it rots and she has rotted to the core!” he posted this week.
However he also seems aware that thoughtful disaffection is spreading, although as ever with this narcissist, his best defence is denial and attack.
“The MAGA movement has never been stronger, but we must cleanse the party of the Weak and Disloyal”, the US President blasted on his Truth Social platform this week, “Whether it’s [former Republican presidential nominee] Mitt Romney, the Ranting Lunatic Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, or the many RINOs [Republicans In Name Only] who have failed our country, they are all the same!… Marjorie has turned Brown and withered away because she forgot who made her. She is now in the same trash heap of history as the rest of the never Trumpers. SAD!”.
The White House’s online attacks on her are worthy of a schoolyard. The trolling videos plundering from popular films, TV, music, sport and video games seem designed to appeal to teenage boys, but not everyone is impressed. They “reduce the war’s carnage and upheaval to flippant, dystopian amusements”, in the words of the New York Times.
Trump may hope to reduce the war to flippant online thrills, but reality is biting. Thousands of American troops are now engaged in a war with no defined aim beyond “bang kapow you’re dead”. Meanwhile, the Iranian skittles are refusing to stay lying down, and still control access to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery of the world’s energy supply.
Trump has built his political movement with crude but highly effective use of social media. He has boasted of targeted strikes against enemies. But until now, he has never led his country into war. There are more than a thousand dead in the Iran conflict, and six American bodies have been brought home so far.
Trump did attend the return of their coffins this week, but his discomfort and incomprehension was displayed in the disrespectful, unpresidential white USA baseball cap which he seems to have glued to his head for the duration of hostilities – and which unaccountably stayed on his head throughout this most solemn ritual.
The bowling pin video is just the latest expression of the bullishness and lack of seriousness which have defined both of his terms in office: the sense that Trump was no regular politician was at the heart of his appeal.
But as a war of the type he promised voters he would never indulge in rumbles on – and if it claims many more American lives – Trump will find himself trapped by it.
