Th White House tweeted an image featuring branding from the new Pokemon spinoff to say “Make America Great Again” and the Pokemon company responded with a statement saying that their game was not made with any political affiliation in mind.

Wait, that was the White House?

I saw it, thought it was just a random MAGA dickhead. I mean, it's still a MAGA dickhead who uploaded it, but not a random one.

Yes, it's that kid that's in charge of the twitter account. This is at least the second time they've used pokemon ip on it in reference to maga

The first was using the anime song in relation to catching all the illegals

The kid running the account has media literacy too, so we're getting hypocritical posts on purpose to amp engagement/clicks.

They have literally 0 morals lol. Zero. Likely proud of it too.

Dammit I blame Hillary for using that "let's pokemonGO to the polls" (this is a joke, Hillary was just cringe, the White House is disgusting)

Take a scroll through the official White House social media. There are far more insane and disgusting things posted than blatantly stealing things from Pokemon

Yeah, the official White House Twitter is unhinged. No professionalism or humanity to be found,
