Ben Stiller has criticized the White House for using a clip from his film Tropic Thunder in a social media video promoting U.S. military efforts in the Middle East. Stiller demanded the clip’s removal, stating the government never sought permission to use it and that war should not be glamorized. This incident follows similar complaints from other artists, including Kesha, whose song was used in a video depicting military action. The White House has faced backlash for these unauthorized uses of music and film content.
