White House releases Kidman AMC ad parody on TikTok

The White House has released a video parodying Nicole Kidman's iconic AMC Theatres advertisement, transforming the cinematic monologue into a political message promoting President Donald Trump's administration. The video, posted to the White House's official TikTok account on August 3, 2026, replaces the original's celebration of moviegoing with slogans associated with the "Make America Great Again" movement, sparking immediate and divisive online reaction.
