U.S. President Donald Trump sparked a wave of discussion among gamers by posting a Stardew Valley-style meme on social media.
The image, created in the aesthetics of the popular farming simulator, featured the phrase "Make Whole Milk Great Again," timed to coincide with the lifting of restrictions on whole milk in American schools.
The post appeared after a press conference where Trump announced a return to full-fat milk. He also published other memes and videos, including AI clips of politicians drinking milk.
The reaction from players was mostly negative, as Stardew Valley is known for its calm gameplay and friendly atmosphere, which contrasts sharply with the political message of the meme. Comments criticized the use of the game's style without the developers' consent. Many noted that this is another example of internet meme culture penetrating official political communications — and not a particularly successful one.
