The anonymous art group Secret Handshake installed a pair of satirical arcade game cabinets on Monday at the D.C. War Memorial, titled Operation Epic Furious: Strait to Hell, criticizing President Donald Trump's unpopular war with Iran, reports Wired.
The installation was photographed on Tuesday with National Guard members appearing to play the game, according to an X post by MeidasTouch reporter Aaron Parnas.
The arcade game depicts Trump "initiating the war with Iran," "collecting barrels of oil," and "fighting those who oppose his military campaign." Players can help Trump find a "Big Mac" or "order a Diet Coke." The game also satirizes Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., having players "find a vial of measles," and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with Hegseth telling Trump to "hit me up at the bar," mocking his alleged drinking habits.
Secret Handshake previously created political protest art, including a golden throne toilet and Epstein-Trump statues.
