Summary/Abstract: The story of the video clip is simple: a LEGO version of US President Donald Trump wants to distract from his alleged links to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He orders a strike on an Iranian girls’ school. A grieving and vengeful Iranian LEGO soldier launches retaliatory attacks that destroy US ships and bases, sending American soldiers home in flag-draped coffins.
