On March 27, a short video was published on the official Twitter account of the White House, in which digital Trump exclaims "Make Farming Great Again!" before running out of the office into an idyllic setting similar to the popular Nintendo game. The video ends with a modified logo of the original Animal Crossing logo, with the message "National Agriculture Week, Thank You, Farmers!" Later, the same profile also published a picture of Trump's Animal Crossing avatar in the company of real characters from the game. The image looks like a modified version of Nintendo's official promotional material, with Trump added and a modified logo from the video and the message "Make Farming Great Again!"
The announcements come at a time when Trump's tariff policies and trade war are causing significant damage to these same farmers, which makes this unexpected way of marking National Agriculture Week all the more striking.
