White House Shares Trump-Themed 007 Image Amid James Bond Casting Search

The post drew ridicule online as Amazon MGM Studios begins auditions for the next James Bond and has not confirmed any frontrunner.

  • On Saturday, the White House shared a social media image of President Donald Trump reimagined as the spy 007, featuring the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" emblazoned over the iconic gun-barrel silhouette.
  • Amazon MGM Studios announced Thursday that casting for the next James Bond is underway, seeking a successor to Daniel Craig for the Ian Fleming-created franchise.
  • Casting director Nina Gold, known for The Crown and Game of Thrones, is leading the selection process and told Deadline that the chosen actor must "ooze sex appeal" for a multi-film commitment.
  • While the White House has issued no formal explanation for the post, critics interpreted the meme as campaign-era performance art, contrasting sharply with the studio's ongoing professional casting process.
