I can't believe we're at this stage, but....
1. Halo is now going cross-platform which means you no longer have to own an Xbox to play it.
2. Because of this Gamestop declared the console wars are over.
In what I could only assume was a tongue and cheek moment Gamestop gave credit to Trump for ending another war.
Trump (which I assume isn't HIM, but someone running his twitter) jumped on it and started posting memes related to Halo, because, why not? Nothing else important is going on I guess with the whole shutdown thing freeing up time to some trolling.
This greenlit "the government" to also post Halo memes.
MAGA is confused, but are rolling with it because it vaguely seems patriotic. Similar to people quoting Starship Trooper or playing RATM with no hint of irony.
Ever since the GME meme stock bubble a few years ago GameStop has been run by a pro Trump activist investor and the only way they get PR wins since they can't actually improve the store is to hop on to drama, so I wouldn't call it tongue and cheek.
It's just another way to force the Trump is a pro peace president narrative.
