Hollywood actor and producer Ben Stiller's response to the White House sent MAGA fuming on Friday.

Stiller has joined an increasing number of artists and creators calling out the Trump administration for using songs or pop culture clips to promote Trump's agenda, including Kesha, Sabrina Carpenter, SZA and Olivia Rodrigo. Stiller was responding to the White House's most recent use of his film "Tropic Thunder" in a social media supercut featuring multiple other movies, television shows and recent military footage promoting the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

"Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie," Stiller wrote on X.

Stiller's comments infuriated MAGA, prompting these reactions:

"Never go full r----- Ben," the president's eldest son and business Donald Trump Jr., wrote on X.

"Shut up," Canadian conspiracy theorist Liz Churchill wrote on X.

"Never go full Ben Stiller," MAGA influencer Kevin Dalton wrote on X.

"Hey White House: Don't Do It!" Charles Gasparino, Fox Business senior correspondent, wrote on X.

"Sorry, Ben, but I believe Paramount, now Paramount Skydance Corporation, retained the rights. Maybe give David Ellison a call," MAGA follower Tony Seruga wrote on X.
