President Trump’s campaign used footage in an ad from Full Metal Jacket, the classic anti-war Vietnam film directed by Stanley Kubrick, prompting leftists to whine that he would not have approved. His own daughter begs to differ.
The ad used clips from Full Metal Jacket’s boot camp scenes to contrast with the current state of the US military, with personnel dressing as drag queens and with trans-identifying male Admiral Rachel Levine.

Vivian Kubrick wrote in a post “To those who think my father wouldn’t have wanted Trump to use FMJ footage. Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself – however – these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.”
She added, “I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team,” further noting that Trump “is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods.”

“However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature,” she continued.
“And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military – so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with,” Kubrick further posited.
She added, “Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet.”
“And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing,” Kubrick urged.
She added that her father, who also directed Dr Strangelove, “had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is” which “accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films.”
“He had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!” Kubrick’s daughter continued, adding “My father had a great respect for life – his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!”
“So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom,” she concluded, signing off with “Capisce?” and tagging Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, among others.
Thank you Anthony – I appreciate your good words 😉👍
