'The Boys' Creator Takes a Savage Jab at Donald Trump, Pulling a Homelander on White House’s Milk Meme, Fans Lost it

Published 01/17/2026, 8:27 AM EST

When political stunts mirror a sociopathic superhero’s creepiest habits, the internet does not just watch, it memes. The Boys creator has a long history of taking savage jabs at Donald Trump, often drawing direct parallels between the former president and the show's narcissistic villain, Homelander. And he is back at it again.

Eric Kripke recently re-posted an official White House graphic featuring Trump with milk crates and the slogan, "Make Whole Milk Great Again." This long-standing comparison took a weirdly specific turn this week following the signing of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, a move tied to a new policy push for full-fat dairy in schools. Eric Kripke could not resist the bait, quoting the post with a GIF of Homelander drinking milk, a nod to the character's infamous and disturbing obsession with the beverage.

“They’re making it too easy?,” Kripke wrote, simple and biting. Homelander is a satirical character often compared to certain political strongmen, famous for dramatically drinking milk. Trump posing with milk unintentionally looks exactly like something that would fit Homelander’s aesthetic. Kripke's jab mocks real-life politics, and real life just gave them a perfect meme setup without even trying.

Kripke has previously teased Trump’s attempts to frame himself as a heroic savior, but his latest critique hits a new level of absurdity. In his view, the line between the show’s dark parody and Washington’s reality is practically disappearing.

This sparked an immediate firestorm of reactions from a fanbase that thrives on the show's anti-authoritarian themes.

Fans react to the Homelander-Milk convergence

Social media users immediately swarmed the post, with many expressing a mix of amusement and genuine disbelief at the timing of the Make Whole Milk Great Again campaign. A common sentiment among fans is that the current political landscape is becoming worse than the show's universe, as memes and policies align perfectly with the satirical plots of The Boys.

The reaction also touched on a sense of fatigue and irony, with some fans noting how accurately the series has predicted the aesthetic of modern political movements.

While some joked about the Milkman imagery being a direct leak from Vought International, others pointed out the dog whistle nature of the branding, suggesting that the satire is no longer a warning but a mirror. As the boundary between the Oval Office and Vought Tower continues to blur, Kripke’s jabs are becoming the only headlines that make sense, amidst the new season of The Boys on the horizon.
