Who MADE this?

UPDATE: April 10, 2019, 8:10 a.m. EDT Updated to note that Twitter took down the video posted by Donald Trump following a copyright complaint.


Donald Trump is seeking re-election in 2020, and in case you had any doubts he tweeted a painfully bizarre hype video to confirm.

The two-minute-long video displays the words "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they call you racist. Donald J. Trump. Your vote proved them all wrong."

It's also set to music from The Dark Knight Rises? OK!

The video features dramatic music and clips from Trump's time in office, along with footage of Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Rosie O'Donnell, Bryan Cranston, Amy Schumer, Kim Jong-un, and more. Why? Unclear!

It's unclear if someone from Trump's team created the hype trailer themselves, or if the president simply saw it online somewhere and decided to share, which he has been known to do before. But either way, he seems extremely fond of the video and has already pinned it to his profile. We've reached out to the White House for clarification on this.

The supercut includes footage of everything from Trump shaking hands and walking, to his rallies, related news clips, and even screenshots of Fox News articles.

The video ends with the words, "Trump The Great Victory" and then a big old "2020" takes over the screen to let everyone know he's not planning on abandoning his place in the White House without taking part in another election.

Needless to say, people were confused and are dying to know how Hans Zimmer feels.

Twitter ended up taking the video down shortly after it was posted because of a copyright complaint by Warner Bros.

Is literally anyone on this planet ready for another election?
