Trump mashed up with a 'Mass Effect' trailer sure is ... something

Donald Trump didn't make this mash-up campaign ad, but he liked it enough to pin it to his Twitter feed. 

Someone dug up a pile of stock news clips and Trump soundbites, then mashed it all together with the audio from a Mass Effect 2 trailer. The result is ... unsettling. Especially since Martin Sheen's character -- who you can hear in the trailer -- (spoiler alert) is a villain in the game.

It's not clear who made the trailer, since the original version on YouTube has been pulled. It was flagged in a copyright claim by Mass Effect publisher Electronic Arts.

The trailer is currently still visible in Trump's Twitter feed, seen here:
