United States: Trump declares bid to return to White House
(77WABC) — Former President Donald Trump teased an upcoming announcement with a superhero-themed video Wednesday, baiting his Truth Social followers with a promise of a major announcement today.
In the 15-second clip, the 76-year-old trump told viewers that “America needs a superhero!” with fantastical music blaring as the screen cut away to an animation of the former president posing like Superman in front of Trump Tower. He the tears open his business suit to reveal a chiseled t-logo bodysuit and laser-like eyes.
The message concludes with a text promising a “major announcement” December 15.
The bizarre video is not the first time Trump has borrowed from pop culture to promote his agenda. In November 2018, he famously teased sanctions on Iran by tweeting a “Game of Thrones”-inspired meme.
Months later, in April 2019, he tweeted a fan-made video aimed at his celebrity detractors set to the score of the 2012 film “The Dark Knight rises.”
