For reasons that no one can really explain, Donald Trump tweeted a propaganda video about his presidency, with the words “first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they call you a racist.” Twitter immediately laughed at him and called him a racist.

The video relies on common Trump tactics, featuring images of people his supporters hate (President Obama, the Clintons, Hollywood actors) to remind them that he hates the same people they do. It’s been a winning strategy so far considering that his supporters are ignorant enough to state publicly that they voted for a president based on how he “owns the libs” with no consideration of his experience or ability to do the most important and impactful job in the country. They detest celebrities, of course, which is why they voted a man who has courted celebrity his entire life into office.
He then shifts to presenting his “accomplishments,” such as standing around in factories, walking across the White House grounds, and doing fist-pumps at rallies for his rabid fanbase. His failed summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, which have gone absolutely nowhere and accomplished nothing, is highly touted. There’s even a brief clip of Lindsey Graham’s bid for an Oscar for Best Dramatic Actor at the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing. Overall, it’s an unintelligible propaganda-style video that sums up Trump’s incoherent, braggadocious nonsense.
Twitter was unsurprisingly unimpressed by Trump’s propaganda. Read some of their comments below:
