Warner Brothers forced Trump to remove his 2020 campaign video where he compared himself to Batman because he illegally used the soundtrack.
Variety reported on the statement from Warner, “The use of Warner Bros.’ score from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in the campaign video was unauthorized. We are working through the appropriate legal channels to have it removed.”
The whacked out video featured Trump as Batman, while Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Amy Schumer, Rosie O’Donnell, and Bryan Cranston were portrayed as the villains.
The video was bizarre because portrayed the most corrupt president in recent history as a superhero, which I guess means that violating the Emoluments Clause is now a superpower, but it also didn’t contain any reference to Trump’s real political opposition. There was no mention of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, or any of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.
Trump is trapped in the past. He is still running against Hillary Clinton and Obama while being completely blind to the real challenges that are right in front of him.
The premise of the video was absurd, and although it will play well with the cult of Trump, to the rest of the country, it was proof that this president is living on another planet.
