Minute Read

President Donald Trump recently released a new advertisement campaign. Narrating the events, it appears that Trump is taking direct shots at Democrats, particularly his long-time political rival, Hillary Clinton. The advertisement was released on Trump’s Truth Social platform and includes references to George Orwell’s “1984.”

Orwellian Inspiration

“1984” shows a world dominated by an all-seeing government led by Big Brother. Trump’s ad uses similar visuals and themes, suggesting that Democrats are leading the nation toward such a dystopian future. On Truth Social, Trump claimed to be showing the truth of what is currently happening in America through this advertisement.

The Heroic Trump?

Positioning himself as a savior figure, Trump’s advertisement suggests he’s the beacon of hope for American workers. These workers, presented as mindless drones, appear trapped under President Joe Biden’s governance. However, Trump is shown to help these workers and save them from apparent oppression.

Ignoring Biden’s Stumble

One of the key moments of the campaign is President Biden’s real-life stumble on the stairs of Air Force One. Trump’s ad uses this moment to cast doubts on Biden’s physical fitness and leadership capability. “See for yourself,” the ad suggests, urging viewers to question Biden’s health and readiness for the presidency.

Brainwashing Accusations

The advertisement directly accuses the Democrats of manipulating the public. In it, Hillary Clinton claims that Biden has done an “amazing job.” Using her words as evidence, the ad suggests that it’s the Democrats, not Trump’s camp, who are attempting to brainwash the public.

Denying the Trip

Trump’s ad doesn’t stop at just showcasing Biden’s stumble. It pushes this idea further by showing Democrats trying to downplay or outright deny the incident. As viewers watch the fall, a man with a bullhorn interrupts, saying, “This did not happen.” This part of the advertisement appears to criticize Democrats for apparently hiding truths and manipulating the public.

Trump’s Dominance in Polls

However, the ad isn’t just Democrat criticism, as it also shows the current polls. The campaign indicates that Trump has a substantial 10-point lead over President Biden. It also emphasizes economic concerns, pointing out that American incomes have suffered for the third straight year, raising questions about the current administration’s financial policies.

Trump’s Growing Popularity

The HarrisX/Harris poll results show Trump’s rising influence. Holding a lead of 46 percent against Biden’s 41, Trump’s real-life comeback appears possible. When compared to Robert Kennedy, the poll suggests Trump remains dominant, a potential reflection of his appeal even after leaving the presidency.

Clinton’s Ever-Present Influence

The new Trump ad clearly shows Clinton’s apparent influence in current political conversations. It shows Clinton taking center stage, continuously delivering her political stance to the American workers. This is portrayed through a large screen similar to that of Big Brother in “1984”, which amplifies her presence and influence.

Scanning Minds and Reviving Controversies

In another scene, voters in the ad are shown passing through “mind scanners,” which suggests government surveillance. Additionally, the ad doesn’t shy away from referencing Clinton’s 2016 speech. In it, she described Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables,” which polarized audiences. This ad reignited debates and discussions about the comment.

Woke Messages Everywhere

In Trump’s dark vision of a controlled society, there are posters that constantly remind the public of a political narrative. With slogans such as “Woke is no joke” and “Joe cares about you,” the ad seems to criticize the current administration’s messaging. As Hillary Clinton says in the ad’s background, “He’s only in it for himself,” these posters support Trump’s propaganda.

Burst of Color and Agreement

In a stark contrast to the bleak surroundings, a brave woman displays a vibrant image of Trump. As she plays footage of the former president saying, “To workers watching their take-home pay shrink… I have your back,” the previously subdued crowd begins nodding. This is a clear sign of their agreement and, perhaps, hope.

Clinton’s Bold “Cult” Assertion

This ad is likely in response to Clinton’s earlier statement during a CNN interview. She strongly believed that Trump’s faithful supporters are part of a cult. She said, “Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members,” hinting at the depth of her concerns about politics.

Questioning Trump’s Motives

Clinton shared her further concerns about Trump and his motivations. She claimed that Trump’s actions are driven by personal interest rather than national welfare. She said, “He’s only in it for himself,” and argued that the American people would suffer under him if he is elected again. This put his commitment to the American people under debate.

Obsession Over Past Rivals

Many people took to social media to criticize the ad. Some of them focused on Trump’s obsession with past events. One user said, “Nothing says obsessed lunatic like focusing on a political opponent from <checks notes> 8 years ago.” Another user agreed, saying, “Clown still thinks he is running against Hillary. Full on dementia.”

Questioning Trump’s Focus

Another user continued these critiques, saying, “The even sadder part is that his followers act like these things just happened yesterday or are relevant. Like dog, we’re getting close to a decade removed from the Hillary stuff. It’s not the win you think it is, no liberals are crying. It’s just really pathetic and cringey.”

The “Lock Her Up” Controversy

Other users criticized the ad’s suggestion that Clinton and Biden were brainwashing the public. Reflecting on the chants that became part of Trump’s campaign, one user remarked, “You wanna hear “brainwashed”? And now, 8 years later, the rally crowds chant Lock Her Up. That’s brainwashed.”

A Mismatched Representation?

Other users highlighted the contrast between Trump’s affluent background and his main audience. One user said, “The New York Mob Boss Real Estate Tycoon with a golden toilet who has rural Midwest voters convinced he is the only one who truly understands them thinks Hillary Clinton is brainwashing people.”

Hillary’s Lasting Impact

Other users spoke about Clinton’s lasting presence in political discourse, especially among Trump supporters. One commenter said, “Hillary has been living rent-free in MAGA heads for so long that she could file for adverse possession.” Another person shared the same idea, saying, “Democrats should nominate her for Speaker just to watch the Republican meltdown.”
