The man, the myth, the mug shot enthusiast, Donald Trump, recently graced the platform formerly known as Twitter with a new ad that paints a picture of what victory in the upcoming election looks like. After a lengthy hiatus, during which he must have been busy dodging legal landmines and planning his next Twitter-themed meme, Trump is back to remind America why his 2016 win wasn’t just a fluke—it was the beginning of a comeback story that would make even Rocky Balboa tear up.
This ad marks Trump’s first foray back into the land of tweets since his famous mug shot went viral last August, a mug shot that is now almost as iconic as the Mona Lisa—if Leo had decided to swap out the serene expression for one that screamed, “I’m just getting started!” While the legal circus surrounding him continues (and by circus, it’s the kind populated by clowns who can’t even juggle their own credibility), he’s focused on resurrecting the spirit of his campaign.

The ad strategically avoids mentioning Kamala Harris and her surprisingly long streak of favorable media coverage, opting instead to play the triumphant tunes of Trump’s past—not the soundtrack of an enthusiastic brunch, but rather the score of a fierce battle against a system that seems hellbent on taking him down. It features clips from his inauguration, where he reassured leery Americans that he’d fight for them, promising to deliver on campaign promises—unlike some folks who seem to think signing a multi-billion dollar spending bill qualifies as fulfilling their duties.
Trump’s voice echoes through the ad, reflecting on the absurdity of the legal actions aimed at him, declaring the only crime his administration committed was to stand up to the forces seeking to undermine the American way of life. He reminds supporters that for every attack leveled against him, they are inherently targeted as well; it’s almost as if he’s become the sentinel of liberty while the radicals hiding under the guise of progress are playing a nefarious game of “Let’s Silence The Opposition.”
With the election date set for November 5, 2024, the ad is Trump’s rallying cry, promising all the defenders of freedom that there’s a storm brewing in favor of making America great again—again. It’s not just Trump’s freedom at stake; it’s every single American’s freedom too, with Trump bravely standing at the frontlines, shield in hand, rallying the troops against the enemy at the gate. He’s all in for obliterating the Deep State, a shadowy entity that perhaps exists somewhere between the latest TikTok trends and last year’s avocado toast.
For those still tuning in to see what the former president has up his sleeve, he’ll later sit down for a chat with the one and only Elon Musk, another polarizing figure who thrives on pushing boundaries and flipping narratives. This pairing is sure to ruffle some feathers and illuminate the multiple paths forward for America—should they choose to reject the lunacy of progressive ideologies.
The anticipation is palpable as Trump paints the future in vibrant blue, red, and a dash of golden optimism, positioning himself as the very embodiment of America’s tenacious spirit. With all this momentum, the team behind the ad seems convinced that the roaring democracy will awaken once more to secure Trump’s re-election, leaving opponents wondering if they’ve just sipped their last cup of liberal Kool-Aid.
