US President Donald Trump\u2019s 2020 re-election campaign has floundered at the first hurdle after a newly-minted hype video was taken down following a copyright strike by Warner Brothers. <\/p>\n
\u201cFirst they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they call you racist. Donald J. Trump. Your vote proved them all wrong,\u201d<\/em> read the text of Trump\u2019s DOA campaign video which was taken down by Twitter in a matter of hours following a copyright claim by Warner Bros for the use of track \u2018Why do we fall?\u2019 from Christopher Nolan\u2019s 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises, which was scored by legendary composer Hans Zimmer.<\/p>\n \u201cThe use of Warner Bros.\u2019 score from The Dark Knight Rises in the campaign video was unauthorized. We are working through the appropriate legal channels to have it removed,\u201d<\/em> the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n Homie got legit copyright claimed. Dude doesn’t even know the rules, and people want four more years of this guy?<\/p>\n \u2014 Antonio (@NExplosiv0) April 10, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n The video features clips of political opponents like former President Barack Obama and Trump\u2019s erstwhile nemesis Hillary Clinton, as well as his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong-un. Also inexplicably included in the short clip were Rosie O\u2019Donnell, Bryan Cranston, and Amy Schumer.<\/p>\n Hell yes! I finally became a villain in the bizzaro underworld of the @realDonaldTrump<\/a> . I can\u2019t say that I understand what I\u2019m doing in it, but I seem to have a high disapproval rating from the President. Hmmm, cool. Hey, do I get residuals from this movie? https:\/\/t.co\/6rqh3PNetC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Bryan Cranston (@BryanCranston) April 10, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n It remains unclear whether this was an in-house production or merely a repost of something Trump saw online, which he has been known to do before: In 2018, the Trump administration was warned by HBO to stop using Game of Thrones-themed memes to promote his latest policy moves, such as the border wall or a new raft of sanctions<\/a> against Iran.<\/p>\n Trump also fell afoul of Twitter\u2019s copyright infringement rules when he posted a meme video soundtracked by REM\u2019s \u2018Everybody Hurts\u2019. In addition, Prince, Pharrell Williams, and the Rolling Stones have all complained about the use of their music during Trump\u2019s campaign rallies in the past.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s latest gaffe led to the inevitable consternation and confusion on Twitter.<\/p>\n Okay, this is really frightening. We have a president who makes these propaganda videos you\u2019d expect to see from Stalinist Russia or North Korea. And millions of brainwashed Americans eat this crap up. Meanwhile, we have an inept media that is powerless to do anything about it.<\/p>\n \u2014 Eugene Gu, MD (@eugenegu) April 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n Make Copyright Infringement Great Again<\/p>\n \u2014 Nash but with like jet boots and stuff (@Nash076) April 9, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/center><\/div>\n Think your friends would be interested?
