While not everyone is looking forward to Donald Trump being president again in 2020, he certainly is. He even just posted his first re-election campaign on Twitter. However, it wasn’t as successful as he thought it would be, as it got a copyright strike from Warner Bros. for using a song from The Dark Knight Rises.
It was afternoon yesterday when Donald Trump’s Twitter account shared a fresh hype video of his 2020 re-election campaign. It read, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they call you racist. Donald J. Trump. Your vote proved them all wrong,” accompanied by the music “Why do we fall?” from The Dark Knight Rises composed by Hans Zimmer.
“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,” stated Warner Bros. It wasn’t long before celebrities started taking notice and some people even made a joke out of Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign blunder– his very first attempt, nonetheless.
Homie got legit copyright claimed. Dude doesn’t even know the rules, and people want four more years of this guy?
Still, it is not clear whether the campaign video with the copyright strike was an in-house production or something Trump simply saw online and reposted. Regardless, we can expect more blunders attempts as the 2020 election in the US draws near.
