The two-minute video features Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Amy Schumer, Kim Jong-un, and President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil.
The movie-trailer-looking video is pinned to the president's Twitter page, but it's not known whether or not his team created it or he simply retweeted it.

April 9, 2019 Social media appears to be most curious about what the composer of the soundtrack, Hans Zimmer, thinks about his music used on the video and whether it qualifies as propaganda or not.
Literally the only thing I could think of during this campaign video was that this is from The Dark Knight Rises soundtrack, composed by Hans Zimmer. The track is called "Rise." It plays when Bruce Wayne pulls himself out of the pit.Anyway, it's 573 days until the election. https://t.co/xh1bSIL7I2

April 9, 2019 this.... seems like a Funny or Die parody video and/or movie trailer for dramatic movie with a Hans Zimmer soundtrack. https://t.co/qa8FCPzEV7

April 9, 2019 I'm sure Hans Zimmer, Christopher Nolan and all of the Warner Bros. legal department will be cool with this use of their Dark Knight Rises music. https://t.co/bav0QtRO9i

April 9, 2019 Okay, this is really frightening. We have a president who makes these propaganda videos you’d 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.
