President Trump on Monday tweeted a satirical video that reveals previous President Barack Obama — or rather, his head doctored onto another person’s body– brushing off awkward remarks by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden prior to cutting to a Trump-Pence 2020 project logo.
The video– which was not produced by the campaign– parodies an Allstate industrial revealing the insurance company’s spokesman Dennis Haysbert enjoying a basketball game with his pals before a commercial of Haysbert advertising Allstate appears on the screen. In the initial advertisement, Haysbert’s pals urge him to change the channel, which he does, only to discover another Allstate ad starring himself.
In the video Trump tweeted, Obama’s head is certainly superimposed over Haysbert’s, and rather of an Allstate commercial, a phony Biden ad appears on the TV when the basketball game goes to industrial.
BIDEN MOCKED BY TRUMP TEAM FOR ANECDOTE ABOUT HIS LEG HAIR IN RESURFACED CLIP
” The kids used to come up and reach in the swimming pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then view the hair come back up once again,” Biden says in the fake advertisement. “I discovered kids getting on my lap, and I liked kids jumping on my lap.”
The advertisement may be fake, however it utilizes a real quote by the former vice president from June 2017 in which he was describing his time as a lifeguard at a Delaware swimming pool when he was younger. The Biden comments were not nefarious and were not the primary subject of the speech he was offering, however have actually been taken on by his challengers previously to highlight the candidate’s gaffe-prone nature.
The video Trump tweeted shows Obama, whose vice president was Biden and who recently backed Biden for president, shrugging and stating “what” simply as Haysbert performs in the original Allstate commercial. It then cuts to the Trump logo with loud rap music playing in the background.
