DON POSTS AN ECLIPSE PROMO VID

DONALD Trump has thrown the internet into a frenzy with a peculiar new campaign video.

In this visual, he metaphorically steps into the role of a total solar eclipse sweeping across North America, blocking out the sun with his head.

In 2017 the Republican faced online ridicule when he ignored expert advice and was photographed looking straight at the burning sun without any protective eyewear.

Fast-forward seven years, and Trump (84) is once more causing a stir online with a peculiar solar eclipse-themed promotional video leading up to the US presidential election on November 5.

It comes amid national polls indicating a dead heat between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential showdown, with the election just seven months away from the rerun of the 2020 battle.

Trump posted the 85-second video on Truth Social yesterday, which opens with bold black capital letters against a blazing sun.

While the dramatic score of Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra - popularised by 2001: A Space Odyssey - plays, it stated: “The most important moment in human history... is taking place in 2024.” The footage shows crowds donning eclipse glasses, gazing upwards as a dark silhouette crosses the sun. But there’s a twist halfway through the video: it’s not the moon eclipsing the sun, but rather the massive head of Trump.

Onlookers are heard cheering before the screen boldly proclaims: “We will save America.” The video ends with chants of “USA, USA,” and “Trump 2024” emblazoned across the screen.
