President Trump on Monday tweeted a satirical video that reveals previous President Barack Obama — or rather, his head doctored onto someone else’s body– shrugging off awkward remarks by presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden before cutting to a Trump-Pence 2020 campaign logo design.
The video– which was not produced by the campaign– parodies an Allstate industrial revealing the insurance company’s spokesperson Dennis Haysbert viewing a basketball game with his pals before a commercial of Haysbert marketing Allstate appears on the screen. In the original advertisement, Haysbert’s buddies urge him to change the channel, which he does, only to find 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 TELEVISION when the basketball game goes to business.
BIDEN MOCKED BY TRUMP GROUP FOR ANECDOTE ABOUT HIS LEG HAIR IN RESURFACED CLIP
” The kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and after that enjoy the hair come back up again,” Biden says in the fake advertisement. “I discovered kids jumping on my lap, and I loved kids jumping on my lap.”
The advertisement may be phony, but it uses a real quote by the previous vice president from June 2017 in which he was describing his time as a lifeguard at a Delaware pool when he was younger. The Biden remarks were not wicked and were not the main topic of the speech he was providing, but have been taken on by his opponents formerly to highlight the prospect’s gaffe-prone nature.
The video Trump tweeted shows Obama, whose vice president was Biden and who just recently backed Biden for president, shrugging and saying “what” just as Haysbert performs in the initial Allstate commercial. It then cuts to the Trump logo design with loud rap music playing in the background.

The video is rough, unlike the Trump project’s typically slickly produced digital ads, but was retweeted by the official Trump project account, @teamtrump.
