Trump Shares Doctored Music Video Claiming Everyone Around the World Loves Him

On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump uploaded a glossy‑looking video to his Truth Social account that, at first glance, looks like a standard promotional clip. In reality, it’s a heavily altered version of a popular music video, re‑cut to flash the caption “Everyone around the world loves me.” The edit swaps out the original lyrics for a boastful chant about Trump, giving the illusion that fans worldwide are cheering his name.

The original clip comes from the 2022 hit "All‑Stars" by indie band Luna Echoes. In their version, the singers celebrate universal love and unity, a stark contrast to the new overlay that positions Trump as the object of that affection. Luna Echoes quickly issued a statement denouncing the misuse of their work, emphasizing that the song was never intended to endorse any political figure.

Fact‑checkers were quick to point out the video’s obvious manipulations. The background crowd footage was spliced with clips from rallies and public events, while the audio was pitch‑shifted and looped to match the new lyrics. Social‑media analysts note that such doctored videos have become a familiar tactic in modern political messaging, blurring the line between genuine support and manufactured hype.

Critics argue that Trump’s post isn’t just a harmless meme; it’s an attempt to reshape perception by suggesting universal approval that simply doesn’t exist. “It’s a classic example of propaganda through visual trickery,” says media scholar Dr. Elena Ramos. “When a public figure re‑creates cultural content to convey a self‑serving narrative, it erodes trust in both the media and the original creators.”

Meanwhile, legal experts remind that repurposing copyrighted material without permission can lead to takedown notices or even lawsuits. The band’s management has already filed a DMCA claim, and the video was removed from several platforms within hours.

Whether the post was meant as a light‑hearted joke or a deliberate push to inflate his popularity, the fallout underscores how easily digital media can be twisted to serve a political agenda. It also reminds us to stay skeptical, especially when the internet is flooded with polished, yet fabricated, visual narratives.
