Trump’s Lego-Style Rap Video

PR Campaign
Wednesday 28th October, 2026

The White House and Donald Trump’s official accounts posted a Lego-style video of Trump rapping about achievements claimed by his administration, from ending taxes on tips to investment accounts for children. The hook was an unexpected, self-congratulatory music-video treatment of presidential messaging, paired with the slogan “Say what you’re going to do. Then prove everyone wrong.”

Why it worked: It broke presidential communication norms with a toy-like rap format released on official channels, creating conflict-worthy, screenshot-ready novelty for newsrooms.

The lesson: Consider packaging a dry policy or feature in a wildly incongruent pop-culture format, released from your most official channel, to force coverage.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
