A new fan-made ad for Trump is stylized after video game advertisements, featuring the presidential candidate as the hero needed to save America from catastrophe.
The ad features an ESRB rating (T for Teens), an epic orchestral soundtrack, and borrowed the real Martin Sheen voice-over from “Mass Effect.” The title of the video is Trump Effect.
Trump apparently appreciated the ad, posting it to his 7 million followers on Twitter.

It was first posted on vid.me by someone whose only other uploaded video was one mocking Ted Cruz.
The violent video-game iconography used in the video led some to speculate that the video was actually a parody video produced by someone who disliked Trump. This isn’t the first time a fan-made Trump ad has been interpreted by different viewers simultaneously mocking and glorifying Trump.
A previous video inserting Trump into the Games of Thrones universe had viewers debating whether it was ridiculing Trump or praising him.
“Honestly, the pro-Trumpers seem to love it as much as the anti-Trumpers,” Huw Parkinson, who made the Game of Thrones video, told ABC News. “The comments on the video itself seem to be mostly people arguing whether or not it is a parody or if it’s actually a supportive video.”
