Prior to the much-awaited eclipse, a video was shared by ex-President Donald Trump on Sunday. The eclipse is set to commence on Monday, starting from Texas and moving towards the Atlantic Coast in the U.S. The video features an initial shot of what seems to be the sun, accompanied by Richard Strauss’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra” playing in the background, famously recognized from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The words “THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY” slowly comes on the screen as a montage of individuals wearing solar glasses and staring at the sky, watching an eclipse, flashes on the screen. The chyron continues its sentence with “IS TAKING PLACE IN 2024” over the image of the sun as Trump’s iconic silhouette begins to cover the sun. The video shows another montage of individuals excitedly looking at the eclipse and shouting for joy, with one man saying, “I never thought I’d see this!”
The video ends with the words, “WE WILL SAVE AMERICA AND MAKE IT GREAT AGAIN,” ending with “TRUMP 2024.”
