In a bold move to challenge former President Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s campaign team recently took to TikTok to troll Trump using Kendrick Lamar’s diss track against Drake. The video, posted on President Biden’s official account on 7 May, utilized Lamar’s track “Euphoria” to call out Trump’s divisive stance on women’s rights, immigration, and other topics.
The video featured captions that began with the lines: “It’s always been about love and hate now lemme say I’m the biggest hater.” It went on to criticize Trump for his views on women’s rights, immigrants, and even his fashion choices. The video did not censor Lamar’s explicit lyrics, with lines such as “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress, I hate the way you sneak diss” audible in the background.
One caption in the video read, “If I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct. We hate the b**ches you f**k, ’cause they confuse themselves with real women. And notice, I said ‘we’, it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feelin’.” The video also addressed Trump’s social media usage, particularly his presence on Truth Social.
PinkNews reached out to a representative of Donald Trump for a comment on the video, but no response has been received yet. This trolling incident comes in light of Trump’s recent comments on state decisions regarding abortion policy post-Roe v. Wade. He expressed his stance on states monitoring pregnancies and prosecuting those who violate abortion bans.
In response to Trump’s comments, Vice President Harris criticized his views as “outrageous.” Speaking at a Florida stop on her Fight for Reproductive Freedoms tour, Harris emphasized that the government should never intervene in a woman’s relationship with her doctor when it comes to reproductive rights.
This TikTok video marks a new approach by the Biden-Harris campaign team to engage with their political opponents using popular culture references and music. By leveraging Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, they not only called out Trump’s policies but also highlighted their own support for women’s rights and immigration.
The use of social media platforms like TikTok to convey political messages reflects the changing landscape of political communication in the digital age. It allows political figures to reach a wider audience and engage with younger voters who are active on these platforms.
As the 2024 election cycle heats up, we can expect more innovative and creative tactics from political campaigns as they vie for voter attention and support. The use of music and pop culture references in political messaging is likely to become more prevalent as candidates seek to connect with diverse audiences and make their voices heard in a crowded media landscape.
Overall, the Biden-Harris campaign’s trolling of Trump using Kendrick Lamar’s diss track serves as a reminder of the power of music and social media in shaping political discourse and engaging voters. It will be interesting to see how this incident influences future political communication strategies and the ongoing debate around important issues like women’s rights and immigration.
