Trump Releases Campaign Ad-Style Video on Truth Social After FBI Raid at Mar-a-Lago

Former President Donald Trump posted a campaign ad-style video on his social media platform Truth Social early Tuesday morning, hours after FBI agents raided his Mar-a- Lake in Palm Beach, Florida.

The 3-minute, 50-second video was uploaded following federal agents executing a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. Multiple sources tell Fox News that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago is related to materials Trump allegedly took to his private residence after his presidency concluded. That matter was referred to the Department of Justice by the National Archives and Records Administration, which said it found classified material in 15 boxes at the residence.

The video begins with Trump painting America as “a nation in decline” and discussing a myriad of issues ranging from the consequences of withdrawing from Afghanistan to rising energy prices. It begins in black and white with the sound of an ominous storm in the background.

Trump’s video on Truth Social was released in the wake of the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago.

“We are a nation that allowed Russia to devastate a country, Ukraine, killing hundreds of thousands of people, and it’s only going to get worse,” Trump said. “We are a nation that has weaponized its law enforcement against the opposing political party like never before.”

The former president also implicitly criticized President Biden for moving away from Trump’s American First foreign policies.

“We are a nation that is allowing Iran to build a massive nuclear weapon and China to use the trillions and trillions of dollars that have been taken from the United States to build a military that rivals ours,” Trump laments in the video. “We are a nation that for the last two years is no longer respected or listened to around the world.”

Trump says the American, in many ways, has become a “joke.” The video takes a more exciting turn as it goes from black and white to color. Trump says it’s “hardworking patriots” who will save America.

“There’s no mountain we can’t climb, there’s no peak we can’t reach, there’s no challenge we can’t face,” says the former president as soaring orchestral music plays behind him. “We will not bend, we will not break, we will not give up.”

“The tyrants we are fighting don’t stand a chance because we are Americans and we Americans kneel before God and God alone,” Trump urged viewers. “And it’s time to talk about greatness again for our country.”

The video concluded with a quote that read, “…the best is yet to come.”

The emotional video is just the latest of many presidential hints the former president has pulled in recent months. President Trump’s son Eric dropped a reference to his father running in 2024 on “Hannity” Monday night.

“I hope, and I’m saying this for the first time, I hope he goes out and beats these guys again,” Eric Trump told Sean Hannity. “Because honestly, this country can’t survive this nonsense. It can’t.”
