Former President Donald Trump released a video on Sunday ahead of the highly anticipated solar eclipse. The eclipse will begin on Monday, entering the United States through Texas and heading toward the Atlantic coast.
The video begins with a close-up of what appears to be a sun and Richard Strauss’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” best known for its appearance in Chapter 2.001: Space Journey — Playing in the background.
The words “The most important moment in human history” slowly appear on the screen, and a montage of people wearing solar glasses, staring at the sky and observing a solar eclipse flashes on the screen. As President Trump’s iconic silhouette begins to cover the sun, Chiron continues with the text “Taking place in 2024” above the image of the sun. The video shows another montage of people excitedly watching the eclipse and screaming with joy, with one man saying: “I never thought I’d see something like this!”
Eventually, a total solar eclipse occurs as the video concludes, “We will save America and make it great again,” and ends with “Trump 2024.”
