Not an American, I genuinely struggled with whether this was satire or not.

Not a great sign for a campaign video?

It is not satire. Most of our elected officials are corrupt and tech illiterate.

He doesn't care about the truth, and would rather lie to his base to get reelected than do what's right. He is a disgrace to our society and should be prosecuted for this.

Politics 101, unfortunately.

I'd like to think this isincorrect, but maybe I'm just being naive.
He should certainly be removed from office.
Also not an American, but that clip does have some Verhoeven Starship Troopers news vibes.
If the journalist was using a “big tech” browser that doesn’t keep the HTML secret, it’s perfect. Big tech is leaking state secrets too.

US voters are as prone to putting emotion over fact as anyone, this as won’t hurt him with anyone who might have voted for him and strengthens him with his base.
