This is an ad FOR Trump, but not BY Trump. He likely had nothing to do with it (there's certainly no "I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message"). But it comes across as sincere and well-intentioned.
This ad is entirely AI generated.
It's just a touch too Trump-worshiping for my taste; there's a hint of the style of Hero Worship one sees in classic Communist and Fascist/Nazi propaganda ads. Not enough to seriously bother me, but, still, a hint.
Despite that, I like the video a lot; the message is very on-point and it evokes the heart of the issue (Good versus Evil, however one wants to phrase it) with well-considered images. Well designed and edited.
Also, a damned impressive tech demo if it IS entirely generated by text-to-video AI.
I agree. A better approach would be a series of contrasting photos…American cities as they used to be contrasted with now. San Francisco, NYC, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc. Photos of people wholesome and normal versus people covered with tats, weird piercings, gaunt strung out. Commercial districts alive with activity vs buildings with vacant storefronts covered with grafitti. Let the pictures tell the story. A lonely cello playing a mournful tune in the background. At the end a simple message. Which do you prefer, the way it used to be or the way it is now?
Speaking of American cities, you know what's weird, for two years everyone has been talking about Minneapolis is a "no-go" zone and was totally destroyed over the summer of hate. I just got back from there for a work trip and it was lovely. I was touring some business interests and ate out at a bunch of different spots and didn't see anything bad at all. I was totally in shock. The guy I was working with told me it was all really overblown and they hated how people still said it because the tourist bucks have dried up there.
On the way home I had a layover in NYC and spent 12 hours there, I went to Central Park where I'd heard on this board that you'll get mugged and it's dangerous and gross, but I didn't see any of that.
My impressions:

Kudos to the apparent authors, Look and Live.

We'd need more than just those pictures.
Depends when you go there, but it’s getting worse and worse by the day.
NYC is not what it used to be.
I went right before Covid and my friends and I thought this was so fun only an hour drive we’re gonna do this all summer!
Then Covid hit and riots and I went back years after about 1 year ago or so, and Covid had decimated it.
Garbage in the streets worse than ever, dirty masks, homeless and thugs wearing dirty gross masks, shutdowns etc.
Now you have the immigrant and crime wave, it’s just a claustrophobic mess.
Wouldn’t be caught going back to Central Park after dark.
I did not have that experience in NYC at all.
