In my opinion (emphasis on opinion), the creator of the video misrepresents what the video actually is.
By viewing it through and then examining the content and context, we find out that this is a fan-type video created not by the DJT campaign, but by someone else.
However, the title itself "Trump broke the internet with this ad" directly uses Trump in the position of agency. (We can view certain traditional grammatical sentences, for example, as being combinations of an agent (the actor), an action (the thing that is done), an instrument by which the action is done, and the target (the recipient of the action)).
The creator's title makes "Trump" the actor, the action is "breaks", the instrument is 'this ad", and the target is "the internet".
The overt implication here is that this is an ad that Trump or Trump campaign created, and that it's having a particular effect on the internet. But that's not true. Trump's not the agent here. He did not create, authorize or commission this video.
Also, is it really breaking the internet? The video records 2.8 million views in 2 months. But let's have a look at the creator's track record.
They have 129k subscribers but... The four videos released prior to this 'ad' register 524 views, 3k views, 3.1k views, 1.4k views. The videos after this, 1k, 966, 2.4k 3.9k views, etc.
What explains the massive hits of this 'ad' by what is certain a very lack-luster youtube channel with very few views at all on about 98% of their videos?
Is it because the ad is a brilliant creation, or is it because it was shared, shuffled about, reposted etc because people actually (originally) thought this was a Trump Campaign ad?
Also, was it actually 'breaking the internet' aka going uber-viral BEFORE he added the title "breaks the internet"?
The video itself even labels itself "Trump's New Ad".
In my view, it's a blatant misrepresentation. The creator (well, youtube poster - we don't know who created the ad, actually) misrepresents that the video is an official DJT campaign ad that was going viral on the internet.
Personally, I find the deceptive exploitation of people's patriotic sentiment and support for Trump for what is purely self-gain (https://greatawakening.win/p/17t1k7QkzM/x/c/4ZBIeWiMa6a) reprehensible. The creator may attempt to justify his deceptive labeling by "hey, I'm supporting Trump and the patriots cause!!!" but that's really the definition of a paytriot, imo.
Supporting yourself as you work in the influencing and content creation sphere is totally legitimate. Using misleading titles and misrepresenting content as something it isn't in order to increase your business is not, imo.
Thank you Deus.
