The video cuts from Trump as the evil character to the dust settling on a clip from Nancy Pelosi. The campaign’s Twitter account expanded on its direct message on Tuesday.
“House Democrats can push their sham impeachment all they want. President Trump’s re-election is inevitable,” the @TrumpWarRoom account wrote, referencing the “Avengers” character’s famous line.
