The Lincoln Project released an ad featuring a 'Phantom of the Opera' parody song entitled 'Phantom of the MAGA'—and it's perfection.

The Lincoln Project had social media users cheering after releasing an ad featuring a Phantom of the Opera parody song entitled "Phantom of the MAGA" that skewers former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

This ad marks a departure from the project's usual political messaging, using the operatic stylings of "The Phantom of the Opera" to parody Trump's influence and legal troubles.


It contains the following short and sweet verses:

“His power over us grows stronger yet/And though Dems turn from you/They glance behind/The President of the United States is in their mind.”
"In Mar-a-Lago dark/He feels despair/A tower of debt now grown/Beyond repair/Age and senility/Now hold their sway/So sad to see his power shrivel up/And fade away."
"From massive legal fees/He's deep in debt/His power over you/Grows stronger yet/Click here to give him cash/His coffer fills/Look past the fraud/Ignore his mental ills/Just pay his bills."
"The Phantom of the MAGA/He's there/The Phantom of the MAGA."

In a statement, the Lincoln Project said the parody song "is a musical tale about a grotesque man who abuses power, controls women, and in the end loses everything."

The organization also shared its new creation with its followers on X, formerly Twitter.

People loved every minute of it.




The Lincoln Project's video mocking Trump for fleecing his MAGA supporters was released just a day after USAToday reported that a super PAC aligned with Trump has been funneling millions of dollars each month to his legal defense fund, known as Save America, to cover mounting legal expenses.

Since Trump's indictment by a New York grand jury and subsequent legal battles, Save America has faced significant financial strain, prompting the need for regular injections of funds.

Save America, established shortly after Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential election, operates as a "leadership PAC," allowing it to accept limited donations of $5,000 per election cycle from individual donors. However, it has broad discretion over how it allocates its funds. Meanwhile, Make America Great Again Inc. (MAGA Inc.), a super PAC formed in 2022 with the ability to raise unlimited funds, has been the primary source of financial support for Save America.

While Save America previously allocated funds for various expenses, such as Trump's public appearances and contributions to other organizations like MAGA Inc., its expenditures on legal fees have soared in recent years due to ongoing civil and criminal proceedings against Trump.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
