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."

You can see the video below.

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.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
