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.

MAGA Senator Faces Backlash For Dodging Question About High Beef Prices—And People Are Having A Cow

Mississippi Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is facing backlash after dodging a question about high beef prices amid the nationwide affordability crisis and telling WLOX news viewers that they have "so many proteins to choose from."

Last month, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed that food prices were coming down, even as the Consumer Price Index shows grocery costs rose 0.7% in December. Beef, which Rollins elevated near the top of the food pyramid in the dietary guidelines she recently unveiled, increased 1% over the month and was up 16.4% compared with a year earlier.
