Trump for WORLD PRESIDENT?
FREE Catholic Classes
American video director, special effects artist, musician and YouTube personality Mike Dahlquist, "Mike Diva," spent $1,000 of his own money and a month of his time to create a hilarious but amazing Trump for World President YouTube video.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The ridiculous video was uploaded June 15 and has since generated over 3.5 million views.
Mike Diva included a message in the video's about section reading: "YuuuUUGE thanks to all the talented & lovely folks that helped me make this stupid thing out of the kindness of their hearts!! ... #DonaldBless"
The colorful parody was created to mimic Japan's style of flair. He told The Daily Beast, "I'm definitely a huge fan of Japan's quirky advertising, pastel colors and I'm definitely not a Trump supporter."
The colorful video begins with a blue-haired Japanese girl in her Trump-decorated bedroom. Suddenly a very 80's pop song comes on and her television focuses on a message stating Trump has been elected World President.
The teen is obviously excited about it and in traditional Japanese-style, does a quick pose and is immediately transformed into a sparkling Sailor-Moon-type character.
She runs to Trump, who stands with a smile on his face and his arms flung wide.
As the two embrace, Trump turns into a strange dinosaur and she holds tight to his neck before he transforms into a giant robot, builds an army, then destroys the World with a laser beam from space.
The popular sound of a child-like Japanese woman's voice says, "Trump 2016" and the video concludes.
Dahlquist loves that many believe the video is so controversial and stated, "I made this video so that if you get it, you are who I made this for, and if you didn't -- its [sic] even better."
Skimming the comments makes viewer confusion clear.
EqualsThreeable wrote, "Anti-Trumpers will hate this video but I'm all for it!" while Kevin L wrote, "The best part is anti-Trumpers think it is anti-Trump because he blows up the world, but us pro-Trumpers think it is pro-Trump for the very same reason :-)"
Dahlquist admitted he loves combing through the comments section.
When he discovered confusion concerning a swastika background and whether it had any associations with manji, Buddhist symbols, Dahlquist explained, "They're the Nazi ones."
The parody continues to generate views, with over 6,000 additional views within fifteen minutes.
What makes the video worth watching is it has nothing to do with whether it is pro or anti-Trump - the bottom line is it is an entertaining video meant to be enjoyed again and again.
