Not a lie - it's from his 2017 inaugural speech - but wildly out of context.
He's had ~4 years to take power away from the establishment and protect citizens.
He's done the opposite.

"One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away"

"...It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but you didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart..."

while it's an odd message for fascist propaganda, it matches what he misleads followers to believe, that he is treated unfairly "trying so hard" and that it's not his fault it all "fell apart"

(I'm not qualified to give a shot-by-shot analysis of the imagery but I'd love to see one.
I'm just unusually curious and concerned.
I GET why people subjected to this manipulation are horrified that so many oppose Trump. I think understanding that is a step in undoing it.)

At 1:16 in the video his silhouette walks onto a stage and stops while the screaming of a crowd rises.
This visual calls to my mind what he screamed at the RNC in Cleveland, July 2016:
"I alone can fix" America
(here is that RNC speech: )

Now the video cuts back to:
-manufacturing & a large black pickup truck on an assembly line (this was -his Lansing, MI rally)
- rocket launches & fighter jets
- news clips showing him in power
- Bill Barr swearing in
- Biden smiling
- footage of empty cities and classrooms

Ah no... wait... no?
FEAR is what the bad guys (who?) want us to feel?
that the pandemic has closed everything down?
under... whose leadership? (somehow not his?)
THEY: take precautions, want to reform police
I: stand on stages, make stocks go up, WALK TO MY HELICOPTER

(i'm so confused, wait, whose *fault* is all of this? everyone OTHER THAN the @POTUS leading the country right now. somehow. magically.)
I: send in federal troops! reopen businesses! fly more jets! something on a pier! solve racial strife! I SALUTE HELICOPTERS! JOBSJOBSJOBS AHH!

Let me digress.
@Apple's famous 1984 Macintosh ad echoed George Orwell's dystopian novel (and the film of it) 1984. A giant face on a screen recites:
"Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion."

ULTIMATE QUESTION: you can only keep one
thanks and credit to @ThePhillipMurphy this *IS* the same video @linkinpark had taken down (off Twitter only I guess?) in July.
unclear to me why or how it has remained on YouTube this whole time and can be played at rallies. still fucked up.
