When a Hollywood Movie Uses Clips of President Duterte to Promote their Film

Well This is Interesting…

It starts with clips of US President Trump talking about how the United States of America will respond with fire and fury against any military action of North Korea. It then transitions to clips of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte talking about a possible World War. Then it becomes a cheesy trailer of a Hollywood movie called American Assassin. Unfortunately we can’t embed the video here but you can watch it (while it’s still up) by clicking here.

The video has racked up over 8M views to-date, 19,700+ shares, and more than 138,000+ likes. It’s currently up on the Viewer’s Choice Philippines Facebook Page which is a platform being used by the producers to push their movies under a more neutral guise. They’ve also been aggressively pushing the idea that American Assassin has the highest amount of “buzz” in August. It’s most likely based on the engagement that the Trump-Duterte edited trailer has given them.

Pretty slick hijacking done by the producers for this one. 😛
