Theme[]
The video focuses on the opinions and views that some people hold about President Donald Trump. Poppy refers to Trump in an indirect way, simply calling him a "famous politician". The video is also a satire on those who choose to make angry posts directed at Trump on social media when his actions do not line up with their beliefs, believing that doing so will accomplish something. This is often referred to as "slacktivism" - performing an action via the internet for some political or social cause that requires little time or involvement.
