WASHINGTON — The music was brooding. The imagery triumphal. The villains all the same.

A video shared on Tuesday by President Trump — until it was taken down, apparently over a copyright infringement complaint — left no doubt that his re-election would rest on a remobilization of the voters who put him into office, playing to a sense of their grievance against an elitist culture that looks down on them.

And he did it while speaking no words.

The president hit send on a two-minute video on Twitter from a supporter to his nearly 60 million followers as if to remind them why they backed him in the first place.

In white words against a black backdrop, the frames scrolled by: “First They Ignore You,” “Then They Laugh at You,” “Then They Call You Racist.”

The video opened with a tight shot of President Barack Obama, then cut to Hillary Clinton, both clearly cast as politicians who belittle Mr. Trump’s hard-line conservative base. It went on to show a headline that said Mr. Trump had been exonerated by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
