The Trump campaign has turned a picture of President Biden smiling while leaving the State Dining Room after speaking about the Middle East into a campaign video with a sinister feel.

Mr. Biden delivered remarks Friday on the Middle East at the White House. While he was leaving, a reporter called out and asked him about former President Donald Trump’s referring to himself as a political prisoner, and blaming the president.

The president didn’t say anything, but turned towards the reporters and smiled, in a face that has now gone viral.

In an X post, campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, posted the video that showed Mr. Biden as “the face of corruption.”

The roughly 30-second ad starts off with Mr. Trump railing against his criminal hush money case in New York as suspenseful music plays in the background with shots of the White House.

It then cuts to the video of Mr. Biden walking out of the speech. The camera zooms in on his face as he smiles, with the music still playing.

“It’s time to fire Biden,” the video says.

Minutes after the jury announced its verdict last week, convicting Mr. Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying business records, Mr. Trump’s campaign sent out a fundraising email that called him a “political prisoner.”

The email quotes Mr. Trump, laced with his usual bursts of all-capital letters.

“I was just convicted in a rigged political Witch Hunt trial: I did nothing wrong! They’ve raided my home, arrested me, took my mugshot, and now they’ve just convicted me,” the email said.

Mr. Trump has continuously railed against the criminal hush money case out of New York, saying it was election interference created by Mr. Biden.
