   It appears President Trump had the last laugh as his satirical   
   video mocking President Obama's recent endorsement of former   
   Vice President Joe Biden has garnered more views within hours   
   than Obama's 12-minute address did in the last week.   
      
   Obama endorsed his former running mate after all of Biden's   
   primary rivals withdrew from the presidential race. The widely   
   publicized endorsement received 10.2 million views since last   
   Tuesday.   
      
   However, the video Trump shared surpassed Obama's video, earning   
   10.3 million views within roughly 13 hours despite the former   
   president's remarks still having more likes and retweets.   
      
   The video – which was not produced by the campaign – parodies an   
   Allstate commercial with the insurance company's spokesman   
   Dennis Haysbert watching a basketball game with his friends   
   before a commercial of Haysbert advertising Allstate appears on   
   the screen. In the original ad, Haysbert's friends implore him   
   to change the channel, which he does, only to find another   
   Allstate ad starring himself.   
      
   In the video Trump tweeted, Obama's head is obviously   
   superimposed over Haysbert's, and instead of an Allstate   
   commercial, a fake Biden ad appears on the TV when the   
   basketball game goes to commercial.
