WASHINGTON — The music was brooding. 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. It went on to show a headline that said Mr. Trump had been exonerated by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
