Warner Bros Pictures is the hero we need right now.

A video posted on Twitter today by Donald Trump has been disabled "in response to a report by the copyright owner" after Warner Bros Pictures threatened legal action against the US President. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the entertainment giants alleged the music used in the video ripped off parts of the score from 2012 film, The Dark Knight Rises.

In a statement issued shortly before the video was disabled, Warner Bros said in a statement, "The use of Warner Bros.’ score from The Dark Knight Rises in the campaign video was unauthorized.

"We are working through the appropriate legal channels to have it removed.”

Before being taken down, the video on Trump's Twitter account was viewed over two million times and retweeted almost 30,000 times.
