From previous reveals we already know that this season of American Horror Story, dubbed Cult, is themed around the 2016 presidential election. Now the mystery of tying that into the cult of killer clowns we see in the trailer lies before us. Some other clues Murphy has laid out before us involve a video of Twisty the Clown Chronicles, and an undead-looking creature with a pentagram painted on its face and hands sprouting from its head.

He's Baaaaaack
