Trump campaign ad attacks Biden's mental faculties

[brooklynite]

Source: Axios

President Trump's re-election campaign launched its most brutal ad of the 2020 election overnight, suggesting Joe Biden has experienced severe mental decline over the past four years.

Driving the news: The digital ad, "What happened to Joe Biden," is timed to overlap with the Democratic National Convention and launches the Trump campaign's four-day takeover of the YouTube masthead.
* That's prime internet real estate the campaign has bought in what it calls a "high seven figures" digital advertising effort to undercut the DNC's messaging this week.

The details: The new ad splices footage of Biden speaking energetically and articulately in 2015 and 2016 alongside clips of him stumbling over his words and appearing to lose his train of thought during the 2020 campaign.
* It's the harshest president campaign attack in what is shaping up to be an even uglier messaging year than 2016.

Behind the scenes: Earlier in the campaign, some Trump aides privately expressed reservations about attacking Biden over his mental fitness. Several argued that it could alienate seniors. But the proponents of this strategy prevailed.

DESPERATION (Noun): a state of hopelessness leading to rashness

[duforsure]

1. Because trump 's mental issues are showing

He very likely has pre-dementia, and is trying to project his issues onto Biden. He also tried to claim Hillary had health issues and was very corrupt. lol.

[Dave Starsky]

5. "Pre-dementia"? Are you serious?

There's nothing "pre" about it. Unless you're saying that being significantly and clinically cognitively impaired was always Trump's baseline.

[jaxexpat]

12. It would be prudent to say Trumps baseline has always been..........

clinically impaired. Over all his public life his personality has shone itself to be uncooperative, undisciplined, angry, shallow, aggrieved, and just about any other thing which most people perceive as just plain obnoxious. He is Sonny Corleone, Simon Legree, Eddie Haskell, Chatsworth Osborne Jr., Simon Legree, Captain Queeg, nurse Ratched and Snidely Whiplash all rolled into one. But still, each of those fictional characters possess more authenticity than he.

2. If that's all they got, hoo-boy They are in trouble

[Botany]

3. Do they really want to go there?

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Bashing elders another crude tool based on stereotype for political expediency

[Maxheader]

6. Yeah, some serious 'pot - kettle' ..

I wonder if the hillbillies see it,,? Or even care. The wingers are at stage 4..a few flecks

of froth on theys cheeks...Stage 3 add wild and twitchy eyes...continued froth....

I'm seeing a lot of "deep state" references on my farming sites...

Between now and 11..3, they will surpass all the nasty deeds of the rights

past campaigns....

7. Trump once told the P.M. of India that his country did not have a border with China

And don't forget Trump's Nipple and Button instead of Nepal and Bhutan.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Your post title disagrees with your link. tRump told PM India does NOT have a border with China.

Proofreading works.

[Botany]

24. "Proofreading works"

not for me Botany =

[DeminPennswoods]

8. Can't wait for the Biden (or Bloomberg) ads

about Trump's obvious mental illness(es).

Leaving your dying father's bedside to go to the movies? Dropping in to see your dying brother on your way to a golf game? What normal person does that?

[Roy Rolling]

9. Desperation

Desperation is a seven-figure ad buy on YouTube for propaganda. If YouTube viewers want propaganda, a Trump ad is lightweight compared to what’s available on YouTube.

Generals are always fighting the battle of the last war. This isn’t 2016, that demographic of gullible voters is four years older, and four years deader. To be replaced by zero young voters.

2020 is a voter suppression war, there are no new Trump voters being made. The GOP is dead to younger voters.

[CaptYossarian]

10. First rule of comedy: Don't lead with the punchline.

The ad won't alienate seniors. That ship has sailed. Trump is destroying the USPS and has stated that SS/Medicare/Medicaid will soon be toast.

The only bullet he really has is racism. Hopefully, there will still be a majority of decent people left in this country.

[Lonestarblue]

11. I understand from relatives that this is a theme on Fox and hate radio.

Rush Limbaugh and other hate radio hosts have been claiming that Biden has dementia and is so out of it that his handlers are keeping him in his basement. Anyone who watched Biden’s speech announcing his VP selection would know better, but the rabid Trumpies refuse to see anything that makes their chosen news sources out as liars.

[brooklynite]

27. The flaw with this arguement is...

...when Biden makes his Convention speech or appears at a debate, he makes the whole claim look foolish

[AleksS]

13. The more he attacks on something, the weaker he is on it

He is the guy that:

Can’t walk down a light decline,
Had to spend a major chunk of a campaign rally convincing his base he knew how to drink from a big-boy glass,
Shocked his doctors when tests showed he might not actually be brain damaged,
And hasn’t put together a complete sentence since the Bush administration!

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Trust Trump is a mental illness

Wake up, MAGAts!

[Crowman2009]

15. I good response ad should show a brief clip of the orange bastard's statement...

...then proceed with a record scratch followed by the narrator going "oh really?" and then a montage of Drumpfy Dumpy's aimless rambling and low energy.

[beachbumbob]

16. laughable as the corresponding ad back at trump has COUNTLESS examples in trumps own words

this will not help trump at all and even highlights trumps failings countless of times

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Bring it. In a head to head examination of mental faculties, tRump is badly handicapped

person, woman, man, camera, tv

inaction, sabotage, corruption, failure, tRump

action, construction, integrity, success, Biden

[honest.abe]

18. The answer to this is simple. Biden even at 80% is miles above Trump.

Biden is our elder statesmen brought in to use his decades of experience and wisdom to clean up the mess Trump made.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Only one of the two can brag that he passed a dementia test.

Only one of the two can brag that he passed a dementia test.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Only one of the two NEEDED to take a dementia test; one where "the last 5 questions were hard." . nt

[keithbvadu2]

25. Yep

[Miguelito Loveless]

22. Not the fight they should want to fight,

but they are relying on Dems to play nice, which is what I fear they will do.

[thesquanderer]

23. Lincoln Project will probably do a flip of this ad, there are so many Trump clips...

...that can make the opposite point about who has ostensibly lost a step or three...

[HotTeaBag]

28. They already did, 'Trump is not well' about a month or so ago.

26. We will see who's more mentally deficient on the debate stage, Donnie Doolittle
