The Biden "Mocking Trump" Commercial Seems To Have Struck A Nerve.

[TrollBuster9090]

Damn, whoever came up with this commercial in the Biden Campaign team deserves a medal. It seems to have struck a nerve, due to Fox's reaction to it.

Trudeau and other leaders get caught on a hot mic, mocking Trump's inability to control his verbal diarrhea. (Turning a 20 minute photo op into a 50 minute press conference, with Boris Johnson asking Macron if that's why he was late.) The video went viral immediately, and Fox initially ran the clip multiple times. Presumably because they thought it made liberal, anti-Trump hero Justin Trudeau look stupid.

But that would depend on how Trump reacted to it. His followers were hoping the wrath of Trump would be terrifying. Perhaps culminating with him calling Trudeau all sorts of names, slapping 100% tariffs on Canadian goods; and (Putin's wet dream) withdrawing from NATO. That didn't happen. Instead, Trump muttered something about Trudeau being two faced; CANCELLED his final press conference, and left early. Presumably because his FEEWINGS got hurt.

Then, the Biden campaign came out with THIS video, showing Trump being mocked, ridiculed, laughed at, and otherwise acting goofy. Fox News went viral with the original Trudea video, but suddenly stopped showing it. Then, on Special Report today, they MENTIONED the commercial several times, but went out of their way to avoid SHOWING it. Instead, they DESCRIBED it, inaccurately, as showing Justin Trudeau 'complaining' about the length of Trump's press conference.

Neither Trudeau, nor any of the other leaders (who they failed to mention) were 'complaining.' They were LAUGHING, which, as we all know, is a wannabe dictators worst nightmare. Not being feared. Not being stood up to. But being LAUGHED at. They also didn't mention that the mockery included Trump's role model, Boris Johnson.

Trump being laughed at, and mocked is the worst thing for his base-appeal, as well. Most GOP/Trump supporters have authoritarian, chimpanzee politics personalities. They follow the perceived alpha-male. The more the mainstream media harps on Trumps criminal behaviour, and talks about him being a thug who breaks the rules, the more they love him. That's a feature of the authoritarian personality! If you want to erode support for Trump from his base, don't show him being an asshole, because they LOVE that! If you want to erode his support, show him getting LAUGHED AT, and mocked.

Bravo to the genius who came up with this commercial!

1. Yep!

[MFGsunny]

2. Derision Destruction of MF45's womp-womp pitiful ego.

When delusion overtakes reality ..... all you got left is well-earned derision.

[Sneederbunk]

3. The Democratic nominee's staff must include a psychologist for strategic planning.

Find Trump's triggers and pull.

[exboyfil]

4. I think their could be a good response

to Trump is a chicken videos. Show him as fearful and weak hiding behind his attorneys.

Like you said anything that attacks his manhood.

[meow2u3]

5. This is how you take down an authoritarian bully

Ridicule the living daylights out of him--and don't let up.

Next up: Trump's submissive posture in the face of Putin?

[gab13by13]

6. I agree,

Trump still hasn't gotten over that beat down that president Obama gave him at that correspondence dinner.

[renate]

22. honestly, those few seconds in Helsinki when they came into the room with the press....

Trump looks like he just got spanked, and Putin is smiling like the cat that got the cream. It is SO TELLING. Just those few seconds say EVERYTHING.

I can't wait until someone puts that clip in an ad.

[stopdiggin]

24. 100%. that positively WILL be part of the campaign

and I'd make it a BIG one.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. I think that's the essential strategy: don't attack his policies or his behavior,

show him as a buffoon being mocked by the rest of the world, because that will REALLY get under his skin and make him do even more bizarre things and stumble and fall.

Attacking his policies only emboldens him and his followers - but heaping insults on him personally, laughing at him, calling him a joke, ridiculing him... that's the shit that he can't stand.

Do it until he hits his breaking point!

The dems need to refer to him as President Snowflake, Cadet Bonespurs, Captain Toddler, and other derisive terms constantly. Refer to him as Donnie, not Donald or Trump.

8. Many cartoons for mocking Trump

Many cartoons for mocking Trump

10. Love it!

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Wow,a twitter ad burns

the Orange Anus to the ground. Must be having one hell of a impact because Bloomberg is doing a whole segment about how effective this Ad is.

[SWBTATTReg]

21. Someone should retweet this tweet back at rump...this would tickle his feathers! NT

Later note: Great campaign ad by Biden!

[JHB]

25. Oh, rest assured it has been done. Repeatedly.

[Cha]

31. There's always a Nostradamus Tweet with

that ******.

Mahalo, keithvadu!

[ffr]

9. K&R: "If you want to erode tRump's support, show him getting LAUGHED AT, and mocked."

BINGO!

You nailed it!

[BadGimp]

11. Great post and solid insights

Flip the script is brilliant imo

[Mersky]

13. Yes. Is exactly what I am thinking.

Great OP that I’m compelled to share.

[yaesu]

14. The DNC or PAC's should come out with a generic ad like this and one showing his many lies. nt

[Bettie]

15. Biden isn't my primary choice

but that is a great ad.

[2naSalit]

16. I'm waiting for the one where he gets booed at the ball game.

His reaction was obvious and painful for him. That should find its way into an ad somewhere.

[Pepsidog]

17. Something like Ronald Reagan calling out USSR then Trump cowering to Putin would work well. Laugh

at Trump the clown is best way of dealing with him. Show how weak and subservient he is to Putin and Erdogan. Show what a weakling Trump is will erode support.

[Tiggeroshii]

18. Looking forward to seeing more commercials like this

For whoever the dem nominee ends up being.

[KPN]

19. I have to say, that ad was pretty epic. As far as

showing the contrast in the choice our nation faces in November 2020 between 4 more years of Trump and Joe Biden it couldn’t get any more graphically clear. Great ad!

[mwf]

20. Who is the intended audience?

It’s hard for me to imagine Trump supporters watching this, and I am afraid that Independents would shrug it off it because it is so clearly partisan. Would Fox even run this ad? It seems to me an example of preaching to the choir. The choir (and I am one) enjoys it, but who else?

[stopdiggin]

23. then it wouldn't be blowing up on MM at this moment

understand your reasoning about preaching to the choir, but have to disagree. As the OP illustrates .. open mockery, laughing at our dear leader, is one of those things that the base will find most difficult to ignore. It gets under their skin, big time. So (IMO) this does filter down even into the FOX nation (they might not run the ad, but all of their guests and "personalities" have seen it, and all know everyone is talking about it) and it will have an effect. Remember -- these people positively GLORY in the anger and fury of the left. It's doesn't play the same with our (and the world's) ridicule and disdain

(nice first post. think you make good points. welcome.)

[LaurenOlimina]

26. Between now and the election, there are what, 340 days give or take.

Subtract the days that are holidays or obvious news days, super Tuesday, Election Day, the conventions, etc. Let's say that leaves you 300 days. Subtract another 30 for news that will interrupt the news cycle, mass shootings, air crashes, scandal. That leaves you about 270 days where you might have a crack at owning the news cycle. This ad just owned one of them.

That's the point.

[marble falls]

27. What's your option?

[fleabiscuit]

28. Commercials are pretty much for the uninformed and undecided. nt

[NonPC]

29. Correct!

This commercial will go to the hearts of the uninformed -- Trumpies.

[marble falls]

38. Us. To keep us amused and alert. We need to be fired up. Screw the basket of deporables ...

and anyone who doesn't think they can vote Democratic at this point. No commercial from our side means diddly to them. And so what?

[Comatose Sphagetti]

30. +1000

"If you want to erode support for Trump from his base, don't show him being an asshole, because they LOVE that! If you want to erode his support, show him getting LAUGHED AT, and mocked."

[Skittles]

32. not a huge Biden fan but that is a great ad

[pansypoo53219]

33. NO! this is the same stupid tact hillary used. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO when you are president.

THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!!!

ALL PRESS IS GOOD FOR THE MORON!

[orangecrush]

34. Agree 100%

[sandensea]

35. Great - but to many Chumpkins, disrespecting faw'ners is a BIG plus

"You tell'em Donald!"

Still: to most independent voters, Cheeto's tantrumps and antics are a major liability. As they should be.

[warmfeet]

36. One of the best political

ads I have ever seen.

Attack this m'ffer, attack with everything we have.

[onetexan]

39. second that, it laid bare the CONMAN for the fake and the fool that he is

to all Americans that the POTUS is an embarrassment to the rest of the world.

Team Joe is doing an Awesome job!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. "Chimpanzee politics--they follow the perceived alpha male"

You just helped me understand the magats a little better.

[subana]

40. great ad!

Biden proved his ability to make Donnie look like the fool he is!! I guarantee it's easier to get Donnie to react like that than it is for Donnie to get to Biden! Donnie simply cannot resist the urge to react, just look at his twitter activity!

Nice work Joe!!



one more thing, I loved the way the ad used Donnie's comment from 2016 that others were laughing at us. It was intended to be a criticism of Obama but no one was laughing at us then. However fat Donnie made that true!

If he had any brains after Trudeau & everyone else laughed at him, he should have shown up to show them that the episode did not have an effect on him. Unfortunately Donnie is not that good of an actor. Instead he slinked out of town by acting like a hurt puppy!!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

41. A two pronged strategy of ridiculing the Orange Menace

while pointing out everything heinous that he has done sounds like a winner to me.
