The Biden "Mocking Trump" Commercial Seems To Have Struck A Nerve. [View all]
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!
