President Joe Biden’s campaign has unleashed a strategic and brutal attack on former President Donald Trump, targeting Trump’s cognitive abilities with a hard-hitting ad that was ingeniously placed on Trump’s own Truth Social platform.
The Biden campaign has been increasingly assertive in challenging Trump’s cognitive capabilities, seizing on the ample material provided by Trump himself. Trump’s political rival, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, has also joined the offensive as she endeavors to make headway against Trump’s considerable lead in the primaries.
However, the Biden-Harris HQ account took the fight directly to Trump’s home ground by circulating a damning compilation within a Truth Social post. The video features snippets from various sources, including Jonathan Karl, Nikki Haley, and Chris Sununu, all casting doubt on Trump’s mental acuity.
In the video, Jonathan Karl remarks on Trump’s apparent confusion, stating, “Donald Trump is truly confused. Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people. They don’t want to talk about that.” The footage then transitions to Nikki Haley asserting that Trump has declined since 2016 and is not the same as he was back then.
The ad cleverly weaves together a montage of clips featuring Donald Trump making bewildering statements, such as claiming victory in all 50 states and struggling with coherence when off the teleprompter. Chris Sununu contributes to the narrative, stating, “If he is off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought. I mean, that’s just facts.”
The video culminates in a series of disjointed statements from Trump himself, including him admitting to stumbling and mumbling on purpose. It showcases a snippet where Trump discusses voter ID in a perplexing manner, followed by President Biden subtly remarking, “Have you noticed? He’s a little confused these days.”
The ad concludes with a news anchor reporting that someone close to Trump acknowledges he’s rattled by Biden’s efforts to get under his skin.
The strategic brilliance of placing this ad on Truth Social, Trump’s own platform, is that it confronts him on his own turf, engaging with his supporters and potentially sowing seeds of doubt among them. This move demonstrates the Biden campaign’s agility in navigating the modern political landscape, utilizing digital platforms to directly reach and impact their target audience.
JONATHAN KARL: Donald Trump is truly confused. Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people. They don’t want to talk about that.
NIKKI HALEY: He didn’t just get me confused. He mentioned it over and over and over again. He’s not what he was in 2016. He has declined. That’s a fact.
DONALD TRUMP: I mean, we won last time. We won 50 states, right?
CHRIS SUNUNU: This is not Donald Trump of 2016 guys.
DONALD TRUMP: What? What is…
CHRIS SUNUNU: If he is off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought. I mean, that’s just facts.
DONALD TRUMP: We are an institute in a powerful death penalty. We will put this on.
NIKKI HALEY: I think he’s declining.
DONALD TRUMP: I stumbled and mumbled purposely.
I do speak in long, complex sentences. I do have a lot of material in each sentence.
You have voter I.D. to buy a loaf of bread? Yep. You have ID to buy a loaf of bread.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Have you noticed? He’s a little confused these days.
NEWS ANCHOR: The person close to Trump actually says that he’s rattled by Biden’s efforts to get under his skin.
MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire highlighted the significance of this move, dedicating a segment on Way Too Early to discuss the ad, emphasizing that the Biden team effectively “called him out on his own turf!” This underlines the strategic prowess of the Biden campaign in leveraging both content and platform to make a powerful statement against their opponent.
