Donald Trump is absolutely furious!
Why? Because the Lincoln Project is running an ad in regular rotation on Fox News that calls the disgraced, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president an “impotent and flabby” loser and con man who is grifting off his supporters because it’s the only way he can make a dime now that his name is as worthless as pyrite.
The ad, which carries the title “Sucker” is clearly aimed both at the ex-president, but also at the MAGA faithful who continue to willfully hand their money over to the Donald by attending his rallies, buying his merchandise, and contributing money to his “Save America” political action committee.
The narration alone is enough to condemn Trump, but with the accompanying images, it lays bare the notion that Donald gives a damn about anyone but himself, with the narrator intoning:
Dear MAGA, we have some bad news. No, not that he lost. Not that your little coup attempt failed and its planners and the attackers are going to jail. No. The really bad news is why Trump told you he lost. Why he set it up way before the 2020 election. It wasn’t voter fraud but it was fraud.
Trump told you the election was stolen ripped you off, to sucker you, to take your hard-earned money and shovel it into his pockets. He spent it on himself not to take back the White House.
It was the biggest scam in political history. Every dollar you sent him paid to keep his shady business empire and lavish lifestyle going. It was a sucker game all along. And you know who the sucker is? You.
Trump was enraged by the ad and its message, going on his failing Truth Social site and posting this hateful missive:
“The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where else, Fox News. I thought they ran away to the asylum after their last catastrophic campaign, with charges made against them that were big time sleaze, and me getting many millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016.
The Paul Ryun run Fox only has high standards for ‘Trump’ ads, but not for anyone else. The Perverts should not be allowed to ‘false advertise,’ and Fox News should not allow it to happen.
“See you all in Court!!!”
That’s just bluster and smoke. He’s not suing anyone. And even if he did, he’d lose on free speech grounds.
But perhaps best of all was what Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson had to say in response to Donald’s little threat:
“In 2020, The Lincoln Project took up a long-term free lease in Trump’s brain. His threat to sue the Lincoln Project today is like Trump himself; impotent, flabby, and pathetic.”
Damn! That burn is going to leave one hell of a mark.
