Trump REALLY doesn't want you to see this ad




Apparently Trump REALLY doesn't want you to see this ad. He's suing to have it pulled, so you might want to look at it now and share it with everyone else.


Donald Trump’s Campaign Slaps TV Stations With Cease And Desist Letter To Try To Halt Ad Attacking His Coronavirus Response
In their letter to stations, the Trump campaign says that the Super PAC, Priorities USA Action, “stitched together fragments from multiple speeches by President Trump to fraudulently and maliciously imply that President Trump called the coronavirus outbreak a ‘hoax.’ They contend that Trump was in fact “talking about the Democrat’s politicization of the outbreak when he used the word ‘hoax.'”

They are so whiny...

That is one brilliant ad. Every effective use of words against him. It would be a real shame not to share it...

1. What are the grounds for Trump's lawsuit?

It seems weird to sue when the ad is made up of Trump's own words.

How can he sue over that?

Here's a rather funny one by Joescum of all people where he pretends he needs to run the ad three times to verify the words.



He's not a great actor but this does the trick.

I tried searching this morning to no avail; no independent YouTube post of this ad that I found, all news outlets with coverage of the ad.
