Donald Trump is getting hammered by millions of dollars in Democratic campaign ads depicting his response to the coronavirus as negligent and inept.

But the main super PAC backing his reelection has been silent in response — and Trump’s political advisers are not happy about it.

In interviews, more than a half-dozen White House aides, campaign officials and other Trump allies said they felt deserted by the group, America First Action, openly questioning why it’s leaving Trump exposed on the airwaves at the most vulnerable moment of his presidency.

“There is a major vacuum on the political front right now, with the White House focused on coronavirus response and the campaign, rightly so, echoing the White House,” said Chris LaCivita, who as chief strategist of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth orchestrated the 2004 John Kerry takedown.

“With attacks coming from all over, the simple question is: Where the hell is the president’s air cover?”

1. those ads are just showing trump speaking...brilliant

[Phoenix61]

2. Self preservation is an amazingly strong drive.

They know it’s over and are just waiting for the ref to finish counting to 10.

3. My tears just shorted out my keyboard.

4. "Where the hell is the president's air cover?" You can't defend the indefensible.

Fox has lost all credibility defending this Idiot. But even it can't stand to lose lost revenue by denying facts.

5. Mr. LaCivita... this is called karma

except one pretty big detail.

The ad on Trump shows Trump using his own words to show how inept he is.

Maybe America First Action can't figure out how to reel that one in.

9. "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth"

was made up bullshit. There was no "truth" to it. By the way, where is Jerome Corsi these days?

[MissMillie]

14. precisely

that's the "one pretty big detail."

[2naSalit]

6. Maybe they're just sheltering in place?

[underpants]

7. Uh he has free air time everyday on all the news networks

Gee. What could possibly go wrong there?

[MissMillie]

12. yeah, go figure

but guess what....

Some networks have figured out he's full of sh*t and out of public interest have decided not to air the pressers live.

Upside: the public doesn't get to hear him lie.
Downside: the public doesn't get to hear him lie.

16. That Hardly Helps, Sir

There is a reason the man has been shielded from press conferences through most of his term. After at most a few minutes, he shows quite clearly just how sick an individual he is. It is a repellent spectacle. He should do more of these hours long self-exposures....

[underpants]

18. Almost makes you miss the helicopter rants

Really it's "Old Man Yelling at Clouds"

I've ordered about the helicopter rants:
Does he actually go somewhere or did his staff think this up to let him vent but not at them?

[C_U_L8R]

8. They want air cover when Trump's gone commando???

Enjoy the view, GOP.

[MissMillie]

13. Well, *I* didn't need that visual

[JHB]

10. Maybe because his response HAS been negligent and inept.

Propaganda can lose it's effect if the lies are too blatant in too short a time.

Not for the die-hards, of course, but the "path of least resistance" set it squeezes them outside the bubble.

[Baclava]

11. They are finding out the bloviating, blubberous, buffoon is plunging off a cliff? Buh-bye

[sop]

15. Isn't it illegal for Super PACs to coordinate with candidates?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. They've just lost everything they had to brag about.

All their bullshit about his tax cut and the economy, unemployment and even security has come tumbling down.

They are busy reformatting back to their default program of racism, xenophobia and maybe even bitching about welfare and the deficit.

Next comes the call for more tax cuts and cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

KY...........

19. Hey jackass - a roll of duct tape is your best "cover"

use it muzzle the moron, mission accomplished.
