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. Trump's cover is his daily free captive audience televised praise and disinformation rallies

[BeckyDem]

2. He gives that his attention above all else, true.

3. Oh bullshit! His daily televised verbal diarrhea bouts are nothing

more than campaign propaganda. It's not like anyone is getting any information from those. It's free air time.

[BeckyDem]

6. He does but the question is why is the PAC not functioning as typical especially under

these circumstances. Does it suggest their doubts about Trump? I don't know but they're not performing as usual.

“There are only three words that exist in a super PAC’s role,” LaCivita said, “and that’s attack, attack, attack.”

8. Either that. Or they're saving their dough since he's making daily campaign

appearances. Or maybe, just maybe. Since everyone associated with with this dipshit is a grifter. The money "disappeared"

9. lol They are like the Mob, gangsters never really trust each other so you never know!

4. Maybe the are all sick with Covid-19.

[Me.]

5. Maybe They Know It's True & That There Is No Response To Be Had

[BeckyDem]

7. Is it possible they are re-thinking Trump? Maybe. After all, PACs are investors.

10. The ads are mostly replays

Of him ignoring the threat, letting the virus spread, making stupid rosy predictions and lying.

His words.

What would “air cover” look like? Something like people should have known he was an incompetent liar so its not fair pointing it out now?

It’s almost as stupid as the cease and desist order

[BeckyDem]

11. lol +1

[Boomerproud]

12. I haven't seen any Dem ads.

Where are they showing?

[Midnightwalk]

13. Lots of threads

Here’s a link to one near the top of latest threads with a link to the ad i was thinking about. I think it’s one that triggered the cease and desist bs.
