I want to see an avalanche of political ads targeting Trumps ego.

The amount of material is endless. I want ads that attack his health, his intelligence, his wealth, his incompetence, how dumb of a liar he is. Trump is a fucking clown who only knows how to be corrupt. If Trump did not have money handed to him his whole life to buy lawyers, He would be the manager of a McDonalds somewhere and he would fuck that up.

A narcissists biggest weakness is their ego. Attack the ego and they can't handle it, then they make big mistakes.

That drives him nuts; nothing is more important to him than his image of wealth. He once sued Tim O'Brien for writing that he wasn't really a billionaire (and he lost).

Bloomberg's campaign said there was no truth to Trump's remarks.

"The president is lying," Bloomberg campaign spokesperson Julie Wood said in a statement. "He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan."

Yep, this kind of stuff. Since we can't have nice things, we might as well troll them back. /shrug

And then list all his failures:

his multiple bankruptcies and business failures;
North Korea;
tariffs causing farm bankruptcies;
any diplomacy he has tried;
loss of respect in the world;
easily manipulated by flattery; etc. etc.

his only real success is being a reality show host, i. e. conman, which is what he does as president.

Humiliate him, his kids and all GOP that bow to his traitorous BS. The material and video is endless. Blow his fuse box. We may get lucky. We have two willing candidates that are glad to spend Koch and oligarchs type cash to throw his ass out of the people's house. And all the slimy free loaders hoarded up there as well. Every damn one, the bleach the place top to bottom. Remove the toilets.😱😷💩

Social Security because they aren't needed as much due to all the increased wealth (but of course not to those to need it - they are doing worse and he wants them & the working class to suffer so he and oligarchs everywhere own everything or near to it as possible.

Previously I included Russia in the above statement getting caught up in my rant, but really wanted to say what I think it is critical for Democrats to highlight what drumpfs' wanting to do, I don't think it is needed to state his actual motivation - just that is what he wants to do and why would he try to hurt xmillions of disabled, poor & elderly Americans?

His fake hair! Show that picture of his bald pink scalp when the wind whipped his hair in the air!

His fake tan! Do a huge close up on the white skin around his eyes and then show the orange glow of his skin.

His obesity. Call him Fat Donny.

His kids. Call them Dumb and Dumber and the boring Princess.

Show the naked pictures of Melania over and over -- the ones of her cuddling with another woman and ask Donny if she does this with him.

It's time to forget if they go low we go high. Not with this man. It's time for him to get what he's been giving. If only someone could get into his rallies and put in speakers so we could all get on line and scream, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Wouldn't he just burst!! Just imagine a thousand people screaming, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
I wish at the state of the union all Democrats would get up and walk out.

If it's a one word ad, the most effective word to use is LOSER!

Trump divides his world into only winners and losers, and he always tries to portray himself as the winner.

He's a narcissist and a bully. You deal with a narcissist by attacking his ego, and you deal with a bully by punching him in the mouth. So when he pulls that crap like he did with Hillary, where he starts wandering the stage and lurking behind our nominee while he/she is answering, just turn around and say, "Hey......GRANDPA......your chair is over there. Go sit down while the grown-ups talk."

Refer to him as old, unattractive, stupid, a failure, et al., and you will break him, and he'll quite possibly lose his mind right on national TV. And just like all bullies, he's going to try to physically intimidate our nominee, but if that person comes right back at him just as aggressive, you will back him down and make him look like a coward (a great example is the video of when he tried to give a political speech at that black church just before the 2016 election--the fear in his eyes when they confronted him was a sight to behold).

she said that the 2020 election is about "character"
and she ain't wrong. We must not fall into the snare
of debating about the economy or stock market or other
distractions. We have to hammer home that Trump is
UNFIT as a basic, decent human being to occupy the
office.

There's no way a person can vote for Trump if character
matters to them. They can't hold their noses for another
4 years.

If the dem candidate wants to make him unravel, just
humiliate Trump during live debates. Instant rage will
follow, which will lead to the exposure of all his character
flaws, which are too numerous to list here.

When he lies, call him a liar.
When he is selfish and self-promoting, call him selfish.
When he brags, point out the exaggerations and inflated ego.
When he acts like a bully, call him a bully.
