FOX is reporting on the new "#TrumpIsNotWell" ad

New ad by anti-Trump GOP group uses clip of president's slow walk at West Point

EXCLUSIVE: A Republican group that opposes President Trump’s reelection is going up with a new ad that spotlights the president slowly walking down a ramp Saturday during his appearance at the U.S. Military Academy’s commencement ceremony at West Point.

“Something's wrong with Donald Trump. He’s shaky. Weak. Trouble speaking. Trouble walking,” the narrator says in the spot by The Lincoln Project while video of the president from Saturday plays.

The clip of Trump carefully descending the ramp -- as West Point superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams walked alongside him -- went viral and spurred tons of media coverage questioning the health of the president, who turned 74 on Sunday.

Trump's health is out in the open and will be a topic of discussion - as it should have been months ago.

Thank you, New Lincoln Project

1. I was poo-pooing this ad...

Thinking that DUH, who of us doesn’t know the MF is unwell? That said...clearly the ad appears to be effective. I am hopeful that there’s a leak forthcoming about his ill health that we can take to the bank. Until then...if we can force the MSM to start asking questions, that’s good.

2. I watched the ad again and was struck by its message

It's not framed as trying to call attention to the fact that Trump is a physical and mental wreck (although it actually does just that), but it primarily calls out the press for ignoring it. it's clearly intended to goad the press into starting to cover this. And it's working.

3. +1

[MontanaMama]

4. I do appreciate your perspective.

I’ll watch it again with that in mind.

[StClone]

5. In part calling out the media, yes. But, Hillary is still alive and very well

I like to make that point after the lame-stream Wing naughts had her near death in pre-election 2016.

7. Considering how they covered Hillary's every fart and squeak...

... and practically camped out trying to "catch" Obama having a smoke - the press needs a pin to its collective ass over Trump's obvious health issues.

18. She farted?

Then they should definitely lock her up

[Chainfire]

6. His mental health has been on display for the last five years.

Why hasn't that been all over the news? It is like a dirty little family secret, we try to put it in the pantry with our cupcakes.

[William Seger]

15. I'd rather focus on that, too

His mental illness is what makes him dangerous for the entire world.

[Walleye]

8. Serves him right for pushing that shit about Biden.

People who live in obese bodies should not throw stones.

9. The bombshell part was that they made it a Faux exclusive.

They wanted to make it drive Donny Dumbfuck crazy

His favorite network

This was targeted psychological warfare

20. The ad buy was for DC on FOX

They ant Trump to see this, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump's handlers pipe in FOX from a different location to avoid him seeing this ad.

I believe this ad is designed to get a reaction from Trump, to make him overreact and make a mistake.

[SoonerPride]

22. Any reaction so far that we know of?

I’d love to see him lose his mind and go a tweet storm and accidentally reveal he had a stroke

[CanonRay]

10. I sure hope the Dem party is learning a thing or two

from the Lincoln Project. We should have been pushing this for 3 years

[herding cats]

12. Yep. Diabolical super pacs spreading rumors is how they beat us.

They are masters of the art of smear campaigns.

We need our own Wilson and Weaver out there doing this for our side in these modern times.

[Marcuse]

13. Yeah, these are the same guys.

[herding cats]

14. They are.

This time they're on our side.

But, we need people like them in the future. To oppose them down the road. Live and learn.

[herding cats]

11. The ad is airing exclusively on FOX news.

They're who is being called out and the ad is designed to goad them and Trump.

It's not an ad designed to change minds but rather to cause an explosive reaction. Which I suspect it will.

Looking at this I'd venture a guess it's working as planned so far.

[William Seger]

16. No need to pay for it to be aired elsewhere; they're getting that for free

[herding cats]

17. I think that was baked in, yes.

They're not bad at what they're doing. I'm taking notes.

[Gothmog]

19. This is amusing

21. The media spent hours and hours on Hillary's health

She coughed and it was front page news. She almost fainted and it was a headline for weeks. Meanwhile Trump was barely able to walk and it got no coverage. He's a fat out of shape slob with serious health issues.
