Trump melts down after Lincoln Project ad mocks his RNC TV ratings: ‘We have FAR more people!’
By Brad Reed

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threw a tantrum about a new Lincoln Project ad that mocked him for scoring lower television ratings for the Republican National Convention than Democratic rival Joe Biden.

The ad in question was released on Tuesday and it features a female narrator needling the president for getting “embarrassing” TV ratings for his RNC speech compared to the TV ratings scored by Biden one week earlier.

The ad also taunted Trump by pointing out that “even Fox News said you were low energy,” and aired a clip of host Chris Wallace saying that Trump’s speech “didn’t seem to have the bite” of his more successful addresses.

1. Lol.

Hard to keep “your ratings” (pause) up.

[COLGATE4]

10. That's what Stormy said... nt

[trueblue2007]

65. What a LOW blow !!!!!! Trump has widdle teenie tiny ratings.

[GopherGal]

37. Even Better: hard to keep your (pause) ratings (pause) up.

It happens to everyone

[Neema]

58. "Just so you know, it's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy

and IT IS A BIG DEAL!"

[griloco]

63. Wellll...rumor has it...IT'S NOT ALL THAT big

(not shouting; contrasting)

[Dios Mio]

74. This thread is mushrooming.

[Habibi]

64. . . .

(One of the better scenes in that show!)

[Lucinda]

77. Still one of my fav lines - her delivery was great

[Neema]

79. Totally agree.

Her comic timing is underrated IMHO. I know lots of people hate that show but I think the actors are what made it what it was.

[Lucinda]

88. Yep!

They were all great.

[forkol]

44. Yes, Trump's VD is leading to a bad case of ED.

That is, Trump's Voter Dissatifaction is leading to a bad case of Electoral Defeat.

[SammyWinstonJack]

55. Well done.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Waiting for the "You're Fired" headlines come November...

[llmart]

32. OMG!

I would love it if newspapers would have that as a headline. I sincerely doubt they're brave enough to do that but I could die happy if they did.

[KS Toronado]

41. Some newspapers will do it, I'm sure

[llmart]

49. Yeah.

I can see the NY Post doing that. Don't they hate him with a passion?

[KS Toronado]

69. 10-4

[lagomorph777]

80. Definitely. I think there will be fireworks spelling it out in the sky.

[Midnightwalk]

3. Hahahaha that put a smile on my face

The issues are already clear and the other more substantial ads may not change anyone’s mind, but mocking him, making him look like the weak idiot he is can be effective on multiple levels.

[sdfernando]

6. Exactly!

The more he gets needled into a rage the more likely he will have more of those nonexistent mini-strokes, or maybe a really big stroke...maybe live on the television machine.

[pandr32]

11. Here's hoping!

[Traildogbob]

12. Poke that pig

Laugh at him, make fun of his fat ass, dragging leg, wig, idiocracy, his pitiful golf abilities and loser ratings. If he does lose and the courts come after him, he will have one big one off the rector scale, and end his ass. And like the 185,000 plus he don’t give a shit about. I will not give a shit for him. I will party like never before, maybe even end up spewing. And I quit that crap 25 years ago. I may blow it out as I did for my end of enlistment in the Navy. That was a gut buster, head splitter.

[not_the_one]

18. If he does lose AND have "The Big One", you can be sure he will have arranged for care

by the BEST doctors, at the BEST hospital....... in Saudi Arabia.

He may even fake it to put that scenario in motion. With the White House doctor in his pocket it would be easy to do.

With doctor/patient privilege, he could be out of the country before anyone knows.

But until then, he is depending on Putin and DeJoy.

[Traildogbob]

21. He can run after stroke

But Ivanka, not Melonoma, will be the one wiping his ass and drool. And I hope he lives 20 years over in sand paradise, with the princess stuck with him every second. Cursed to live under Saudi women law.

[misanthrope]

67. I'm not going so far as to wish a serious malady on him

but what it will do is make him become unhinged. When he does that, he shows his ass and turns off more voters who are tired of him.

[Greybnk48]

4. I love it! It hits every note! n/t

[Budi]

5. The name of Lincoln Project's next Ad:

"Trump melts down after Lincoln Project ad mocks his RNC TV ratings"


DO ANOTHER ONE!!!

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. I so want Joe Biden to say, once he has won....

"You're Fired!" to Donnie.

[SoonerPride]

56. I'd be happy if he never utters his name again ever

Just ignore him and move on to fixing the problems.

That would drive trump even more insane.

[Alex4Martinez]

8. HaHaHa. It's *almost* as if they're talking about his pee pee.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. If an imaginary tree goes limp & falls in a forest of tiny mushrooms,

does it's impotent rage make any sound?

[malaise]

9. Ridicule, humiliation and facts

That's all I want. ByeDon!

[NewJeffCT]

13. I know some Democrats don't like the Lincoln Project

but, they really get under Donny's skin like nobody else. And, that makes me smile.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. I'm With You

The image of PINO having a tantrum over a ratings smackdown is delightful.

[zipplewrath]

22. I fear them

They are republicans and I don't trust them. My biggest worry is that they'll screw up some how and Biden will suffer the consequences.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. They are a very intelligent group! And they LOATHE tRump. n/t

[womanofthehills]

73. Listen to their podcasts and you will not fear them

They are all really freaked out by Trump and believe if he is elected again we might lose our democracy forever. They even have adds against Republican Senators who are running.

[zipplewrath]

81. And the next day?

What will freak them out then?

[Kahuna]

83. That's their job. That's their intent. They go low...

so we don't have to.

[liberalla]

14. So FUNNY! So well done - thank you Lincoln Project!

[DinahMoeHum]

16. Hit him again, hit him again, harder, harder. . .

And if you can't get enough Lincoln Project, tune in to The New Abnormal podcast:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-abnormal-with-molly-jong-fast-rick-wilson/id1508202790

[Hekate]

17. What was the nature of the "meltdown," for those of us not going to Raw Story? Would love to hear...

...really melting down.

[Lasher]

19. Lincoln is smart

Trump is thin skinned and petty. it's easy to push his buttons, then out comes the real Trump. Very smart.

[Takket]

20. Gods move using female narrators too

Because he cannot STAND being mocked by a woman. That just makes it hurt that much more, and drumpf took the bait.

[flibbitygiblets]

34. LOL, a mocking female voice saying Trumpy's having trouble getting his ratings "...up"

[nolabear]

23. Oh bless his heart.

And I mean that in the most Southern way possible. 😏

[catbyte]

25. I see they're following the advice of Sun Tzu:

[SunSeeker]

54. LOL

[MFGsunny]

75. + 1000 n/t

[LittleGirl]

26. I wish Rosie O'Donnell would narrate one of these

She can talk smack at 45 . Somebody hire her!

[SMC22307]

61. No, she's too polarizing...

and many Rs and those in the Malleable Middle will discount the ad immediately. Just keep with anonymous narrators, don't turn it into a battle between O'Donnell and Trump.

[LittleGirl]

71. She's too polarizing? Really?

She mocked him a decade ago and he never let it go. He abused her and called her a cow or horse face or something. Even up to and including the 2016 debates.

She's too polarizing, wow.

[SMC22307]

87. Yes, too polarizing. The Lincoln Project seems to be targeting...

Republicans disgusted by Trump and those in the middle who can't make up their minds. That Democrats find the ads entertaining is a nice bonus. If they add O'Donnell to the mix, it will become a battle of strong personalities. Why do that when Fat Nixon is hanging himself everytime he opens his mouth? Let O'Donnell do her own thing that she does so well.

[LAS14]

27. Thanks!! k & r

[BlueWavePsych]

28. 45 only cares about his TV ratings

[Squidly]

29. The ad has a double message

not only does it mock his ratings, but it also shows how much Melanoma is repulsed by him. Shes going to leave him as soon as he loses.

[2naSalit]

76. And then be honored...

by pootin for her service.

[IronLionZion]

30. Do these ads get lots of airtime on TV?

I cut the cord years ago so I have no idea. I hope his voters are seeing it in primetime or whatever they watch. I love sharing them on social media online. Several Trumpsters have unfriended me because of stuff like this.

[JenniferJuniper]

33. Probably depends on where you live, but

I've never seen them in MA or RI.

[IronLionZion]

39. I hope they air in swing states

I'm in blue DC so even if I watched TV I wouldn't get as many presidential ads as when I lived in PA.

[smb]

51. The LP Has Occasionally Run Ads In The DC-Area Market...

...presumably for the purpose of intruding upon il Doofus' "executive time" and pissing him off.

[Danascot]

66. The Lincoln Project is launching a million-dollar digital ad blitz against Trump

Mike Madrid, a veteran GOP political operative from California who oversees the Lincoln Project’s political operations, explained that airing commercials on television and online for the past few months helped the group gather data for this hyper-targeted blitz aimed at crucial swing states in the final months leading up to Election Day.

“We’ve ... been doing this with a purpose,” Madrid said. “These ads have been running in limited runs as we check the analytics to see how the response is. And now, in the last 80, 90 days, it’s all about execution. So we’re now putting the money and the firepower behind it in eight key states where we think it will make a difference by moving Republican votes.”

This digital ad campaign will involve spending $1 million on social media sites, direct email and search engines to reach voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia. Voters in those states will see eight different commercials that the Lincoln Project made. Some of the ads have already aired on television and they have all been released online where they have collectively earned over 10 million views.

31. anybody know where the lincoln project ads are shown?

I only know they are uploaded on youtube. How do they get to twitler?

[Trumpocalypse]

40. Yes

[SleeplessinSoCal]

52. Interesting info on Wikipedia.

Television ads

The Lincoln Project has produced a number of anti-Trump and pro-Biden television advertisements. The Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin called the project's ads "devastating for several reasons: They are produced with lightning speed, and thereby catch the public debate at just the right moment; they hammer Trump where he is personally most vulnerable (e.g., concerns about his vigor, concerns about foreign corruption); and they rely to a large extent on Trump himself—his words and actions." About two-thirds of the group's television advertisements focus on the 2020 presidential election, but the Lincoln Project has also created ads backing Democrats in other races, such as an ad in Montana promoting Governor Steve Bullock's Senate candidacy against incumbent Republican Steve Daines. Additionally, they have released videos attacking Republican Senators Cory Gardner, Martha McSally, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins, Joni Ernst and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, all of whom are up for reelection in 2020, as enablers of Trump.

35. If I was a cop, I'd want my bodycam on all the time I'm interacting with

the public. Like a dashcam, a bodycam can be a lifeline if something happens or you get accused of something you didn't do, then you have that bodycam footage.

Plus it keeps people your serving safer.

[Drunken Irishman]

72. What

[PatrickforO]

84. Policing in this country needs to be re-thought. You know this.

We do need police, and they need to be funded with public (tax) monies, because they are a public good.

By way of reforms:
First, we need to impose serious civilian oversight with teeth. The unions can't retain the power to put bad cops back on the beat.

Next, the current mentality of the police seems to be that they are at war and we are the enemy. This 'warrior' culture needs to be changed to one of 'serve and protect.' We are not the enemy.

There are some rather alarming reports, generated from FBI sources, that suggest that many urban police departments have been infiltrated by white supremacists. These people need to be rooted out and fired.

Police cars need to be fitted with dash cams that offer at 360 degree view, and every officer needs to have a body cam, which needs to be on at all times when they are interacting with the public (they can turn off when they are in the restroom, but the rest of the time, even at lunch, it stays on).

Those are the things I believe need to be done to have police forces that actually do what they should be doing, which is to serve and protect the populace in their respective jurisdictions.

Hence my post to which you replied 'What'.

[Drunken Irishman]

85. I said 'what' because this thread is about Trump freaking out over his poor convention ratings.

[PatrickforO]

86. Oh, got off topic a bit. Sorry.

[Jayny]

36. They should run these on t.v

They should really run these on t.v, I hope they are.

[dalton99a]

38. Great ad

[zentrum]

43. Good to know he is watching the Lincoln Ads.

[SergeStorms]

45. Good. Anything to push him closer....

to a massive stroke or heart attack. Yeah, that's not nice, but neither is Donald Trump or his enablers.

[Number9Dream]

46. Love their ads, but have yet to see one on TV

With Trump closing the polling gap in Pennsylvania, we need to see these ads on all the Philly stations, and even the local Lehigh Valley TV station. I see ten Trump ads for every one Biden ad. I hope Biden isn't taking PA for granted like Hillary did.

[MoonRiver]

78. Here in Kansas we see Lincoln Project ads all the time!

[Illumination]

47. Love this stuff! Trump is all washed up & withering away before our eyes! He's lost his mojo,

or maybe he never had it! He's just a babbling idiot now...

[LymphocyteLover]

48. LMAO!!! Love it

[xxqqqzme]

50. ..."didn't seem to have the bite...

of his more successful addresses".

He has had successful addresses? When? Topic?

Could have fooled me!

[SunSeeker]

53. I knew that one would trigger him.

[Cha]

57. "Wallace saying that Trump's speech "didn't seem to have the bite" of his more successful LIES..".

FIXED IT!

[Hassler]

59. Mr low-energy-mini-stroke is a ratings loser. Bwahahahaha

[Roc2020]

60. 'you're fired' lol

Trump is done. But the material for jokes was sure enough not in shortage in his presidency.

[soldierant]

62. The Lincoln Project - "Mission accomplished!"

It was clearly intended to make him melt down, the more publicly the better,

He is so predictable!

[Nitram]

68. I love it!

[BootinUp]

70. HAHAHA He was fired by his own asshole self. nt

[Kahuna]

82. LOL. Snarf. The Melania handslap though...
