New Trump Campaign Ad Mocks Grieving Biden As 'Weak'




https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-campaign-biden-weak_n_5f653c34c5b6480e896eb7ca

A new ad for President Donald Trump’s campaign is facing criticism for using the image of a grieving Joe Biden to label the Democratic presidential candidate “weak.”

Biden’s campaign excoriated the ad that first aired Friday as “appalling.”

The ad also blasted Biden for some of his immigration policies, including his plan to increase refugee resettlement in the U.S.

Biden plans to boost refugee numbers “by 700% from the most unstable, vulnerable, dangerous parts of the world,” the ad claimed.

Trump last year approved a plan to dramatically reduce the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. in 2020 to 18,000, a move sharply criticized by religious and humanitarian groups. Biden vowed to increase the country’s annual global refugee target to 125,000 in recognition of the nation’s humanitarian traditions and ideals.

The Trump ad continued, “America can’t afford a weak Joe Biden,” over an image of Biden with his hand on his forehead.

Many, many people know what grief feels like.

200,000 or more families are feeling it raw and fresh thanks to Dump's vicious uselessness on the pandemic crisis.


This only plays to the hateful base, and he has them already.

Trump's susceptibility to flattery by tyrants, to the point of giving away the store. I have never known anyone whose character was as weak as Trump's. Of course he doesn't understand human emotion over the loss of a son; Trump is a sociopath.
