Democrats troll Trump by greeting him with clips of Fox News announcing his election loss

The Democratic National Committee trolled former President Donald Trump on Saturday by greeting him outside a conference center ahead of a speech, with a provocative mobile billboard campaign.

Videos flashed on a large screen attached to a truck across the street from the Tampa Conference Center ahead of Trump's speech at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, DailyMail.com reported.

The mobile billboard also circled the city of Tampa, according to a press release by the DNC, to remind people of the 2020 election results.

The videos showed graphics highlighting Trump's election loss in November 2020 and the number of votes won by President Joe Biden.

4. DNC should take a page from Lincoln Project's playbook

Buy time on the Golf Channel and show commercials replaying TFG's loss. Since most of the TVs at his sand trap golf clubs are turned to either Der Sturmer (Faux News) or Golf Channel, they would get visibility inside the clubhouse.

6. My neighbor, a neurosurgeon, took her 2 kids to this conference. Her other daughter is a progressive

and a brilliant student. But my neighbor who is a successful physician and business woman is for far down the Q rabbit hole that we don’t talk much any more. And, she was the first one to sign up for a PPP loan although she loathes government.

8. His current message is that he received more votes than any presidential candidate in history

What he neglects to mention is that both of his opponents received millions more votes than he did!

9. They like to roll the two elections together and cheer about the total # of votes across both

Of course, that has little to do with reality, but then again this is Trump we're talking about.

10. And of course, he's still insisting he "won" - even at this late date, despite all his lawsuit failures

But those who attend his "rallies" only listen to his lies rather than following actual news...

11. My fantasy is that some ruling against him permanently forbids him to claim that he won the election

Before any of our armchair attorneys jump in to tell me how wrong I am, I repeat that this is a fantasy.

I also have a fantasy that strokes out on live tv so hard that the top of his skull blows off and his eyes pop from their sockets.


I could go on.

12. The thing is, he's been repeatedly called out on his lies, but we have those still in Republican

Leadership continuing to repeat them, though they certainly know better. He lost badly, he's no longer POTUS, and every single lawsuit in every state was thrown out. But there are still high ranking Republicans who refuse to admit that Joe Biden - who's been in office for a year and a half - is the current president! How insane is that?? It's not just TFG's lies, which his deluded "followers" continue to believe, but those still in national office. They need to be called out as well.

13. I've called out a local state Rep repeatedly on his FB page

He posts a ton of masturbatory "vote for me because I'm Conservative" bullshit, so I make it a point of asking if he'll state on the record that Trump lost in 2020.

Of course he hasn't done so, and Trump's kkkult of droolers attacks me in response, but it helps me blow off a little steam.

14. The thing is, these MAGAts are anything but "conservative," anyone who still believes TFG is not

They can say it all they want, but they've lost the meaning of the term. Liz Cheney is a conservative - and they're running against her. They've also lost whatever the Republican party stood for, TFG has no platform or political beliefs, he's only in it for power and whatever money he can grift, that's it. Republicans of old believed in "small government." Those who continue to support TFG are supporting an autocracy, not the Constitution.

And good for you! I may be in New York, but I'm stuck with Stefanik as a Rep. There was a telephone "Town Hall" this weekend, but I've since learned that any constituent who uttered anything that was not supportive of her self-serving message was automatically blocked. She's clearly one of the worst, voting against any bill designed to help the people, then taking credit for it if it passes. And she's gotten worse ever since she appeared on national TV alongside Gym Jordan at the impeachment hearings - her "claim to fame."

This was the result throughout NY-21, which she ignored:
