Joe Biden Drops Brutal Mother's Day Ad Attacking Donald Trump

Source: Newsweek

Published May 12, 2024 at 4:33 PM EDT | Updated May 12, 2024 at 5:17 PM EDT


President Joe Biden's campaign dropped a brutal Mother's Day ad on Sunday attacking Donald Trump's past and proposed policies regarding mothers and women.

It's six months until the presidential election and Biden has ramped up insults about his political rival Trump, who has relentlessly attacked Biden since his 2020 campaign. With Biden as the Democratic incumbent and Trump the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, November is looking like a heated rematch between the two. One voting block that the Biden campaign is focusing on is women following abortion bans that states have enacted after the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in 2022.

On Sunday, Biden's campaign released an ad that started off tranquil with scenes of mothers with their children and the words, "Happy Mother's Day" written on the bottom.

Then, the screen goes black with only the words, "But not from Donald Trump."

And the juvenile response from Cheung:

In response to the ad, Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek via email on Sunday, "What a sad, miserable, cowardly existence Crooked Joe Biden and his campaign must have to make such a disgusting ad on such a joyous day. Their lives are obviously filled with anger, hate, and resentment because they clearly suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. President Trump continues to live rent free in their pea-sized brains, even on Mother's Day."

Just used the same old phrases... crooked Joe biden... filled with anger and hate... Trump derangement syndrome... lives rent free...

They must copy and paste these phrases from the Republican snappy comeback binder.

... because they don't have anything of substance to say.

Maybe it's good to reinforce reinforce motivation for people who are already engaged and paying attention

Maybe more ominous music. Something like the darth vader theme. Black and white or some other effect.

If they're looking at it closely, someone might even think it's a pro-Donnie ad. I mean it features Donnie and he's saying it's working well and people are happy.

Good idea but I think it could have been done better.

Normal human beings wish a happy mother's day, followed by Smelvis in his own words denigrating and controlling women. The kind of ad that pulls at emotions, and creates an impression no one will forget. Women will not be swayed by Trump.

Trump is a sack of dead meat that is being pushed onto stages with a ton of drugs.

The curse is the powers that want him and the party to disrupt true democracy.

By attacking the (R) in total, we will win even if trump is withdrawn from his titular head (not the small penis one) or the party. Oh, and throw in all the (L)iebertarians also.

Lots of days left for politics. Today should be just a message of appreciation to women.

Trump does the opposite.

...they should go even farther...

...they should use trump's "...grab'em by the pussy..." in a multiple of ads...

...we wouldn't want Joe or Kamala saying it but it should be in ads reminding people just what a scumbag the king magat really is...

...imagine if Joe or Kamala had said something like that in an interview on tape...?

...use it...
