In reply to the discussion: New Lincoln Project ad #TrumpIsNotWell is off the chain! [View all]StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)32. You're missing the point entirely
It's a 45-second ad, not a documentary. The point is to trigger the conversation and coverage. This does that. You can bet that by tomorrow, all of the networks will be showing the ad , discussing his impairment and augmenting the discussions with numerous clips of the kind you're talking about.
And if this reminds them of their elderly relatives, great. They don't think Trump is elderly or shaky and definitely don't think he's like their elderly relatives. He sells himself as vibrant, youthful and the healthiest specimen of a man anyone ever knew. If this makes them think he's like the old, infirm people they know, that's a pretty humiliating comedown for him.

Another lesson from our frienemies - they're really aggressive in pushing these on soc media.

The fact that Trump can't bring water to his mouth with one hand is being used in Biden adds

We already had one president that spent the last part of his term hiding his affliction.

Here's why this ad is helpful: "Strike first". He wanted to project this on Biden.
