Democratic PAC Launching Ads Attacking Trump On Issues That Actually Matter

The group American Bridge PAC is spending millions of dollars on a new ad campaign to remind American voters how bad Donald Trump actually was as president. By attacking him on policy issues instead of personal issues, the group is hoping that people remember just how terrible those 4 years were. The issues that they're talking about in the ads include his response to Hurricane Maria, COVID, tax cuts for the wealthy, and the multiple attempts to destroy the Affordable Care Act, among other things. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why these types of attacks are so necessary.

A Democratic super PAC has decided to spend a couple million dollars on a new ad campaign that is according to reports, simply called this Effing Guy. The ad campaign, of course, is against Donald Trump, but it does something that I absolutely love, right? See, right now you got folks like me, you got the other folks in the progressive media online and, and even on cable news, to an extent, we are talking a lot about Donald Trump's indictments, his response to them, the Republicans defending them. So we've got that covered. The Biden administration is staying silent on it as they should, because if they start talking about it, it is going to look political. So they're doing their job by saying nothing. We are doing our job by talking about it and talking about how serious it is an American Bridge. This group I'm talking about has come along and they said, well, we're going to remind people of how horrible Donald Trump is at being a leader.

And that is a powerful message, something that honestly we should be doing a better job of. I thought I was doing a good job, but they're bringing up things that even I had completely forgotten about. Here's what it is. Let me read this. Uh, it starts with a quote here from American Bridge, president Pat Dennis in a press release. He said, quote, it's easy to forget the unnecessary drama that Donald Trump and his clown Car of Shady Associates created on a regular basis. Because we've been experiencing the benefits of President Biden's responsible leadership. American Bridge is going to take charge in reminding everyone just how annoying and anxiety raising the Trump years were. As voters head to the ballot box next November, the group plans to highlight Mr. Trump's efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, his passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as his mishandling of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, his drawing of moral equivalences between the alt-right and left, as well as his meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.

So I think that's brilliant. Like this is actually going after him a little bit for the things he said, right? You know, the be good, bad people on both sides, but mostly about the policy thing. Like he let Puerto Rico go to hell because he had an ax to grind with their political leaders down there. I mean, this, the same can be said by the way, for for many other H hurricanes that happened while he was president of the United States. We can't forget Sharpie Gate, where like we see like, like he made that the issue instead of the massive devastation that we had down here in Florida. Um, which Ron DeSantis also did a very poor job of handling, uh, the California wildfires when he was like, Hey, well, you gotta vacuum. You gotta sweep the, the forest floor. Then you don't get these things leaving them out to dry by not giving them the federal aid because he was in a fight with Gavin Newsom. I mean, all of these things folks, and those are wonderful things for
