4:10Now PlayingThe Trump campaign has launched a new run of ads in the state of Georgia, but these ads aren’t likely to gain him any votes. The ads somehow mistook the state of Georgia for the country of Georgia, and they showed imagery of the European country throughout the ad. The images of the rolling hills of Georgia is clearly labeled on the stock image website where the image was pulled from, so it would take a MAJOR moron to not see the mistake. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Remember when Donald Trump, uh, first, you know, burst onto the political scene, and then through 2016, he ends up winning the electoral college and he promised us that he was only gonna pack his administration with quote the best people. Well, turns out, as we all know from his first administration, that never happened. But it's also good to see that throughout the years since he left office, he is still clearly not hiring the best people. In fact, he appears to be employing nothing but morons for his campaign. And the reason I say that is because his campaign is in hot water this week over a new digital ad that they're running in the state of Georgia that features the Rolling Hills of Georgia with text that says, register to vote for Trump. The problem with that, of course, is that those rolling hills of Georgia are not from the state of Georgia, but from the European country of Georgia. But you may be thinking to yourself, Hey, that's an honest mistake, right? Anybody could confuse the country of Georgia for the state of Georgia, right? It's not like the image on Shutterstock was clearly labeled. Well, actually, the caption on the image that was taken from Shutterstock says quote, cloudy morning view of the mountain hill in uppers, Fania, Georgia, Europe.
Okay? So maybe whoever grabbed the graphic didn't read it, even though it clearly says Georgia Europe, may, may, maybe they just thought, Hey, this idiot labeled the photo wrong. I'm gonna put it in the ad anyway. It's not like anybody's gonna notice except for the fact that literally everybody noticed. Not to mention that, but this same graphic that they use to show the state of Georgia, even though it was the country of Georgia, is actually the exact same image that the United States State Department uses on their website for the country of Georgia. So the State Department was able to figure it out. Those employees didn't, uh, struggle with trying to find the difference between the state and the country. They, they grabbed the image from Shutterstock and put it as the header on their website for the country of Georgia. So other people have seen it and were able to discern what it was, but not Trump's people. Oh no. They stuck it in there and said, whatever, nobody's gonna notice. Um, Amar Musa, who is the director of Rapid response for the Harris campaign, tweeted out yikes, top-notch operation. And the reason I'm talking about this is not just because it's funny and it is funny, don't get me wrong, but it's due to the fact that Donald Trump hires morons. Like that's the point of this.
The image was clearly labeled as being from the country of Georgia in Europe, but he hired people that are so dumb, they didn't read like it's one sentence, and they couldn't be bothered with that. This is how little they care about the campaign. It's clearly how little the Trump campaign cares about the state of Georgia, but it shows that this man picks some of the dumbest people imaginable to run things for him. And if you think it would be any different if he got back into the White House than you are kidding yourselves. If anything, it'll be worse. We kind of need people that know the difference between a state and a country, but not for Donald Trump. And this is what happens when the only thing you value is loyalty instead of course of intelligence.
