The Trump campaign just released a cease and desist letter demanding that TV stations immediately pull this ad
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
They are claiming that it is deceptive and misleading, not using the facts and taking things out of context to lie about what Trump has said.
Their entire argument hinges on the initial use of the word "hoax" in that one statement. They claim Trump was referring to the Democrats coming up with a hoax attack to get at him, not that he said COVID-19 was a hoax. It's all in that cease and desist link included in the Tweet.
Hopefully they'll update this one at the end of each month, while also including the number of deaths. It truly shows you how fast this shit is spreading when a video released on March 17th had the total number of cases at 5000 and now we have double that on a daily basis.
I can't wrap my head around the difference. I can't follow the link so maybe it's answered there (my internet is being shitty at the moment so might just be me). What was the hoax Dems were supposedly coming up with exactly?
I'm cutting and pasting direct from the C&D order:

One could say he's the best at understanding things right. The best of the best nobody better.
It was taken out of context defense lmao. He goes into playing up deaths from the flu right after he said this. That is the context.
This is the second or third ad I've seen with similar content. There's one that mentions Presidents stepping up to handle a crisis then switches to Trump and shows him calling it a hoax, saying he takes no responsibility and ending with a statement that he failed.
Good... good...
Good... good...

I literally don't understand. He was saying the way Dems were politicising it was a hoax? The fuck does even mean!?!?
This is the part I should have included earlier, though I don't know whether this actually clears things up:
Disagree, the one from Priorities USA has the same message (numbers kept increasing, he pretended it was nothing, then refuses to take responsibility) in 30 seconds, whereas the other takes near a minute and a half, with barely more of a message. It's more detailed, and shows snippets of like 20 different speeches, but an effective ad doesn't need to be expansive, it just needs to get to the point quickly, and effectively.
Why is anyone bothering to argue this point? Trump has no idea what he's saying, he just repeats a couple lines his handlers tell him 5 minutes before he has to speak publicly.
When that doesn't stick, he just rambles about whatever grievance he thinks he can leverage to move the conversation elsewhere.
Of course he said it was a hoax, of course he downplayed the severity and ignored the warnings from his own people. Arguing about syntax and context is just a circle-jerk that wastes pixels and oxygen.
Who the fuck are we trying to convince? Play the damn ad, and then make 10 more just like it for Facebook. He'll say something equally as gross next week, and the week after that and those will get air time too. There is no need to even debate with idiots about authenticity, because any moron stupid enough to try and sell that shit as fact wasn't in a million years going to admit they were wrong in their assessment of his job.

Fucker isn't even hiding that it's a SLAPP suit.

Trump campaign threatens legal action over liberal super PAC ad
President Trump’s reelection campaign is threatening legal action against television stations in key battleground states if they continue airing an ad cut by the liberal super PAC Priorities USA al…

Damn, that's a brutal ad. It's nice and easy to understand for all the baby boomers. Hopefully it keeps playing.
Thick spray tan. He's still ghostly white around the eyes and hairline.
His natural skin color is "old man's white" which looks frail and weak. So he decided to cover it up in fake tan to appear "vigorous" and "youthful". But the man doesn't know restraint so he goes overboard with it, making him look comical.
I've gotten so sick of people saying "tHe aDs wRiTe tHeMsELvEs!" after Trump's biggest gaffes only to have nobody actually write the ads. Good to see Dem groups starting to put some muscle behind the messaging. Now if only we could saturate the airwaves like Bloomberg did...
As someone who doesn't watch TV, thanks for trying to shut this down so I could be made aware of it, I guess?
They're just going to claim it's CG trickery from the Democrats, and claim they watched those same clips and he didn't say that when they fall back on their far more honest, accurate and objective memory of events.
That video is amazing, I hope they keep making more and I hope this spreads the way it deserves too
they're actually seem way worse than China is at pulling it off
We are actually way worse because the CCP wont have any repercussions or face any punitive measures when they lie. We have to go to greater lengths to mislead and propagate falsehoods.
The reasons are there at the link in the tweet. That he was calling the Democrats politicising the crisis a hoax, not the crisis itself.
