Good. Maybe if they keep pushing his buttons with these ads, he'll have a meltdown "like no one has ever seen" and his cabinet of boot lickers will be forced to invoke the 25th amendment.

Ask yourself this, would "experts" have EVER advised any President Clinton to take these extreme measures? Not just, No. Hell, no! As indeed they did not urge any such to Obama in the 2009 pandemic.

What extreme measures?

Most of the measures have come from the state level due to impotent leadership from the white house.

Trump is easily played he just makes a fool of himself in front of the American people who are suffering right now. I didn't even know about these attack ads until I saw Trump going off about them I went looked at them. The GOP must be reeling from his comments he made. The problem all he does is pump his MAGA hatters while voters who he needs ones in the middle run from him.

Put out by the Lincoln Project. They got $1,000,000 in donations after Trump bashed it.

Another one coming out soon. Rick Wilson, one of the group, said Trump will hate the new one even more than "Mourning in America."

Exactly!

Of course not. Anything to generate chaos on Trump's watch.

Exactly! They play the ads on Fox.

If you believe any democrat would have not made similar decisions about "printing money," got news for ya. History proves otherwise. So blame one man? Not so fast.

As for the virus, democrats did nothing. They were too intent on impeachment and did nothing. They accused him of racism when blocking China flights. China knew about person-to-person transmission, prohibited travel in and out of Wuhan but infected the entire world by not blocking international travel. During this time, they collected PPE from all nations they could, to protect themselves. What they did stinks to high heaven.

Of course anything positive will be ignored, that's the typical MO.

Here's a list for you by a center-right organization on this guy, until the pandemic from China hit.

* Jobs – The stunning recent news on employment proves, more than any other metric, the efficacy of President Trump’s growth doctrine of economic nationalism and the diffusion of power. Defying globalist skeptics from Wall Street, academia, and the corporate media, payrolls surged in America in 2019.

* Broadening the Movement – 2019 represented a seminal breakout year for the America First movement as the Republican Party changes to a workers’ party. This new focus translates, already, into significant signs of ethnic, racial, and geographic diversity for the GOP. For example, a recent CNN poll in deeply blue California reported 32% minority support for Trump vs. current Democratic front-runner Joe Biden. Similarly, recent polls by The Hill and Emerson show Latino approval for the president at nearly 40%.

* Confronting China – Though a near-term détente in trade tensions was reached, Trump proved to the world in 2019 that tariffs can be effectively deployed to force the Chinese Communist Party into a bargaining posture. The soaring economy in America demonstrated that tough trade policy can indeed coincide with growth.

* Trade Deals With Allies – In contrast to the mostly contentious trade chess match with Beijing, Trump proved that America First hardly means America alone. The USMCA was finally ratified by the House of Representatives this year and points to a new era of prosperity with our neighbors as the global supply chain reorients from the Far East back to the Americas. Similarly, a breakthrough agreement was signed with Japan and the new U.S.-Korea trade pact took effect in early 2019.

* Judges – While Nancy Pelosi dithers and corporate media obsess over the sham impeachment inquest, President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mitchell quietly pile up a historic pace of judicial confirmations. Trump in 2019 secured his 50th federal appeals court judge in only three years, compared to just 55 for President Obama over eight years. Over the long term, remaking the federal judiciary into an originalist, constitutionalist branch of government may create Trump’s most enduring legacy.

There's more.

Horsehockey. All of it. Tariffs ruined the stock market and the farmers, and tax cut boondoggle has destabilized us financially - leaving country ill-prepared to deal with this black swan. Trump and the craven greedy GOP have destroyed this country. We haven't begun to see the wreckage - made ten times worse because our balance sheet was shot long before the virus. With 'patriots' like these, US doesn't need enemies.
