As more and more people come to realize just how terribly the President has bungled the country’s coronavirus response, the coronavirus attack ads are being churned out at a more rapid pace.

All of them point out how Trump has fumbled his response which is ultimately causing the death of thousands of Americans.

Here are the top five most powerful and thought-provoking ads:

The Recount, a “video-first political media brand,” has created a devastating clap back ad that slams his downplaying of a global pandemic.

The ad sent social media into a frenzy with the way it collected all of Trump’s lies in a calendar format.

This pro-Biden ad put out by the Hometown Values PAC questions Trump’s lackadaisical approach to coronavirus.

Hometown Values takes aim at the lack of urgency —highlighting things like Trump telling reporters “I’m not concerned” and when he claimed his administration would do something “later.”

It ends with a declaration: “We need leadership. Now!”

Who has the right approach on this crisis?

This 30-second ad created by Priorities USA, a Democratic super PAC, condemns Trump for claiming coronavirus was a “hoax” and then standing by while thousands and thousands of people were infected.

The visual of the graph ticking up with each new infection while Trump praises himself makes for a powerful visual. So powerful, in fact, the Trump campaign threatened legal action against stations that aired the spot.
