Trump begs "like a dog": Lincoln Project's brutal new ad is a real sucker-punch

When it comes to campaign ads, the Lincoln Project is the Chuck Norris of the virtual political arena. The group of high-profile Republicans is incredibly quick on the draw.

Just hours after reporters began leaking titbits from the tell-all memoir by Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton, the Lincoln Project had already released a new video. It is a real gut punch to the Trump campaign.

The Lincoln Project dropped the Bolton bomb into their new ad: “Chyna.”

Bolton claimed Trump asked for China’s help to win the forthcoming election. The ad humiliates Trump as “weak, corrupt, ridiculed.” It portrays the President as the lapdog of China. “China’s got his number” booms the narrator over footage of Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping.

Trump “begged … like a dog.

The ad argues Trump “begged” China to help him win the 2020 election “like a dog.” This image was a brutal jab that went viral on Twitter.

Quick on the trigger

In an extract from “The Room Where it Happened,” Bolton alleges Trump asked Xi Jinping to help him win the forthcoming election. The Wall Street Journal only published the excerpt on Wednesday. This shows how quick on the trigger the Lincoln Project is.

Trump has built his reelection campaign on the image of a robust foreign policy and tough stance.

But the ad shatters this image by showing the President foolishly wandering into China’s hand at every step.

“Trade negotiations? China won.”

“Trump’s tariffs? They laughed as Trump hit American families with higher taxes.”

“Trump’s trade war? Farms and small businesses went bankrupt.”

Trump’s policy backfires every time

The ad exposes Trump’s foreign policy with China as backfiring to hurt America. Ahead of the President’s “phase one” deal with China last year, Trump inflicted harsh tariffs on Chinese imports. Americans paid the price.

Trump has fired back in his recent tweets and campaign ads that his rival Joe Biden is weak and subservient to China. U.S. and China relations are likely to become a central talking point in the upcoming election.

In for the kill

Perhaps in an allusion to Trump’s finger-pointing to Biden’s supposed weakness, this latest ad goes in for the kill: the military.

The gravelly voice of the narrator declares that China’s military is “expanding without American leadership in the region.” The camera rolls over ranks of Chinese soldiers perfectly lined up. A car drives President Xi Jinping past his vast army. In the next shot, the Chinese President and Trump walk before soldiers in formation. Trump looks powerless: “Trump rolls over for China’s president every time.”

The reason for Trump’s subservience to China? The ad pulls out all the stops. First, it refers to Ivanka Trump’s secret deals with China. Or could it be the “$250 million debt Trump owed the Bank of China?”

According to the narrator, “It doesn’t matter.” When it comes to Trump, “China can’t lose.”

Twitter can’t get enough
