The ad claims the President willingly slowed down testing for COVID-19 to keep the coronavirus numbers low.
This resulted in the number of deaths skyrocketing. According to MeidasTouch, this makes the President of the United States guilty of murder in the second degree. According to the latest COVID-19 death count, this would be 121,178 crimes of murder, and counting.
There’s a word for it. It’s called “democide” pic.twitter.com/mvxBLDwWlw

It starts with grainy footage of the President at a podium, saying:
“So I said to my people, slow the testing down please!”
Then it cuts to a dictionary definition:
Murder: (n) the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought
It pans in on these words, in stark black and white, and allows the accusation to linger with the viewer. The effect is truly chilling.
This was brilliant. I felt like I was watching some psychological horror movie, but unfortunately it’s reality. And it’s terrifying. #TrumpKillsUS

Trump has allowed 120,000 Americans to die, and it continues to rise. We’re not over phase 1 yet. Testing is still not available to everyone. PPE is still scarce.Wearing masks is not mandatory.If you still think he’s not killing us, don’t wait until it’s you. pic.twitter.com/fbWPw1ykSr— 🆘AvA (@AvA4Bleue) June 24, 2020

Twitter can always find the jokes…
I think we all know why Trump didn’t want to “ramp up” the testing. pic.twitter.com/o3IEL4A8gw

The add splices footage of Trump boasting about his lack of testing, and somber images of mass graves and hospital patients on gurneys. Trump calls testing “overrated” and is cut off by a clip of Dr. Fauci stressing: “We absolutely need testing.”
I'm not a doctor or lawyer, but it sure seems like a "president" admitting he intentionally slowed down testing of the most deadly disease we've seen is a pretty big fucking crime.

Let’s call it what it is, suggests the ad, “Murder on a mass scale.” It closes with the hashtag: #TrumpKillsUs, with the word ‘kills’ in a blood red.
The hashtag is exploding on social media.
Raise your hand and retweet this if you're sick of a Republican controlled government where #TrumpKillsUS, and his party members aid and abet him!

As the White House attempts to laugh off accusations that the President deliberately slowed down testing after his claim during the Tulsa Rally, the message of this ad is clear: This is no joke, but murder on a mass scale.
