A new ad by the media group MeidasTouch gets to the heart of the matter: “Are you better off?”
Using a speech given by Ronald Reagan, the anti-Trump ad shows many of the ways that Trump has made things “better” since taking his place in the Oval Office.
When Reagan asks “are you better off than you were four years ago,” the video shows images of people dealing with coronavirus while there is an echo of Trump calling it a hoax in the background. When Reagan talks about unemployment, MeidasTouch inserted footage of the long lines at food banks and headlines showing the skyrocketing unemployment rate.
It is a powerful message.
The video ends with Reagan suggesting “another choice” over clips of Joe Biden speaking to cheering crowds.

People have an answer for Reagan: No, we are not better off!
From Service Members to the Service Industry the answer is a resounding no, Americans are not better off than we were four years ago.

Some Twitter users are sure that Ronald Reagan would be team Biden in 2020.
Ronald Reagan would have voted for Joe Biden.
