Trump is losing. Not according to opinion, hunches, or a desperate hope for change — but according to the polls.
Data released by the Washington Post and ABC News shows Joe Biden is crushing Trump in national polls, with a 10 percent lead. Enter the Lincoln Project with a killer new viral video.
The Lincoln Project knows exactly where to strike: Trump’s ego.

The polls are not a crystal ball. However, they are a reflection of the voting sentiment at a particular time. And at this time, in the face of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the devastating West Coast wildfires, and the recent hurricanes, the majority of voters place their trust in Joe Biden.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death shook both candidates, and voters are divided over her controversial likely replacement: Amy Coney Barrett. The unrest sparked by the death of George Floyd and the subsequent debate over police misconduct also continues to divide the nation.
In critical constituencies — the people choose Biden.
Older Americans, white college graduates, these groups favor Biden. They are also reliable voters. With political moderates, Biden is leading by 47 points (compared to Hilary Clinton’s 12 points back in 2016). Trump may continue to hold sway over his popular base - but the rest of the nation chooses Biden.
Expert psychiatrists have diagnosed the President with a narcissistic personality disorder. Trump is openly obsessed with ratings and his own popularity.
The Lincoln Project knows Trump well. Their latest ad: Whispers II, play to the President’s delusions of grandeur and paranoia.
Twitter went wild in support of the video

The video takes the approach of addressing Trump. The female narrator uses an almost pitying tone as she opens: “We warned you, Donald Trump, but you didn’t listen.” The video goes on to play footage of Trump woven with clips of his staff or supporters, “They laugh that you don’t get it,” the narrator says.
At one point, a crowd of people is shown chanting “Lock him up!” in a stadium, footage from the time Trump was booed at the Nat World Series last October.
Omg! This is so psychologically savvy. And it’s just so delicious. The whispers alone will drive him mad. Love it!!!!

To air in the DC media market for his viewing pleasure I hope? I heard the female voice narrating this is his favorite. Love that reminder of him getting booed at the Nats World Series game last year. 🔥😂

Whispers II took many users on a trip down memory lane. People agreed that Trump is not only losing, but unfit to be President after his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, willful ignoring of the bounties placed on American soldiers by Russia, and exploiting office for his own financial gain.
Never forget 200k Americans are dead due to utter incompetence of Trump and he’s trying to score political points by appointing an extreme candidate to the Supreme Court. He doesn’t deserve to appoint anyone and be president for 4 more seconds as he’s betrayed the oath of office.

Plus he knew about Russian bounties on our soldiers and did nothing. He doesn’t care about any of us or the Office. Just wants to keep grifting.

The sarcasm flowed thick and fast.
I’ve heard that a couple of hydroxycholorine tablets washed down with a glass of bleach and a clothes pin on your nose is the way to go.

After handshake use sanitizer.
During his opening say “Ebenezer.”
During SCOTUS question answer using Scrotum.
Wheeze and sniff often.
Wipe a booger on his lectern.
Whisper “Ivanka is watching.”

Through their latest ad, the Lincoln Project reminded many on Twitter of the many ways Trump has failed Americans. The imaginary new health care plan so often promised by the President. The glaring lack of leadership in the face of racial unrest, climate change, and the continuing pandemic. The list goes on.

Three years ago Trump said he would be doing infrastructure bill in two weeks and health care bill still none. you can fool the people once or twice but you can’t fool the people all the time,other than maga people you can fool them all the time

As one user added, hopefully, Jack Dorsey (the CEO of Twitter) will kick Trump off so that the nation can have a break from the President’s rants.
When Trump loses, I will enjoy watching Trump hotels/resorts/condos fail & forced to sell.
I predict much of his hotel empire will slowly move to Branson, Missouri; Jacksonville, Fl, Asheville, NC. Etc.
NYC, Chicago, LA will be sold because of falling revenue and brand damage. pic.twitter.com/6AiA8AdkXQ— Bay Area Man-Wear A Mask (@CliftKenneth) September 27, 2020
And after January 20, he will lose Bill Barr and his free lawyers, and all the”friends” he thinks he has.
And Dorsey better kick him off Twitter, we will need healing.— Doris Roberge (@roberge007) September 27, 2020

The video ends with the narrator reminding Trump that not only is he losing, but “everyone knows it except you.” Users reacted to the video by urging others to vote and cautioning against paperless voting.
In many states, in-person votes are counted before mail-in votes. If safe for you, do in-person paper voting (not paperless machine!) so Trump does not have an early Election Night lead, stop the vote count, and declare victory. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

When voting:
1. Follow ALL instructions VERY CAREFULLY!
2. TRIPLE-CHECK that you did all steps and filled out your choices.
3. TAKE A PICTURE of your completed ballot (for evidence, not sharing with others).
4. If possible, CONFIRM that your vote is received and counted.

I’ve donated time, money and effort in this election.
I voted early and in person this week. Actually cancelled my absentee ballot to do it.
If I die before the election, I wanted to make sure I did all I could do to defeat that orange tumor.— Unit_0 (@Unit_00001) September 27, 2020
