Trump promoted an ad from The Lincoln Project last night on his Truth Social megaphone. He probably wouldn't have seen it but they ran it on Fox News, probably for that exact purpose, so they're probably giddy about his response. The ad itself is a typical one for them, not really designed to move the needle so much among voters as raise contributions for them. So, Trump is happy as he got to rage about something last night and The Lincoln Project are happy as more money flowed in as soon as he did.

Donald Trump attacked the Lincoln Project on Monday night with claims the anti-Trump political advocacy group is using artificial intelligence to make the former president look bad. The only problem? There’s no evidence the Lincoln Project’s ad uses anything but authentic footage of Trump.

“The perverts and losers at the failed and once disbanded Lincoln Project, and others, are using A.I.(Artificial Intelligence) in their Fake television commercials in order to make me look as bad and pathetic as Crooked Joe Biden, not an easy thing to do,” Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social late Monday.

Trump went on to complain Fox News shouldn’t run ads from the Lincoln Project, perhaps giving a hint at where he saw the TV commercial. But the ads are also available online through YouTube and X, formerly known as Twitter. And they appear to utilize clips that are pretty well known gaffes from both Trump’s presidency and his 2024 presidential campaign.

The ad, titled “Feeble” on YouTube, opens with an infamous shot of Trump staring at an eclipse, and uses a lot of other footage that’s not necessarily made up of gaffes but rather lowlights from the Trump presidency, where people seem disgusted with the 45th president.
