This would be comical if it wasn’t so contemptable. Not to mention repetitive. Donald Trump has a habit of taking photographs from his own disastrous four-year stint and putting them in his campaign ads, attributing the images of chaos and calamity to events which never took place under Joe Biden. He’s done it again. Forbes did an analysis of the image you see above.
The first thing people will probably notice in the ad is a photo of a burning cop car. But that photo was taken in Chicago, Illinois on May 30, 2020. Trump was president from January 20, 2017 until January 20, 2021, which means the image you’re seeing happened on Trump’s watch.
The photo was published by outlets like the Daily Mail and AZ Central on May 31, 2020, not long after footage surfaced of police officers killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020. One of the cops placed his knee on Floyd’s neck while the other cops sat by and didn’t do anything to stop the killing. […]
What about the image on the right of Biden, showing people wading through some water? Again, that image is from Trump’s time in office.
The photo was captured by photographer Moises Castillo and was distributed to media outlets through the Associated Press. And while Trump’s presidential campaign probably wants to make it look like the photo depicts migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, it doesn’t even depict that. The photo actually shows migrants crossing from Mexico to Guatemala.
And then there’s gas prices and the Chinese spy balloon. Yes, gas prices spiked for a while in 2022. It also should be noted that in 2020, when the pandemic hit, a lot of people weren’t driving as much and so gas prices decreased for a while. Any true analysis of gas prices from 2020 to 2023 should include that fact.
As to the Chinese spy balloon Trump officials admitted that spy balloons flew overhead when Trump was in office, too. This wasn’t some brand new and unique occurrence.
In summation, Trump is doing what he does best: lying.
“In summation, Trump is doing what he does best: lying.” Trump would not know the truth even if it came up and bit him on his nose. I think that he doesn’t even know what the word “truth” actually means. He hasn’t ever used it which is why he would not what it is. Ask his niece, Mary Trump. Read her book, “Too Much and Never Enough.”
Reminds me of the time Faux news was railing against black NFL players for supporting Colin in protest of violence against black folks. They were indignant that players weren’t standing with hands over hearts during the anthem. To make their point they showed a number of players kneeling holding hands, claiming this was an example. Problem was it was an old photo of players kneeling IN PRAYER before a game. SMARTEN UP AMERICA! Time to pull our collective heads out of our collective asses.
