Rick Wilson: Don't share the new Lincoln Project ad w/ Trump or family. It would be too upsetting. 😀

Rick Wilson
Please don’t share this ad with Donald Trump or any members of the Trump family.

First, it would be very upsetting for them and that would be wrong.

Second, J.D.‘s plan to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Trump from office is supposed to be a secret.

Even if you win, Donald, you lose. Those closest to you will make sure of it.

The ad plays right to his paranoia, which is likely getting the best of him with this new ad!

Vance was put in place by the billionaire tech bros who are throwing their money and support behind Trump just so they can install a smarter, more competent, more organized puppet who will do their bidding without impulsively screwing it all up. Trump gladly accepted Vance because he brought plenty of money with him - but that money isn't really for him. Vance is Himmler to Trump's Hitler. He'll make the trains to the camps run on time.

…and all billionaires will benefit from Project 2025. Should Trump get in the way of their agenda, the Cabinet and the 25th Amendment will kick in and kick him to the curb.

Me, I prefer to see them all get kicked to the curb. And they can take Project 2025 with them.

either pardon himself and everybody else and then step down for "health reasons". Trump doesn't want the job, he wants a way to stay out of prison and be a big hero to the Maga. Vance was selected to institute Project 2025 and who knows what he would choose for VP. I think the deal has been made with Trump long ago when he decided to run again.

There is definitely evil afoot.

Didn't Trump mention something about changing or revising the 25th Amendment? It was several weeks ago, a comment thrown out during a rally blathering. Thought it was strange then but chalked it up to paranoia from all the chatter at the end of his first term, his increasingly erratic behavior.

But a deal under the table doesn't sound all that off the charts. Anything to stay out of jail and the Tech Bros get their heart's desire: unlimited power in a world where all Americans are required to get over their democracy fetish.

Ugh!

Joe Biden was “mentally diminished”.

Pres Biden is miles above EX-Pres Trump’s mental acuity.

again, this reinforces why it’s so vital to ensure we keep the Senate and for other important reason why we need to win the House of Representatives.

If the Reps win it would unfortunately be Jim Jordon (God save our Government).
However, if the Dems win it would probably be Hakeem Jeffries (Thank the Lord)!

Rachel Maddow shows JD Vance explaining his lack of faith that democracy can deliver on his conservative ideals, and shows the influences behind Vance's preference that the United States government be gutted and instead run by a dictator.

know them, and institute an extremist ideology in their place. It explains why Vance was against Trump and then decided to join him. Trump wants to be a dictator and has a lot of support. Joining Trump as his VP puts Vance in a position to carry out this agenda that the tech billionaires and others have been trying to institute. Walz should have addressed some of this during the debate.

I also think a demented TFG is more controllable TFG and they'll prop him up like they did to senile old Reagan. A front man leading a cult, no matter how out to lunch he is, is vastly preferable to a guy like Vance, who is not revered by a cult.

Expect Vance to be pulling some of TFG's strings, but don't expect Artoc;e 25. It's how Republicans work.

However, we also should be terrified of this internal coup happening if DT wins. Maybe this will wake up a few undecided voters, if they see it.

Great ad though. Thanks for sharing it, DD.

I think that's EXACTLY what the Party wants to do. They'd have no issues getting Project 2025 up and running if something happened to TFG.
