The first advertisement of the 2020 presidential campaign to really get under President Trump’s skin was the substantially coronavirus-themed “Mourning in America” spot taken out by the Never Trump Lincoln Project.
“A group of RINO Republicans who failed badly 12 years ago, then again 8 years ago, and then got BADLY beaten by me, a political first timer, 4 years ago, have copied (no imagination) the concept of an ad from Ronald Reagan, ‘Morning in America,’” Trump tweeted indignantly. His reelection campaign later sent out a statement slamming the “Lincoln Project losers” as “scam artists” and “political bottom feeders” who are duping “Democrat donors” out of their money. (In fact, the group reported raising $1 million in a single day after the president’s tweet.)
