Trump launches massive ad buy seizing on Friday's jobs report

[RandySF]

Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is moving swiftly to capitalize on Friday’s unexpectedly favorable jobs numbers with a massive $10 million ad buy presenting the president as the protagonist in an economic comeback story.

The spot seizes on news that 2.5 million jobs were created in May despite coronavirus ravaging on the country, highlighting Trump’s work in “bringing devastated industries back” and “getting direct cash relief to families.”

“The great American comeback has begun,” the ad says. “Renewing. Restoring. Rebuilding. Together, we’ll make America great again.”

Trump had long intended on running for reelection on a turbocharged economy, but his plan was upended by the pandemic. After weeks of grim economic news, he seized Friday on the new jobs numbers used a hastily-called press conference to take a victory lap and to boast about how forecasters got it wrong. It was, he said, the “greatest miscalculation in the history of business shows.”

1. We Need To Up Our Sales Game

Bragging about 13% UE is so easy to mock & refute. We need dems in office to immediately start mocking it. Before the ads even run!

2. Spiking the football on the 20

Their own 20.

I don’t think they can erase everyone’s minds of his optics and horrific performance.

This sounds like it came from Trump. They are keeping him happy. Makes for a better weekend.

4. Cook the books...THE BIG LIE!

Sell the charred remains. Pull out the playbook, General Orange. The Trumpfallacy is getting really worn out, but you have to keep telling the big lies over and over and over, no matter what. Some people are easily swayed by them and simply believe the lie if it is big enough.

A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique and logical fallacy. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist and antisemitic political leader in the Weimar Republic.

6. The truth will out. We already know there is an egregious "error" in the report.

I am confident more will be found, and the backstory will leak out from angry BLS professionals.

9. Do we believe the stock markets down only 10% from their all time,

manipulated highs, reflect unemployment numbers and their domino effects - for a long time to come.

munchkin was amazed at the economic 'tools' he had . . . to work with.

November is still a ways off, and they won't age well.

14. Since the divorce...

The poor stock market has been a bit lonely without Main St., so all it needs is some seductive and manipulative diddles, (tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies) and it gets fully aroused. The scent of ecstasy is wafting about.

Things have not been the same since they got the full settlement in the divorce. We got the old car, an older dog and an occasional, cheap hotel room when we can find and afford one.
