ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Former President Donald Trump's campaign will air two 30-second advertisements during Thursday night's debate with President Joe Biden.

One of these advertisements titled 'Who’s Laughing Now,' suggests Biden would be unable to serve a full second term due to his physical stumbles.

The second advertisements 'Promises' critiques Biden's immigration and economic policies, questioning the progress made under his administration.

Donald Trump campaign's advertisement highlights Joe Biden's incompetence for next four years if elected 

The 'Who’s Laughing Now' advertisement features images of Biden stumbling on the stairs of Air Force One, falling off his bike, and other incidents.

The advertisement claims that Biden regularly becomes lost on stage while exaggerating these occurrences, NBC News noted. 

"Do you think the guy who was defeated by the stairs ... got taken down by his bike ... lost a fight with his jacket ... and regularly gets lost ... makes it four more years in the White House?" the advertisement asks.

Republicans have continuously attacked Biden’s age, but the new advertisement  leans into fearmongering around Vice President Kamala Harris, hoping that her presence will be a drag on the ticket.

It continues, "And you know who’s waiting behind him, right? Vote Joe Biden today, and Kamala Harris tomorrow. I’m Donald Trump, and I approve this message."

Donald Trump campaign's advertisement questions Joe Biden's economic and security policies

The 'Promises' advertisement asks viewers if they are better off financially since Biden took office or if the country is more secure.

The advertisement features headlines about inflation, the situation at the southern border, and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"No matter what Joe Biden promised in the debate, ask yourself: Are you financially better off since he became president? Are you and your family safer since he became president? Is our country more secure since he became president?" the narration goes. 

The narrator concludes, "It’s time to make America prosperous and strong again. Donald Trump for president."



 

CNN is set to host the first of two scheduled debates between Trump and Biden in Atlanta at 9 pm EDT.

The second debate will take place in September and be hosted by ABC News.

In a shift from past years, CNN will have two commercial breaks during Thursday’s 90-minute debate. According to SEMAFOR, CNN was asking around $1.5 million minimum for top-tier advertisement slots.

Internet reacts to Donald Trump's campaign advertisement 

In response to the advertisement, one supporter reacted on X, saying, "Great Campaign Ad," while another commented, "Laugh or cry. Not sure what to do."

One X user wrote, "This is sad because it is sooooo true," and one more comment on YouTube read, "This debate runs the risk of Trump being charged with elder abuse."

One more comment read, "That scares me almost as much as Biden himself - Kamala as President. We can't let that happen."

One suggested, "Trump should buy up all the commercial airtime during the debate and run all these ads."

Another comment about the 'Promise's' ad read, "Old Joe forgets all his promises as soon as he says them!"
