WASHINGTON, DC: In a strategic move, Joe Biden's 2024 campaign team went on the offensive by launching a scathing attack ad on Truth Social, the social media platform owned by his political arch nemesis Donald Trump.

The timing is significant as President Biden ramps up his critique of the presumptive GOP nominee.

Unpacking the Ad

Uploaded on Wednesday afternoon, January 31, the attack ad on Truth Social attempted to dissect a series of recent gaffes committed by the former president during his 2024 campaign trail. The ad not only noted Trump's verbal missteps but also raised questions about his cognitive abilities and mental acuity ahead of the upcoming general election.

One notable clip featured Trump confusing his GOP primary challenger, Nikki Haley, with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, stating, "Nikki Haley is in charge of security...We offered her 10,000 people. They don’t want to talk about that.”

Another snippet showcased Trump claiming, "We won 50 states, right?" and yet another captured him saying, "We are an institute in a powerful death penalty. We will put this on."

“I stumbled and mumbled purposely,” the 45th POTUS said in another clip. “I do speak in long, complex sentences. I do have a lot of material in each sentence.”

Trump is also seen making bizarre comments about voter ID requirements for buying bread. “You have voter I.D. to buy a loaf of bread?” he remarked in the final clip. “Yep. You have ID to buy a loaf of bread.”



 

The attack ad not only presented Trump's gaffes but also included responses from key figures like Nikki Haley, journalist Jonathan Karl, and New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu.

Haley expressed her concern, stating, "He didn’t just get me confused. He mentioned it over and over and over again. He’s not what he was in 2016. He has declined. That’s a fact." Meanwhile, Karl added, "Donald Trump is truly confused," and Governor Sununu alleged, "If he is off the teleprompter, he can barely keep a cogent thought. I mean, that’s just facts."

The ad concluded with a clip of Biden himself mocking his presidential predecessor over the recent campaign trail gaffes, saying, "Have you noticed? He’s a little confused these days."

This comes after claims from an alleged Trump insider suggesting that President Biden's recent attacks have had a profound impact on the former president.

The insider contended that Biden's remarks have "rattled" Trump, characterizing the attacks as the "smartest thing" the 2024 reelection campaign has done yet. "It rattles him and takes him off message," the source told CNN.

Social media backlash

However, the Biden campaign's attempt to capitalize on these alleged vulnerabilities faced swift criticism on social media. Critics seized the opportunity to highlight Biden's own gaffes.

"That's funny, especially when Turnip Brain Biden can’t even go a day without his gaffs!" one posted on X.

"Holy crap if he's this bad, God knows how bad Biden is, can he still make it in and out of bed okay?" another wrote.

"The attempt to deflect will fail," someone else added.

"It’s like you want him to win," another reacted.
