To add context, the ads are on YouTube, I’m in North Carolina, they’ve mostly (all?) been regarding Medicare with a voiceover saying “He’s not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid” followed with him saying “None of that stuff is gonna be touched”

I can only imagine there’s some local elections or primaries that have his stink on it and some GOP candidate is trying to ‘roll down the windows’?

    I haven’t seen a commercial in years, but what I can speak about is the random us flags. Is this for July 4th or is it to support Trump? My grocery store sells so many sizes now and they’re so cheap. It’s the cheapest thing they have.

    This is why. Republicans in Congress are planning to take “at least” $880 Billion over ten years out of Medicare and Medicaid to pay for extending tax cuts for the wealthy. There are also ads in the opposite direction raising alarm about this. They say they’ll make the cuts without reducing benefits, and by that they generally mean they’re going to pay doctors even less for caring for those patients.

    The Coalition to Strengthen Healthcare has some resources to facilitate grass roots advocacy if you’re interested!

    Because he is going to run for a third term and they’re expecting to lose with the current momentum.

    He is a Narcissist. He needs to be loved, that’s why he thrives in his role of Almighty President-King.

    Polls are showing that he isn’t, so he pushes ads here and tries to buy love there.
