Former President Donald Trump has launched a provocative advertisement, suggesting that ex-presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is orchestrating a campaign to sway voters toward President Joe Biden.
What Happened: The advertisement, disseminated on Trump's Truth Social platform, paints a picture of voters being "indoctrinated" and "blindfolded" as Clinton lauds Biden's administrative choices.
Since her 2016 loss to Trump, Clinton has remained mainly out of the political limelight.
The advertisement incorporates a segment from Clinton's recent conversation with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, where the former broached the topic of "deprogramming" MAGA advocates.
The remark ignited criticism from conservative pundits and legislators who align with Trump. The advertisement also takes a jab at "Bidenomics," Biden's fiscal policy, contrasting it with a clip showcasing Biden's struggle with a flight of stairs.
The advertisement's narrator emphasizes that working-class Americans are smart enough to know "who's on their side."
"To American workers watching their take-home pay stink and watching inflation destroy their family and their lives, to all of you, I have your back,” Trump is quoted in the advertisement. The former president shared the video with the caption "BRAINWASHED."
With the political arena in constant flux, Trump and Biden are perceived as frontrunners for their party's upcoming presidential nominations.
