Donald Trump probably didn’t think things through when he attacked members of The Lincoln Project — a Republican super PAC critical of the president — after they released a devastating ad. Trump went on a roll attacking the group, but in doing so, it gave the ad more coverage. George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, is part of the project that released the ad, titled “Mourning In America.” Trump threw a fit and even gave Mr. Conway the racist nickname “Moonface” during his 1:00 am Twitter rampage against “loser” Republicans.
The ad ended up seeing its biggest single-day fundraising haul yet after the president’s Twitter-tantrum to attack the group. Reed Galen, a member of the Lincoln Project’s advisory committee told CNBC the group raised $1 million just after Trump’s tweets. Trump really is his own worst enemy as he has no filter, patience, or even a fully functioning brain.
Trump literally helped the group to continue creating ads that attack his presidency:
The Lincoln Project’s big fundraising day in the wake of Trump’s tweets could be the financial boost it needs to keep pumping out more anti-Trump ads. It finished the first quarter raising $1.9 million and has just more than $1.2 million on hand. Their top donors include Walmart heir Christy Walton and Silicon Valley executive Ron Conway, records show.”

The group has promoted Democratic presumptive nominee Joe Biden, and Galen said that the same ad that threw Trump into a rage has continued to air on cable markets around Washington, D.C., and will also be seen next week in key battleground states.
Trump really didn’t take the ad very well. As George Conway notes, he took it worse than news of the over seventy-thousand American deaths from COVID-19.
I guess we know what keeps the president of the United States up at night. It isn’t the Americans who are dying once every 45 seconds of covid-19. https://t.co/W7JgxfdZb1

Trump remained angry for the entire day over the ad.
“There’s mourning in America,” the narrator in the ad says. “And under the leadership of Donald Trump, our country is weaker, sicker, and poorer. And Americans are asking, ‘If we have another four years like this, will there even be an America?’”
The group has a point, and Trump validates that every single day.
