DNC targets Trump campaign rally with ‘convicted white-collar crook’ billboard

Democrats will target Donald Trump’s first full-scale campaign rally since his criminal trial with a billboard that brands him “a convicted white-collar crook”.

The ad, paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), is the latest indication that the party is ready to become more aggressive in capitalising on last month’s guilty verdict in New York.

“Trump was a disaster for Nevada’s economy,” says the billboard, which will be displayed in Las Vegas, where Trump is due to speak on Sunday. “Now he’s back. A convicted white-collar crook. Coddling billionaires, leaving workers behind.”

A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush-money criminal trial, making him the the first former US president to be convicted of a felony. Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing hearing for 11 July.

But Democrats have been unsure how far to go in hammering home the verdict to voters in this year’s presidential election campaign. Some fear it could fuel a narrative that the trial was politically motivated and backfire by generating sympathy for the presumptive Republican nominee.



However, this week there have been signs of a more direct approach. On Monday, at a campaign reception in Greenwich, Connecticut, Joe Biden referred to his opponent as a “convicted felon”.

That billboard will backfire because it validates the suspicions of those who believe the prosecutions are politically motivated.

That billboard won't sway independents, but it will drive high MAGA turnout and feed Trump Campaign fundraising.

I think that is correct.

This, by the unindicted (because he has the cops in his pocket) head of the Biden crime family?

Oh, please. Spare us the bullshit.

If the Bidens had been subject to the scrutiny Trump has been, the story would be a lot different.

DNC 'targets' Trump.  So what else is new and certainly by now I don't believe a darn thing that they say.  From Russia collusion, impeachments, Stormy Trash Daniels, J6 .... I've heard enough of their crappola.  Evil doesn't even begin to describe most of them.

And yet they succeed, convincing people that they should throw their votes away because he's Trump.  I see this on this very forum, every day, when someone tells me they won't vote for Trump and prefer to allow Biteme to stay President. 

One would think we've been punished enough.  I guess not.
