Donald Trump’s boast on the 2016 campaign trail that the United States would “win so much, you’re going to be sick and tired of winning” if he was elected president is turned against him in Joe Biden’s latest attack ad.
In the video, Trump makes his audacious claims alongside an animated graph showing how the coronavirus is spiraling out of control in America, unlike other countries that have largely managed to curb further mass outbreaks.
“Mr. President, it’s too much,” the presumptive Democratic nominee’s campaign team captioned the clip:
The ad was shared on social media Thursday as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 continued to surge across the country.
At least 50,000 people are now testing positive for the virus every day.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned this week that the daily case count could soon pass 100,000.
