'They’re turning on you': Lincoln Project pokes at Trump's freakout over their last ad

The Lincoln Project triggered former President Donald Trump last week with an ad talking about the recent search for classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The ad last week questioned whether someone close to Trump had sold him out to the FBI and told the government about what was kept in the safe. The ad only appeared in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump typically spends his summers.

On Tuesday, the Lincoln Project launched another ad in which they continued to mock Trump.

“We get it, Donald. You hate us,” a female narrator says. “And we’re not your biggest fans either … but in a funny way, we’re the only people you can trust."

The new ad is also only appearing on Fox News in Bedminster in a further move to target Trump himself and trigger his emotions.

“We told you that you’d lose, and you did," the ad continues, "that Mike Pence would stab you on the back on Jan. 6, and he did … how Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy were using your name for money and power."

It went even further, saying that they told him Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was coming for him, "and now he thinks he's bigger than you."

“They’re turning on you. All of them,” the voiceover closes. “We’d tell you we’re sad for you, but we always tell you the truth.”

NEW: Justice Dept asks to keep sealed the Mar-a-Lago affidavit to prevent revealing the direction of the criminal investigation — worsening distrust inside Trump’s circle that has no insight into where DOJ goes next. @GuardianUS

Russian State Television calls Trump "their agent" because he is a Russian stooge.

Russian state TV's "Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov," host Vladimir Solovyov said: “I’m very worried for our agent Trump. They found everything at Mar-a-Lago, they got packages of documents."

And not a single Republican has said one word to oppose it.

This is not just story #57, it is Trump confessing to the crime

If this report is accurate, Trump is saying he took these doc for his personal gain. It's no defense to say "the govt was going to be unfair." These are the govt's docs, not his. He doesn't get to hide them& benefit
