‘The ad is worded to say that Trump tried to use E.D. to have the house bulldozed. That is true.
There are no lies in the ad. It is a very cleverly worded ad.’
There’s nothing clever about dishonesty. The ad depicts a bulldozer flattening the house whilst stating that Trump colluded to make it happen. It is the type of slimy, vile, creepy lie Obama would tell. He too prides himself on cleverness. He knows he’s being deceitful, but he believes that leaving himself a technical out simply underscores his mental superiority.
The buyer was Carl Icahn, who held the debt on Trump Entertainment, owner of Trump Plaza. He subsequently demolished the house.
“The ad depicts a bulldozer flattening the house whilst stating that Trump colluded to make it happen.”
That is exactly what trump tried to do! He wanted to steal the old lady’s house.
I’m less worried about the parsing of the ad than the very TRUE and TROUBLING facts it brings up about Trump’s lack of respect for private property rights.
The people whining about the phrasing of the ad obviously just want to distract from the content of the ad, because there is no way to defend Trump against the meat of the charges. It’s a silly deflection, and it isn’t going to work when the Democrats attack Trump on this, if he wins the nomination.
If you look carefully, the moving image of the bulldozer is overlaid on a still photo of the house. Notice the relative scales of the bulldozer vs. the house. All the bulldozer is moving are some piles of dirt.
Another way the ad is dishonest.
