MEMECLIPSE: TIME Mag Ludicrously Calls Trump Meme Video ‘Bizarre Campaign Ad’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/8/2024 | Joseph Vazquez

Have you ever heard of the old expression, “The left can’t meme?” Well, apparently TIME magazine is so broken with Trump Derangement Syndrome it can’t even figure out what a meme is.

TIME railed against former President Donald Trump for posting on Truth Social what the leftist magazine described as a “new and bizarre campaign ad” of his “head tak[ing] the place of the moon and block[ing] out the sun in a nod to Monday’s solar eclipse.” Making it seem like the video was an actual campaign ad, the magazine continued: “It shows an image of the glowing sun as astonished crowds gather to watch the solar eclipse with protective eyewear on.” Here’s the problem: The so-called “campaign ad” was just a meme, and the magazine didn’t clearly didn’t get it and spent nearly 400 words of column space writing it up.

The joke video even had a watermark by the pro-Trump meme account @ildonaldotrumpo, but even that flew over the magazine editors’ heads.

Time editors saw what they wanted to see, and what want all 5 of their readers to see.

I think it’s a little bizarre, but it’s not my call.

It’s Trump’s prerogative to run his campaign as he sees it.

Most liberals are intellectually challenged. They just can’t grasp humor.

Y'all are missing the point.

Trump and the Trump campaign did not make it, put it out or anything else.

They have nothing to do with it.

And it is not a ad.

The irony of Trump being a shining light in darkness missed due to their hate

I just saw the Trump eclipse ad on Jesse Watters. I LOVE this! Biden did something, telling voters not to be stupid. We’re not. We’re not voting for DementiaJoe. We are voting for Trump ❤.

George Lucas began making young people aware that they want to be on the light side. Some are celebrating the dark side, but the winning side is the Light side.
