With the U.S. leading in coronavirus deaths, Americans are quickly realizing that their leader botched everything and now has blood on his hands —100,000 dead and counting.
Several groups are now churning out blistering anti-Trump ads. Some of them are even airing them on the one network President Trump won’t miss: Fox News.
Here are 7 ads that are not just thought-provoking, but have consistently served as Twitter-fodder this year.

Led by George Conway and other conservatives, The Lincoln Project has one goal: To block Trump from getting re-elected.
This 60-second commercial called ‘Mourning in America’ hits you hard with stats — infections, death counts, and unemployment unseen since the 1930s Great Depression to top off Trump’s presidency.
One would say that it’s so hard-hitting that Trump threw a Twitter tantrum against it at 1 a.m.

If 100,000 of your nation’s people are dead and you are its leader, you should be breaking out in a cold sweat, right? Well, Trump had warmer plans — like hitting the golf course.
Progressive video producers Meidas Touch outed Trump’s lies and hypocrisy in a viral video, which now has more than 1.47 million views.
Twitter users were outraged that he was spending taxpayers’ dollars on his extracurricular activity while thousands died. The hashtag #TrumpGolfsYouDie started trending soon after the ad was uploaded.

In another slam-dunk, viral ad, The Lincoln Project attempted to rile up Trump against his campaign manager, Brad Parscale, who has reportedly lined his own pockets while working on the president’s reelection.
The commercial detailed all the purchases Parscale made since he began working for Trump — three Florida properties worth more than $4 million, a private yacht, and a Ferrari.
This is just another example that @realDonaldTrump is the worst manager America has ever seen. Don, you got conned … by your IT guy. pic.twitter.com/ssO5CERqBu

Days later, Trump promoted Bill Stepien to deputy campaign manager.
If anyone was wondering whether @ProjectLincoln was worth a contribution (we're D's after all), think about this. Last week they ran an ad exposing the grifting by Brad Parscale, now Trump has layered over him big time. They are living rent free in Trump's head. Dig deep.

Hard-hitting statistics to the tune of a horror flick? That happened too.
The Lincoln Project, that believes in “holding accountable those who would violate their oaths to the Constitution and would put others before Americans,” put out another viral ad.
This one makes you feel like you’re living the same week over and over again — only, it’s getting worse.
This is the new @ProjectLincoln ad currently in the front page of @DRUDGE, @realDonaldTrump.
Enjoy. https://t.co/gdjjO1HwFD

Remember when Trump first called coronavirus a Democratic hoax, and then said “we have it totally under control”?
The Recount, a political video brand that promises “political news, minus the BS. All in 5 minutes or less,” collected Trump’s downplays of the pandemic in calendar format so he can’t attempt to rewrite history.
It now has more than a million views.

The Biden team doesn’t have to work too hard to come up with fodder for their campaign ads. Trump’s words and actions pretty much write the material for them.
This brutal ad got straight to the point and set Twitter a flurry!
holy shit this Biden ad. pic.twitter.com/sQGlE77f0L

Republicans for the Rule of Law and Protect Democracy believe that Trump acts like he has “unlimited power.” The two groups detailed the facts behind their beliefs in an ad that warns that nobody is above the power of law.
It was aired on the one spot where it wouldn’t be missed by the person it’s intended for — Fox News.

On May 4 “Star Wars Day,” Trump’s campaign released a campaign ad showing Trump as Yoda, decapitating cable news networks.
It fixes Trump’s face on Yoda and shows him decapitating clone troopers labeled with the logos of his least favorite news networks — CNN and MSNBC. The troopers are sent forth by Emperor Palpatine (that has his 2020 presumptive Democratic opponent Joe Biden’s face on him.)
Considering its poor timing during a pandemic, and the fact that Yoda is technically defeated in this movie (meaning, Biden wins), it went viral alright!
