Washington, D.C. (Wokeville Gazette) — After six months of intense marketing research and efforts to find a way to attack former President Donald Trump and those affiliated with him, Democratic messaging guru Anita Dunn was left scratching her head.
The Center for American Progress Action Fund oversaw an effort to discern Republicans’ "weak spot", according to the Washington Post. Dunn, a longtime Biden adviser, returned in May to the White House in a senior adviser role — the third time since the start of the president's term. “MAGA,” the group’s surveys and focus groups found, stood out in battleground areas for its negative ties. So, President Biden began using the phrase "Maga Ultra" last week, in hopes of attacking the man (and those associated with him) as democrats head into what appears to be a very bleak November. The problem is, instead of maligning Republicans by tying their agenda to Trump, the slogan has ricocheted back as many on the Right embrace the new moniker. That includes the former president, who “absolutely loved” Biden's willingness to call him "the great MAGA king” during a Chicago union hall speech and mocked Biden and Democrats privately for failing to understand how to sell a political message. We spoke with a representative of former President Trump who was excited to embrace the quip from Biden's White House. “If loving your Country and wanting to put AMERICA FIRST makes you ULTRA MAGA, then yes. WE ARE ULTRA MAGA,” said Trump's representative. "We are thrilled beyond words by the help Biden and his team are giving us with this effort. If they believe they can win in November by attacking America, then we're all for it. Meanwhile, President Trump will continue to expose how Biden has single-handedly destroyed the economy and brought America to the brink of WWIII with his policies and decisions. While Americans are facing inflation at rates most of them have never seen before, as well as shortages on essentials like baby formula, President Biden thinks his best bet is to attack Trump for his promises to put Americans first". |
