Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) congressional campaign has released a new ad depicting Donald Trump as a deteriorating elderly relative whose worried family sends him to a nursing home.In the spot shared on social media Wednesday by Swalwell, an actor portraying the Republican presidential nominee rants and raves about people eating dogs and cats and executing babies, claims that “windmills” are driving whales “a little batty,” and riffs about “big massive dumps.”Advertisement

(Notably, these are all things the former president has actually said.)A concerned family is shown deciding to get Trump the “help he so desperately needed,” taking him to an elder care facility called “A Place For Trump.”“Now he has round-the-clock support and can enjoy the things he loves, like eating cheeseburgers and rage-posting at 3 a.m.,” the narrator says, as the imagined Trump is seen writing out the tweet, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”That, too, is a real tweet the former president once posted.“We all know Donald Trump belongs in a home. Just not the White House,” the ad’s caption reads on YouTube.Advertisement

Trump is neck and neck with Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race, despite increasing concern over his cognitive state, including from hundreds of health care professionals who signed on to a letter saying he’s been “displaying alarming characteristics of declining acuity.” Trump, who at 78 is the oldest presidential nominee in history, has declined to release a medical report, a customary practice for presidential candidates.Go Ad-Free — And Protect The Free PressThe next four years will change America forever.
