Donald Trump just broke the most basic rule of politics

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/05/politics/lincoln-project-ad-donald-trump/index.html

On Monday, the Lincoln Project released an ad entitled "Mourning in America" -- playing off the famed "Morning in America" ad by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
"Under the leadership of Donald Trump our country is weaker and sicker and poorer," says the ad's narrator. "If we have another four years like this, will there even be an America?"
Its message is dark, foreboding and harsh. And it's very likely that almost no one would have even seen that message had it not been for Donald Trump.

Trump's inability to ignore renegade voices within his party is a violation of the most basic of campaign rules. The more he talks about the Lincoln Project -- no matter how negatively -- the better for the group's profile and ability to raise money to oppose his reelection.

    Except that until coronavirus America was richer and stronger. Sicker, yeah, but that's been a continuous process for the last decade, preceding Trump and unchanged by Obamacare.
