3. The problem with the ad is the word "every*

I would have said the "vast majority" of something like that. Right now if he spent even one dollar on contesting the election, the ad would be technically false.

4. I guess it's more dramatic to say "every," and we have no idea if what it says isn't true...

I would put nothing past him when it comes to grifting.

Not to mention this ad is one of their best, TFG did the same thing with his "Stop the Steal" donations as Bannon did with his "Build the Wall" grifting - didn't use it for what it was solicited for, used it for himself. And we know where Bannon is now.

TFG is pissed at The Lincoln Project. "The Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump" amuses me

Hearing Trump bragging about the number of votes he received in 2020 simply never gets old, never. It’s almost like he met with “people” before the election to fix the number of total votes needed, spread through various states, and decided that 75 million was more than enough, only to get tripped up by “easier voting.”

Regardless, the Lincoln Project is a somewhat controversial topic on the Left. Some liberals believe that the Lincoln Project is simply grifting off Left hatred and largesse. Perhaps so. hard to know. But we can be certain that their hatred and fear of Trump is deeply sincere; all doubts were removed when they pledged to root them “all” out, any Republican who supported Trump.

The other thing is, love them or hate them, the Lincoln Project is extremely effective in getting to Trump.

Here they take a lap over doing it, again:
