Twitter Mocks Trump Campaign’s Bizarre ‘Trojan Horse’ Ad Tying Biden to Bernie, AOC: ‘What You do When You’re Losing’

President Donald Trump’s campaign was mocked fiercely by Twitter blue-checks over a strange web video that depicted former Vice President Joe Biden as a “Trojan Horse” containing Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

The “Trump War Room” account posted the video — which capitalizes on the enormous cultural cachet of the 2004 film “Troy” and the stan culture trend of superimposing political figures’ faces onto movie clips — on Thursday night.

“Joe Biden is Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar’s Trojan Horse for their radical Socialist agenda,” the team wrote, adding “Don’t be fooled!”

The tweet spurred a blizzard of mockery from journalists and other verified Twitter users that included some valuable historical reminders, unkind assessments of Trump supporters, criticisms of the political effectiveness of the attack, and other assorted mockery.

I used to use political ads in my debate classes to demonstrate logical fallacies, tone and for comparison to actual history. I struggle to imagine where I’d go with this. https://t.co/dMaSgw6bY8

In my entire life I have never seen Republican attacks look this lost and ineffective. https://t.co/X3sQJSxLo4

This is really really bad. Like, Trump should probably hire @ProjectLincoln to do their ads if this is all they can come up with on their own https://t.co/9ZCCSzKcQA

Five bucks the audience this is intended to appeal to have no idea what the Trojan horse was.

They can’t seem to land a punch on Biden so they paid a 10-year-old to make a video about how he’s secretly helping socialists take over America or something. Joe Biden. https://t.co/u2cePQAy3V

If Biden were a Trojan horse for a radical agenda, then why did Democrats overwhelmingly nominate him instead of Sanders, Warren or someone else? https://t.co/SBMq1z6ANz

Cool ad from the Biden campaign that will probably help attract some younger voters. https://t.co/mwruaywYKh

There is no evidence that Joe Biden contains a single other human being, let alone three.
