Democrats troll Trump on his own building – again – ahead of Vance debate

Slogans such as “Vance on Trump: ‘What an idiot'” were echoed Monday at Trump Tower in New York, in a move by Democrats that echoed the success of a similar stunt at Chicago’s Trump International Hotel in August.

As in Chicago, the Democratic National Committee confirmed to The Daily Beast that it was responsible for the screenings in Manhattan on Monday evening; aimed at drawing attention to the first and only vice presidential debate between Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Vance arrived at Trump Tower in preparation for Tuesday night’s debate at the CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan just hours before the screenings began, according to CBS News.

Projections on Trump Tower in New York include Vance’s 2016 comments calling Trump an “idiot.” Vance was initially not a supporter of the former president, but began to change his mind around 2022.

Another projection on the building Monday night referenced the former president refusing to debate his opponent Kamala Harris a second time: “Trump is a chicken!” » Others include “Project 2025 HQ” and “Go Coach Walz!”

“Donald Trump and JD Vance will do anything to achieve unchecked power – no matter the cost,” Abhi Rahman, the DNC’s deputy communications director, said in a statement. “Vance has made it clear that he believes Trump is unfit to be president. But instead of standing up to him, JD Vance sold out and is now trying to convince the American people of Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda, aimed at granting Trump unchecked power to roll back Americans’ rights.

“As Vance takes the debate stage in an attempt to make up for Trump’s lackluster debate performance, these projections on Trump Tower NYC are a reminder that Trump and Vance are alone, while Trump is afraid to return to that debate stage and being held accountable by Vice President Harris for his failed record and dangerous agenda. America will reject his selfish and extreme Project 2025 plans this November.

Campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News of the projections: “President Trump is living rent-free in Kamala Harris and the Democrats’ confused brain is infected with a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.” »

Democrats deceive Trump in his own Chicago building before party convention

The move comes weeks after the DNC projected similar slogans on the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

At the time, “Trump-Vance: Out For Themselves” was projected on the building, as well as “Trump-Vance: ‘Weird as Hell,'” “Harris-Walz: Fighting for You” and “Project 2025 HQ “. »

“Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz have a proven track record of helping working families, and now they are running to lead our country into a better future,” Rahman said at the time.
