The Trump campaign is now running another inappropriate announcement as well.
Some ads feature a white circle around that part of the image, as if to show people that Biden has been captured.
First facts: The image of Biden wearing Trump earrings is not official. The earpiece was photoshopped in an actual photo showing Biden without the earpiece.
The Trump campaign, in fact, is also running some anti-Biden ads that use the same Biden photo. Without Edited in earpiece.
Trump campaign communicator Tim Murtuf said in an email Thursday that the ads featuring earpieces were a “clear satire” that he claimed was a decision to agree to a Biden campaign pre-debate earpiece inspection and was then changing his mind.
There is no evidence that this happened. Regardless, it’s not exactly clear that the ads are ironic. Some ads say, “Just bagging for a break during the discussion! Check Jorce’s ear! He refuses the drug test and decides to do an earpiece inspection!” Others say, “Who is in joy?”
Earpiece ads – some of which were still active until Friday, even after three days of discussion – have been viewed millions of times en masse, according to statistics from Facebook’s publicly accessible ad database. Facebook cannot check advertisements of politicians.
It’s not clear if the Trump campaign does its own Photoshop job or if the altered image is taken from another.
