Falling in line with a series of disses against US President Donald Trump, a political action committee, The Lincoln Project, rolled out an animal-program-like video in which they characterized the president as "Impotus Americanus".
In a video titled "Nationalist Geographic", The Lincoln Project describes Trump as one of the "heaviest leaders in the animal kingdom", mocking him as being an "orange, ruddy color not found in nature".
"Though Impotus was once considered an alpha-predator, this elderly specimen now weighs over 300 pounds due to its diet of fast food", according to the video narration.
Trump is not the only person ridiculed in the video, as the narrator notes that "Impotus" would formerly "pursue females with other predators like Molestus Epstein", referring to the now-deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a known associate of the president prior to his death in jail while awaiting trial for the sexual abuse of girls.
By the end of the video, Trump is labeled as a "Master of Deception" and the "Most Corrupt of its species", with the narrator observing that the president is "considered endangered this November due to its own incompetence and failure".
The video immediately received feedback, with some users joining the ridicule and further boosting the narrative.
However, others suggested that the ad was "too mean", outlining that there were other reasons to mock Trump instead of his appearance. Some implied that the ad was "tasteless" and accused The Lincoln Project of fat-shaming.
The Lincoln Project, a Republican political action committee dedicated to preventing Trump's reelection, is notorious for its sarcastic and harsh videos targeting Trump, including those in which POTUS is compared to Benedict Arnold and is accused of treason, or a Soviet-style video, in Russian, praising "Comrade Trump" for his alleged cooperation with Russia.
