Did the original headline use these six words in this order? Yes. Has the Trump campaign removed relevant context? Apparently.

Previously, in the same ad, the Republican campaign had pointed to a New York Times report that said, “Harris is trying to raise taxes significantly.” The paper’s original report actually said, “Harris is seeking a significant increase in taxes Taxes on the richest Americans and big corporations.”

In other words, Trump’s team took a popular policy position, removed the relevant portion that provided the necessary context, and released it to the public in a misleading way.

And then, in the exact same ad, they did it again.

Of course, if you know anything about the former president, you also have to know that he lies uncontrollably, about matters large and small, to the point that members of his own team have questioned his ability to tell the difference between reality and fantasy to recognize.

What isn’t as widely acknowledged, however, is the fact that Trump’s campaign ads aren’t much better than his campaign speeches when it comes to telling the truth.

As CNN’s Daniel Dale summarized in a report last week, “Former President Donald Trump’s post-campaign television ads are littered with deceptively edited and misleadingly described quotes.”

The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler has similarly pointed out a series of recent ads from the former president that are completely misleading the public.

Of course, the question that should be on voters’ minds is simple: If Harris was as terrible as Trump claims, why can’t his campaign ads tell the truth?
