April 21, 2020

Trump weaponizes Nancy Pelosi's ice cream.

This Trump campaign ad — "'Let them eat ice cream' — Nancy Antoinette" — went up yesterday:

103 comments:

SGT Ted said...: Trump should thank Nancy Antoinette for doing the filming of his new ad.

Talk about tone deaf.; 4/21/20, 7:52 AM
paminwi said...: Fabulous ad!
Nothing more needs to be said.; 4/21/20, 7:54 AM
David Begley said...: A great, great ad.; 4/21/20, 7:59 AM
MadisonMan said...: A great ad. Let me say, too, that Jeni's ice cream is inferior to Graeter's in every way.; 4/21/20, 8:00 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: The most entertaining thing on TV this season will be Trump’s campaign ads. This is what Nancypants would be dealing with EVERY DAY if she were a Republican pol. She’s become way too cozy with the warm embrace of DNC-Media critters like Jen Rubin and her #fakenews brethren.; 4/21/20, 8:00 AM
Bob Boyd said...: Wow.
And this is a Republican ad against the Democrats. How things have changed.; 4/21/20, 8:00 AM
Charlie Eklund said...: Perfect. Because it is true.; 4/21/20, 8:01 AM
Shouting Thomas said...: Too funny. Liawatha’s kitchen beer campaign ad redux!; 4/21/20, 8:01 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Pelosi family money is money made from decades of government graft and international pay-to-play.

But saying so is illegal, and chi-com Nancy and her pile of Schitt side kick will erase you.; 4/21/20, 8:01 AM
rehajm said...: It's effective.; 4/21/20, 8:02 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Heh. Well done.

This is another one of Nancy's "We must pass it to find out what is in it" moments.; 4/21/20, 8:04 AM
traditionalguy said...: The last 6 months have convinced me that Pelosi has been flipped and now works diligently for President Trump. She must have cut a deal to keep a part of her family’s stolen money.; 4/21/20, 8:05 AM
MayBee said...: I just want to know if her family did end up coming over for Easter. I bet yes.

(Althouse- did you see the CNN video of Chris Cuomo finally emerging from his COVID basement last night?); 4/21/20, 8:07 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: As Rich Pryor and George Carlin and Chris Rock before him, Trump proves that the best comedy is the truth humorously presented. Althouse gave us two outstanding examples carefully presented with good old American humor:

1. Joe Biden is a smooth and casual racist super comfortable with calling Black children “roaches” (and not one sensitive race watchdog like Sharpton even NOTICED IT?!?!)

2. Nancy Pelosi is a tin-eared entitled bitch who doesn’t give a shit if you’re missing a paycheck because she assumes you voted for Trump.; 4/21/20, 8:08 AM
I Callahan said...: Absolutely outstanding ad. Devastating...; 4/21/20, 8:10 AM
Jersey Fled said...: Devistating; 4/21/20, 8:10 AM
I'm Full of Soup said...: Perfect!

Maybee- I had heard her say somewhere that some of her kids and grandkids were now living at her home since schools were closed. But yeah, I am with you too- I'd like to know if any other family came to visit on Easter.; 4/21/20, 8:10 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Oh they say “Jeni’s” on top. I thought she was SAVING a few pints for her buddy Jen Rubin.; 4/21/20, 8:11 AM
Clyde said...: Should it be Nancy Antoinette or Marie Nantoinette?

Either way, a very effective ad showing how Pelosi is out of touch with the lives of everyday Americans.; 4/21/20, 8:12 AM
wendybar said...: Nancy weaponized herself. She is ignorant of the problems the people of this country are having money wise...and brags about her designer ice cream, and her GRANDCHILDREN staying with her during Easter while they were telling the rest of us NOT to be with family. They are tone deaf...delusional, and ridiculous.; 4/21/20, 8:13 AM
Drago said...: Bob Boyd: "Wow.
And this is a Republican ad against the Democrats. How things have changed"

Unfortunately, its not a republican ad against democrats.

It remains just a Trump ad against democrats. Many republicans still do not dare to fight like Trump.; 4/21/20, 8:14 AM
wendybar said...: May Bee said"(Althouse- did you see the CNN video of Chris Cuomo finally emerging from his COVID basement last night?)
4/21/20, 8:07 AM

How about hypocrite Georgie Snufalufagus roaming those same streets in the Hamptons and he tested positive for Covid. Rules for thee, but not for me. Same as THIS Pelosi bitch.; 4/21/20, 8:15 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Hey Nancy - Since the house controls the "purse" - did you do this? B?

Harvard under fire for accepting more than $8M in coronavirus relief package
Harvard has a $40 billion endowment; 4/21/20, 8:16 AM
wendybar said...: When is Nancy going back to work for the people?? She is the one holding up relief to the masses while making sure the Kennedy Center is all set.; 4/21/20, 8:17 AM
wendybar said...: And Harvard; 4/21/20, 8:17 AM
Wince said...: Could have made more of the parallelism between the news voice saying about the loan fund "it will be up to congress to restock it", Pelosi's role as Speaker and Pelosi saying "we just got [her opulent freezer] restocked... ice cream".

But a strong ad.; 4/21/20, 8:21 AM
Bob Boyd said...: Unfortunately, its not a republican ad against democrats.

It is, but it isn't.

Many republicans still do not dare to fight like Trump.

That is true.; 4/21/20, 8:22 AM
Sally327 said...: Nancy Pelosi got a lot of mileage out of her contemptuous, mocking hand claps at the President and ripping up his speech and just generally dripping with disdain as to all things Trump.

Payback, that's what this ad is. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.; 4/21/20, 8:23 AM
EdwdLny said...: Exposed for all to see by herself, the wages of corruption, graft, and sin. How appropriate. Has she forgone her paycheck for the duration, ah don't be silly. I kid, I kid.; 4/21/20, 8:25 AM
Spiros said...: Maybe Trump should "weaponize" the behavior of deadbeat billionaires who moved their money off shore to avoid taxes but are now begging for bail outs.; 4/21/20, 8:27 AM
MayBee said...: Maybee- I had heard her say somewhere that some of her kids and grandkids were now living at her home since schools were closed.

I'm full of soup- that's interesting. She's in the age group where people shouldn't be coming and going from her house. I mean, as long as none of her kids are going out to the store or anything, I suppose it's fine. But I'm not going to visit my parents and I didn't go stay with them because I knew if I went out, I'd bring whatever back with me.

wendybar- isn't it odd?? What is it with people who actually have this virus and they don't just stay home? Are they so used to doing whatever they want to do?; 4/21/20, 8:31 AM

She apparently thought everyone would find her gold sweet tooth adorable.; 4/21/20, 8:33 AM
William said...: I thought Haagen Dazs was top of the line. I never knew that there was such a thing as $13/pint ice cream. Has anyone tried this brand? Is it substantially better than other premium ice cream? Now I want to try it at least once....I can live without a $23,000 fridge, but I'm willing to try $13/pint ice cream.; 4/21/20, 8:37 AM

Nancy Pelosi gets a free pass waayyyyyyy too often.; 4/21/20, 8:38 AM
Left Bank of the Charles said...: Those Dove chocolate ice cream bars in Nancy Pelosi’s freezer really are the best. I remember the exact place and date that I had one, July 23, 1989. I was bicycling from Glenwood to Clarinda on RAGBRAI XVII. It was a hot, sunny afternoon. I had already ridden 40 miles with another 20 miles to go up and down the rolling hills of Highway 2. At the top of the first hill out of Shenandoah there was a lone young man with a single ice cream freezer giving away Dove chocolate ice cream bars. Not many riders were stopping because there were no trees for shade. I did. A sublime moment I’ll always remember.

Later that same year I watched the fall of the Berlin Wall on TV from my room in Trump’s Plaza Hotel while in NYC for a conference on the taxation of executive stock options. Trump took it into bankruptcy a few years later. The irony.; 4/21/20, 8:38 AM
William said...: I guess the point of $23,000 fridges is to keep your $13/pint cold without all those frosty things adhering to it.; 4/21/20, 8:39 AM
William said...: I bet that over the years Nancy has spent more money on plastic surgery than most people have spent on food and many blue collar men have spent on clothes.; 4/21/20, 8:42 AM
Clyde said...: I've been eating Tillamook ice cream lately. Their mint chocolate chip is very good, as is their waffle cone swirl, among others. The latter is half vanilla with caramel swirl and half chocolate with waffle cone pieces For ice cream bars, I like the Magnum double caramel. They're a little pricey, but I buy them whenever Publix has them on BOGO.; 4/21/20, 8:45 AM
Known Unknown said...: Jeni's is good boutique ice cream but they've experienced two listeria breakouts in their factories over the years.

The font choice (and kerning) is dreadful. The fake quote at the end is kind of dumb since she never said those words.
The contrast of clips works pretty well, though.; 4/21/20, 8:47 AM
Bay Area Guy said...: "Trump weaponizes Nancy Pelosi's ice cream."

Anonymous said...: I never see any of these ads.

Now to be fair we cut cable a year ago and the only likely venue [YouTube] we have a YouTube Red account so never see a single commercial.

Outside of seeing them here, I would never see any ads. Seems like they are the proverbial tree falling in the forest - if no one who isn't a Trump fan sees this, does the ad matter at all?; 4/21/20, 9:06 AM
Left Bank of the Charles said...: Jeni’s may be $13 a pint online but is $9 a pint at the store, definitely a premium but will try on Nancy’s recommendation. That’s a better deal than you’ll get at the Trump Tower ice cream parlor. I’m partial to Breyer’s but all trips to the Oregon Coast must include a stop at the Tillamook Creamery.; 4/21/20, 9:07 AM

They are made for people like our hostess to pick up and talk about. It's much more effective that way than if they just expected people to run across them.

Bryers used to be great. Their Coffee label used to read: "Ingredients: Cream, Sugar, Coffee". Last time I looked, I think they were going down the xanthan/guar gum route.; 4/21/20, 9:29 AM
JML said...: "...but all trips to the Oregon Coast must include a stop at the Tillamook Creamery."

Before Trump was elected, we had some 'friends' over for dinner. (They stopped talking to us after Trump was elected.) They had just recently moved here to NM from OR. They were thrilled to see I was using Tillamook cheese and said they hadn't seen it since they left OR and where did I find it?

Wallmart.

They were very disappointed that Tillamook 'sold out for greed.' I wondered why they would want to keep such a good product from the masses. (Not really, they thought of themselves as rather elite.); 4/21/20, 9:31 AM
Ken B said...: Effective IMO.

Should blend this with her speech ripping.; 4/21/20, 9:32 AM
Clyde said...: They have Tillamook cheese at Publix here in Florida as well. I usually go for Cracker Barrel brand, though, because I like their Havarti.; 4/21/20, 9:40 AM
PuertoRicoSpaceport.com said...: Blogger BleachBit-and-Hammers said...

Pelosi family money is money made from decades of government graft and international pay-to-play.

Pelosi family money is California money and you are right about where it comes from.

But Nancy's family, the D'Alessandros, also did quite well from graft and grift in the process of destroying Baltimore.

That needs to be pointed out more often.

Big Mike said...: It’s interesting to imagine how thick the walls must be for the bubble that too Democrat’s live in. I get that women like Liz Warren and Hillary Clinton might have political tin ears, but Pelosi seemed to have better political instincts back in the day. Was that all an illusion?

PuertoRicoSpaceport.com said...: Bank of the Charles said...

Trump took it into bankruptcy a few years later.

Did any creditors lose any money in this or the other bankruptcies?

Got any names?

It gets more than a little tiresome when people continually bring up Trump bankruptcies.

Big Mike said...: She is the one holding up relief to the masses while making sure the Kennedy Center is all set.

@wendybar, and Pelosi actually did get $25 million for the Kennedy Center. And the first think the Kennedy Center did after getting the money was lay off the entire National Symphony Orchestra. Ah, wasn’t that money supposed to be used to prevent layoffs?; 4/21/20, 9:55 AM

Greg the class traitor said...: Pelosi weaponized herself by holding that stupid interview.

The fact that she was willing to be filmed in front of her $24k refrigerator hoarding expensive ice cream, while she was holding up relief of ordinary Americans, shows 2 of 3 things:

1: She is an idiot
2: The press is so totally in the tack for the Democrats that the idea that they might use that video against her never even occurred to her or any of her advisors
3: Most Republican politicians are so ball-less that they haven't taken advantage of such indiscretions in the past, causing Pelosi to expect she could get away with it with Trump; 4/21/20, 10:22 AM
Ray - SoCal said...: Drago - Agree - Trump is inside their OODA Loop. And Trump is changing the culture of the GOP.

The Ad is a great example of Alinsky - Freeze The Target!

mikee said...: Bluebell Ice Cream, made from the milk of the happiest cows on earth, is the premium ice cream of Texas. They suffered from a lysteria outbreak a few years back, and were sorta recovered when an idiot viral video was made of someone opening and licking ice cream in stores. That person is now in jail, facing food tampering charges, but the brand damage is done.

HEB store brand is pretty good, too, and less expensive.

You can also get Ben&Jerry's, Haagen Dazs, Italian ices of various kinds, and many others.
But I've never seen in my Austin HEBs the premium brand displayed by Pelosi.
Deplorable, indeed.; 4/21/20, 10:32 AM

This is only beginning.

disclaimer - as the son of a milkman, I do not take any anti-ice cream position in this comment. I love the stuff as much as Cruella DeVille does in that ad.; 4/21/20, 11:04 AM
Sheridan said...: If Trump wins reelection and the Dems hold the Congress (with Nancy retained as Speaker) I suggest that Trump do two things at the next SOTU. First, wheel an expensive refrigerator, same brand as Nancy's up to the visitors gallery, and introduce it to the world as if it were an important guest. Second, at the exact same time, hand to Nancy several containers of her favorite ice cream along with a giant spoon. Make sure the cameras zoom in on her facial expressions. Comedy gold.; 4/21/20, 11:37 AM

So true! Fortunately, Trump is not likely to forget about the impeachment travesty and the Russia scam. November is going to be all about paybacks. I give odds on his re-election, but taking control of the House and a healthy majority in the Senate should be the objective. There must be a brutal punishment for the lefties and the NeverTrumpers.

Paybacks!

Yep.

He keeps digging.

Maybe you should recommend that as a response theme for a Pelosi rebuttal ad. It would go something like this: "Why yes, I sat on my hands for days and weeks while the nation suffered and millions were thrown out of work and I did go on TV right in the middle of this economic disaster that I am making worse to show my zillionaire refrigerator full of zillionaire ice cream on a TV show with another out of touch Hollywood type zillionaire, but did you know the ice cream I was showing off actually costs a few dollars less than the ice cream sold at Trump Tower"

Not that there is anything wrong with THAt, just the faux everyman schtick. And the lovely shoulder draped sweater and pristine white blouse.

Stephen said...: Trump is passing the buck again, as he feels he needs to do when the public doesn't like his handling of Covid-19, his approval rating is back in the tank, Congress's is up very significantly, and the governors who keep pushing the testing issue, both Democratic and Repulican, are at 70-80%.

Yes, Nancy likes and can afford fancy ice cream. But if not for her, no unemployment insurance provisions in the first big bailout bill, no oversight provisions for how Trump dispensed $500 billion in corporate bailouts, no money in the next bailout bill for hospitals or testing.

Contrast DJT, friend of the working person, who as Rush said, has looked over the precipice from his penthouse at financial ruin (though he mysteriously ended up with a $950 million tax write-off instead), but who didn't think unemployment insurance was necessary, didn't want anyone to know who the bailouts were going to, and didn't give a damn about hospitals or testing, even though the latter is critical to actually getting people back to work. And who, as usual, went golfing multiple times during February and March, all while denying that CV-19 was a real threat.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out....; 4/21/20, 3:39 PM

There is not one factual word in that entire paragraph.; 4/21/20, 4:07 PM

a. public doesn't like his handling of COVID. Approve 44%-Disapprove 54% See https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/most-rate-trumps-coronavirus-response-negatively-and-expect-crowds-will-be-unsafe-until-summer-post-u-md-poll-finds/2020/04/20/0b436dda-833b-11ea-a3eb-e9fc93160703_story.html

c. Ratings of Congress up. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/congressional_job_approval-903.html

d. Governors at 7--80%. See the WAPO poll above--governor approval at 72%

I recently came across Cabot, VT butter here at my local Mollie Stone's; hadn't seen it since leaving New England. I almost bought it but it was salted. If I see the unsalted next time I go I'm stocking up. Butter freezes very well.

At Christmastime when I'm doing a ton of baking, I'll splurge and buy French butter - it has a slightly higher butterfat content than American butters and it makes for a richer flavor.
