Trump reacts to intense Biden ad listing off his administration's biggest scandals

Joe Biden might be starting to get under President Trump's skin. The former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee launched his first general election TV ads this week, and they're — uh, pretty intense!

Despite being just one minute long, the ad manages to hit Trump for "attacking healthcare for patients with pre-existing conditions," "giving massive tax cuts to billionaires," "praising white supremacists," "losing 300,000 jobs in a failed trade war with China," "locking children in cages," and "[ignoring] science on coronavirus … now over 100,000 dead Americans, 20 million jobs destroyed."

The ad got a rise out of Trump, who took to Twitter on Friday to call out the "fake ad" for being "totally false advertising," questionably claiming that "I LOVE seniors [and] protect preexisting C's."
