Some progressives are uncertain if the Republicans behind the Lincoln Project are friends or foes, but on Tuesday the anti-Trump ad sorcerers proved they are at least funny (depending on your sensibilities and tastes, of course).

The new ad, "Trumpfeld," is a departure from the PAC's typically darker fare. It essentially gives a Seinfeld gloss to President Trump's revelatory interview with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace last weekend. There is a Seinfeld-inspired soundtrack and some well-timed edits, but mostly the Lincoln Project team added a laugh track. Watch below. Peter Weber
