WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's re-election campaign released two new ads in recent days that take aim at apparent Democratic nominee Joe Biden for defending China and for lying about his achievements in the 1980s.

In some cases, the strategy appears aimed at neutralizing weaknesses by muddying the waters. But it risks backfiring by drawing attention to Trump's equal or larger vulnerabilities. As the coronavirus crisis reshapes the political landscape, the president's campaign is throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks to his rival, who leads in recent national and battleground state polls .
Quite a lot has been going on:
COVID-19 blame game intensifies with online ad campaigns paid for by China and the U.S. | CBC News
There is growing backlash toward China among some people in the U.S. for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak, and Chinese state media is pushing back with an aggressive propaganda campaign online.
Over the past few weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed China for the pandemic, saying the country withheld information and should have stopped the virus before it spread past its borders, but perhaps it "chose not to." And China is increasingly aiming at the U.S. for bungling its own coronavirus response.

The Trump campaign ad touting the administration’s coronavirus response is really something
The Trump campaign is running a TV ad touting the administration's great work in combatting the coronavirus. It contains footage from CNN and elsewhere that is highly edited, snipping words out of context from clips that, if shown in full, give a very different impression. I would call the add highly, deeply and widely deceptive.
If, after reading and watching the Post's workup, you find the ad within screaming distance of honest, I have some land in Wuhan I'd like to sell you.
'The Last Dance': Story behind Michael Jordan almost choosing Adidas over Nike explained -
Michael Jordan and Nike are synonymous. To this day, countless versions of Air Jordans sell out within minutes, while different designers and musical artists take a stab at recreating Jordan shoes as an homage. As we learned in the "The Last Dance," however, getting Jordan to sign with Nike was no easy task.
With Converse out of the picture, Jordan had his sights set on Adidas, and while the company with three stripes would've loved to have Jordan sign with them, making a basketball shoe wasn't a possibility for them at the time. That's where Nike comes in. Jordan's agent, David Falk, wanted him to sign with Nike, but the budding superstar wasn't hearing it.

"Kelly Loeffler's attempts to distract from her scandal and deflect blame on to others is exactly why Georgians don't trust her to do what's right for our state," Alex Floyd, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia, said. "Instead of being honest with Georgians about her coronavirus stock trades, Loeffler is setting $4 million on fire in an attempt to blame everyone else for a mess she made.
