In a series of incensed social media posts blasted out early Tuesday morning, President Trump listed the “failures” of a group of “RINO” (Republican in name only) “losers” behind a new ad that mockingly echoes arguably the most famous political ad in American history, Ronald Reagan’s “Morning in America” ad, to criticize Trump.
