What is really clever, though, is the inclusion of that famous (or infamous) Arizona Saguaro cactus in the background that wordlessly imparts how much of the country feels towards the Velveeta Voldemort. Well done, Steve!
Here’s the actual cactus: https://imgflip.com/m/My_Custom_Templates/tag/cactus+middle+finger
Wasn’t his famous speech only an address without a zip code. How’s the new Trump Post Office going to deliver that? Probably end up in Arizona after 1912 with the increased snail mail now to delay the mail in ballots. Which State is now the State of the Union? Did they become all Confederate States like Trump wants? Just in case I need to send a letter to the remaining real Patriots who still believe in The Bill of Rights.
The Lincoln Project has generated some blistering ads in its effort to defeat Trump (and other Republicans) this November. The big question, for which nobody seems able to provide a reasonably accurate answer, is the amount of influence these ads are having or will have with voters and the net effect they will have on election results.
I get it, and also artistic license, editorial freedom and all that, but wouldn’t a more truthful caption have been “another eloquent speech”? I mean, look at the competition for the title!
Wikipedia: “Over the next two to four months, the acute effects of the atomic bombings killed between 90,000 and 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 and 80,000 people in Nagasaki; roughly half of the deaths in each city occurred on the first day.”

Well, Abe would have made the sentiment funnier, but OK.

The scenery just doesn’t look like Illinois or Kentucky – but Benson does work for an Arizona newspaper.
