Former President Donald Trump has returned to Twitter with a brand new ad slamming Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Are you better off now than you were when I was president? Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We’re a nation in decline. Make the American Dream AFFORDABLE again. Make America SAFE again. Make America GREAT Again!” Trump wrote on his official account on X (formerly known as Twitter)
The ad hammers home the many failures of the Biden-Harris administration and how much has “gone wrong” in just 3.5 years.
The ad comes as billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk is set to interview Trump on X on Monday night.
The interview is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time and could allow Trump to seize the limelight at a time when the mainstream media has been all-in for Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign.
“Am going to do some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow in advance of the conversation,” Musk wrote on the platform, formerly known as Twitter.
The interview will be hosted live using Trump’s official X account, his campaign said on Sunday.
Following the attack on Congress by Trump’s supporters on January 6, 2021, the platform’s previous owners suspended Trump’s access to his account, @realDonaldTrump, which Musk took over a month later.
Trump frequently posts on his Truth Social social media platform, which was launched in February 2022. He has returned to X only once since his access was restored, with a post in August 2023 appealing for donations and showing his Fulton County jail mug shot.
Trump’s interview with Musk comes just days after sitting down with popular internet personality Adin Ross at his Mar-a-Lago home in an attempt to maintain online momentum for his bid for a second term in office.
Musk, who owns the social media platform X (previously known as Twitter), has a track record of supporting conservative content producers.
Musk, who has been working hard to elect Trump in a variety of ways, recently launched a SuperPAC that will spend millions of dollars to collect voter data in crucial swing states, Mediaite reported.
“America PAC, which Musk co-founded, had kept a relatively low profile until recent media reports highlighted the unique efforts of the group and its big-name backers. In a July interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk discussed the PAC, which has spent more than $20 million since June, according to FEC filings. Investors beyond Musk include Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, Joe Lonsdale, and Doug Leone,” the report said.
“One ad the PAC had been using to encourage people to register to vote is the video of the attempted assassination of Trump on July 13. The ad includes someone sending the video to a friend and telling them they need to register to vote, and the friend who received the video is then told how to register, according to a breakdown from CNBC.

“The ad promotes the America PAC website, but registration results have been different depending on the state,” it said.
CNBC reported: “But for users who enter a ZIP code that indicates they live in a battleground state, like Pennsylvania or Georgia, the process is very different. Rather than be directed to their state’s voter registration page, they instead are directed to a highly detailed personal information form, prompted to enter their address, cellphone number and age. If they agree to submit all that, the system still does not steer them to a voter registration page. Instead, it shows them a ‘thank you’ page. So that person who wanted help registering to vote? In the end, they got no help at all registering. But they did hand over priceless personal data to a political operation.”
The website said that not all people who have entered their information have completed the forms.
“It was brought to our attention on August 2 that some people may have been unable to complete the registration process on this website on August 1 and 2. If you had any difficulty, please try to complete the registration process again or email info@theamericapac.org for assistance,” it said.
