The conservative group known as the Lincoln Project released a new video that uses the words of former Republican President Ronald Reagan against Donald Trump's third campaign for president.
The group of current and former Republicans is known for its occasional trolling of Donald Trump, and its latest 60-second video does it again.
It uses Reagan's speech urging Americans to stand with him as he "cleans house" to remove the "privileges and perks, the arrogance and big egos," and "clean out the big egos." Each point is accentuated with videos of Trump cutting ribbons to his own properties, photos of Mar-a-Lago, stolen documents, and adult film actress and director Stormy Daniels.

Another clip from Reagan urges people to "beware the temptation of pride" and follows it with a clip of Trump proclaiming himself as "the chosen one," his eyes cast skyward.
In one excerpt from a State of the Union Address, Reagan says, "Don't let anyone tell you America's best days are behind us." It is followed by Trump claiming that "the American Dream is dead."
In a release about the video, Lincoln Project Chief of Staff Ryan Wiggins explained that the ad is aimed at moderate Republicans who have turned against Trump in recent years.
“The election will be decided by those brave enough to put country over party, hope over fear, and unity over division. Trump stands against every single principle that has guided our leaders regardless of party since the inception of this country. Being a Reagan Republican means rejecting Donald Trump at the ballot box this year," Wiggins said.
