唐纳德·特朗普总统不会无所事事下周民主党全国代表大会期间。
特朗普不仅计划在乔·拜登(Joe Biden)接受民主党提名前几个小时，在前副总统的家乡宾夕法尼亚州外发表演讲，他还将在其他三个摇摆州举行反节目活动，并将发起一场耗资数百万美元的大规模数字广告闪电战，包括从周二开始接管YouTube的横幅长达96小时。
特朗普竞选团队的一名官员告诉美国广播公司新闻，为期四天的数字广告活动将耗资高达“七位数”，将在一个肯定会被大多数人在线观看的会议期间，将总统的信息贴在一些最令人垂涎的数字房地产上。消息人士称，这些广告将加剧人们对民主党政纲的熟悉攻击，成为共和党人的“激进左派”噩梦。
2020年8月13日，DC，唐纳德·特朗普总统在白宫的一次简报会上发表讲话。
竞选活动不仅会占据YouTube的主横幅，广告还会出现在顶级新闻网站的主页上，包括《华尔街日报》、《华盛顿邮报》和《FoxNews.com》，因为选民们预计会在全国新闻中心搜索最新消息。
特朗普的竞选团队还购买了优质的“不可取消”广告，在摇摆州的Hulu等流媒体网站上播放，这意味着观众在线观看挪威船级社在这样的平台上，必须先看完一个完整的特朗普广告。
特朗普的竞选官员声称，他们有机会抢夺广告地产，因为民主党人留下了可用的空间。
特朗普竞选宣传总监蒂姆·默陶(Tim Murtaugh)在一份声明中表示:“拜登团队让特朗普竞选团队在乔的大周期间在互联网上抢到最好的高端房地产，这太棒了。”“我们将向数百万美国人展示，激进左翼分子对乔·拜登的接管是如何完成的。”
作为回应，拜登竞选团队嘲笑了前竞选经理布拉德·帕斯凯尔·尼克(Brad Parscale)将特朗普竞选团队命名为“死星”(Death Star)的臭名昭著的推文，并表示购买广告是该竞选团队的“噱头”之一

“死亡之星吹嘘在特技上浪费金钱，就像他们假装划船游行比最终控制疫情更重要一样。拜登的发言人安德鲁贝茨(Andrew Bates)在接受ABC新闻采访时表示:“特朗普的失败领导让16.7万多名美国人付出了生命代价，也让他从奥巴马-拜登政府那里继承的强劲经济陷入了美国历史上最严重的衰退。”
拜登竞选团队证实，周四晚上，拜登将在位于特拉华州威尔明顿滨水区的大型活动场所大通中心发表获奖感言。特朗普将发表自己的言论，抨击拜登在宾夕法尼亚州老福吉的“失败记录”。
特朗普的演讲将结束总统的一系列全力以赴的努力反对民主党的大会一周。他计划在摇摆州举行另外三场竞选活动，包括周一的明尼苏达州、威斯康星州和周二的亚利桑那州。
这是特朗普熟悉的策略，他在民主党初选中一直举行反集会。
在回应特朗普将在拜登接受民主党提名的当天访问宾夕法尼亚州的消息时，贝茨抨击特朗普未能控制住病毒并夺走宾夕法尼亚人的生命，称此行是一次“杂耍”，是“转移特朗普总统职位注意力的可悲企图”。
Trump looks to upstage DNC with swing-state events, multi-million dollar digital ad blitz
President Donald Trumpwon't sit idlyby during the Democratic National Convention next week.
Trump is not only scheduled to deliver a speech just hours before Joe Biden accepts the Democratic nomination right outside the former vice president’s hometown in Pennsylvania, he will also hold counter programming events in three other swing states and will launch a massive multi-million dollar digital ad blitz that includes taking over the banner of YouTube for 96 hours starting on Tuesday.
The four-day digital ad campaign that will cost up to “high-seven figures," a Trump campaign official told ABC News, will plaster the president's messaging across some of the most coveted digital real estate during a convention that will surely be mostly watched online. The ads will ramp up familiar attacks on the Democratic platform as a "radical left" nightmare for Republicans," sources said.
The campaign will not only take over the YouTube main banner, ads will also appear across the homepages of top news websites -- including The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and FoxNews.com -- as voters are expected to be searching for updates on the DNC.
Trump's campaign has also purchased premium “unskippable” ads to run on streaming sites like Hulu in swing states, meaning viewerswatching the DNC onlineon such platforms will have to sit through a complete Trump ad first.
Trump campaign officials claimed they had the opportunity to snatch up the ad real estate because Democrats had left the space available.
"It’s great that Team Biden let the Trump campaign grab up the best premium real estate on the internet during Joe’s big week,” Trump campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement. "We’ll show millions of Americans exactly how the radical, leftist takeover of Joe Biden is now complete.”
In response, the Biden campaign mocked the now infamous Tweet from former campaign manager Brad Parscale nicknaming the Trump campaign "Death Star" and said the ad buy was one of the campaign's "stunts."
"The 'Death Star' brags about wasting money on stunts almost as much as they pretend that boat parades are more important than finally bringing the pandemic under control. No smoke and mirrors charade can conceal that Donald Trump's failed leadership has cost over 167,000 Americans their lives and driven the strong economy he inherited from the Obama-Biden Administration into one of the deepest recessions in our history," Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates told ABC News.
On Thursday evening, Biden will give his acceptance speech at the Chase Center, a large event space on the waterfront in Wilmington, Delaware, the Biden campaign confirmed. Trump will deliver is own remarks attacking Biden's "record of failure" in Old Forge, Pennsylvania.
Trump's speech will cap off a string of all-out efforts by the president tocounter the Democrat's conventionweek. He has planned three other campaign events in swing states including Minnesota, Wisconsin on Monday and Arizona on Tuesday.
This is a familiar tactic for Trump, who held counter rallies throughout the Democratic primary contests.
In response to the news that Trump will visit Pennsylvania the day Biden will accept the Democratic Nomination, Bates slammed Trump for failing to get the virus under control and costing Pennsylvanians lives, calling the trip a “sideshow” and a “pathetic attempt to distract” from the Trump presidency.
