On Monday, Raw Story reported Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign was bombarding the Washington, DC media market with ads.
The ads were not designed to win any electoral votes, but to reassure Trump himself, who is known to spend much of the day watching cable TV and tweeting his media criticism to his 82 million Twitter followers.
On Wednesday, the ad monitoring Twitter account Medium Buying reported Trump's campaign was placing more ads on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.
Longtime GOP strategist and Lincoln Project advisor Rick Wilson says the ads were in response to the hard-hitting Lincoln Project ads -- and said campaign manager Brad Parscale was ripping off the president.
"This is the Project Lincoln effect: Parscale and the rest of the campaign are feeding big baby Trump a false picture of their campaign, ripping him off, and stealing money from him again," Wilson posted to Twitter.
"Don, you're getting played," he concluded.
Here are some of the recent Lincoln Project ads:
