Donald Trump TV AD Campaign AD Commercial 2016

Sadly, republican primary voter gold.
Interesting. The ad is designed to evoke a certain point of view, and set of emotions.
But, if I note that, Trump people will be enraged at what I think of them.

Again, one of my pet peeves, a guy who did everything possible with deferments, family influence, and money, to avoid military service, is happy to send our young men and women in uniform into armed conflict against enemies, real or imagined, and use this as a tool to influence voters or legislators to do their dirty work.
What a jerk.

The Donald speaks the truth.
Well . . . kind of.
Don't these fact checkers have anything better to do than harass the leading republican candidate?
Trump campaign dismisses fact-checking of latest ad
Real-estate mogul Donald Trump's campaign said on Monday that fact-checkers of its new commercial missed the point of the ad.
Earlier in the day, the Republican presidential front-runner released his first television ad, which featured grainy footage as the narrator warned against illegal immigration on "our southern border."
But according to PolitiFact, the footage was actually from a small Spanish enclave next to Morocco.
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski bluntly told NBC News, however, that it wasn't a mistake.
"No s--- it's not the Mexican border, but that's what our country is going to look like. This was 1,000% on purpose," he said.
The Trump campaign further released a statement criticizing the "mainstream media," according to CBS News:
The use of this footage was intentional and selected to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border and the very real threat Americans face if we do not immediately build a wall and stop illegal immigration. The biased mainstream media doesn't understand, but Americans who want to protect their jobs and their families do.
The ad wasn't misleading. The fact checkers just missed the point. Now I understand.
"It was clear as mud, but it covered de groun'". Old West Indian saying.
