Trump criticized for campaign ad showing ‘southern border’ using footage of

Clinton, who voted for President George W. Bush’s disastrous and destabilizing invasion of Iraq, appeared in New Hampshire to tell a concerned voter that she will not answer to Donald Trump’s assertion that she helped to create ISIS.

“Donald Trump will stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for”, a baritone narrator declares in the Trump ad.

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have been the consistent favorites in polls overall. Did you expect anything less? He said he recalled thinking, “I’m $35 million to $40 million under budget, and to be honest, I don’t think I need (ads) because I have such a big lead”.

Following Monday’s TV commercial, the real estate tycoon is also set to release a radio advert later this week which will feature Kathryn Gates-Skipper, the first U.S. female Marine to serve in combat operations. The 2016 GOP presidential hopeful proposed a temporary ban on all Muslims entering the United States, and he’s received a lot of well-deserved backlash.

The new ad features dark images of the San Bernardino shooters, who were Muslims, as well as body bags and explosions.

PolitiFact, a site operated by the Tampa Bay Times that fact-checks political ads and statements, said the footage in the ad of people running to a wall that was used while the narrator discussed illegal immigration, was not of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Although the ad does contain a brief image of his main Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, the spot avoids any major criticism of Clinton or other Republican candidates.

Muslim Americans have said they are afraid.

Huffmon said Trump’s ad blends with his early strategy of giving supporters a political voice they feel they’ve lost.

On Monday, the campaign put nearly $2 million into broadcast and cable television ads to run this week in Iowa and New Hampshire, advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG shows.

Trump’s campaign said the footage was “intentional and selected to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border” and the “very real threat” to America by not building a wall on the Mexican border. The Florida senator declined to call them out by name but said some would weaken the nation’s military and intelligence programs created to prevent terrorism.

Trump’s campaign insisted the Morocco-not-Mexico footage was no mistake. Trump said, eliciting cheers from the arena.

“In that sense, the oil-grab idea, which can sound like a throwaway line when Trump uses it at rallies, captures both the ugliness of his campaign and his populist instincts”. “I think you will see people pulling Republican ballots and voting for Trump”.
