Trump exploits Facebook -- again

[spanone]

While Democrats' campaign launches have sucked up national attention, President Trump's re-election campaign has quietly spent nearly twice as much as the entire Democratic field combined on Facebook and Google ads, according to data from Facebook and Google's political ad transparency reports, aggregated by Bully Pulpit Interactive.

Why it matters: Political advertising strategists say that this level of ad spend on digital platforms this early in the campaign season is unprecedented. The data (captured between December 2018 and now) provides a window into the Trump campaign's 2020 strategy, which until now has been virtually invisible aside from a few rallies.

"The worldview from the Trump campaign is different than anything we've ever seen," says Michael Beach, CEO of marketing analytics firm Cross Screen Media and a veteran of Republican presidential ad campaigns.

The Trump campaign is led by digital vet Brad Parscale, whose home field is analytics and audience targeting.

1. I don't care

I know how to use the Hide Post link. Google and FB analytics will eventually stop putting that crap in my feed and fill it with pitches to buy shoes, garden tools, local restaurants, etc.

4. all the Trump stuff in my FB feed is anti-Trump now

But even so, I get tired of him being in my space. Tired of knowing about his daily disgraceful behavior. His latest harmful exec order. I want him to go away.
