Apparently Trump REALLY doesn't want you to see this ad. He's suing to have it pulled, so you might want to look at it now and share it with everyone else.

They are so whiny...
That is one brilliant ad. Every effective use of words against him. It would be a real shame not to share it...

The King doesn't approve of it? Maybe the Media made it up? He never said those things?

(22,035 posts)1. What are the grounds for Trump's lawsuit?
It seems weird to sue when the ad is made up of Trump's own words.
How can he sue over that?

(8,998 posts)7. Is there a link to Youtube version of this video?
Here's a rather funny one by Joescum of all people where he pretends he needs to run the ad three times to verify the words.
He's not a great actor but this does the trick.

I tried searching this morning to no avail; no independent YouTube post of this ad that I found, all news outlets with coverage of the ad.
