My 2 Anti-Trump Commercials

I am 63 years old and remember quite well the turbulent and violent year of 1968. That's what this is starting to feel like. Also, I am not too tech savvy. I can work a cell phone and an email, but that's just about it and I have no grand-children to teach me.

But, I have a great idea for a couple of commercials and I was hoping that somebody here would like my ideas and run with it.

Here it is:

Commercial One:

30 Seconds (or, maybe, even 15);

Split Screen. On the left side is old footage of Hitler at Nuremberg. At the podium, raising his arm and then his massive audience raising theirs, in the Hitler oath of allegiance. All in black in white. On the right side of the screen, with color removed, so the shot is also black and white, is Donald Trump. Hand raised in an oath, with his large crowd with their hands raised in the same pledge. Both sides look eerily similar. However, the only voice you hear is Adolf's, in German, no sub-titles, but you hear him say "Adolf Hitler" and the crowd reply in kind. You still see Trump, on the right side of the split screen, mimicking the Furor. The scene then fades and the words appear in white lettering on black background, no voice over, just silence. The words on the full screen read "Don't think for a moment that it can't happen here."


Commercial Two:

Footage of Trump urging his audience to violence. The scene of the black girl being jostled and Trump yelling "out, get them outta here". Then another of Trump saying "I'd like to punch him in the face" and the footage of the sucker punch to the African-American walking in the aisle. Trump talking about taking "them out on a stretcher" and Trump urging the crowd on by saying he would pay for the legal bills. You know all the footage.

Then a black and white image of a very good Abraham Lincoln look alike with a tear coming out of his eye and trickling down his face. The picture freezes on Abe's face with a voice over of, say, one of those highly recognizable voices. The voice proclaims, "what do you think, he would think?."
