Trump Ad: Clinton Not Tough Enough To Face Putin, ISIS

[Purveyor]

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is targeting Hillary Clinton in a new ad, portraying the Democratic presidential candidate as not tough enough to handle major foreign policy issues.

15-second video posted to Trump's Instagram account shows Russian President Vladimir Putin showing off his martial arts skills and a masked militant pointing a gun at the camera.

"When it comes to facing our toughest opponents, the Democrats have the perfect answer," the video says, cutting to a clip of Clinton barking like a dog last month when she taunted Republicans.

Putin cracks up in Trump's video before text appears back on screen, stating, "We don't need to be a punchline!"

Trump last month had decried what he called a double standard over Clinton's barking, calling the former secretary of State a "joke."

The ad is kind of funny...

1. Anti American sentiments are guaranteed to backfire.

As Clinton said, bring it Trump.

2. Unfortunately, if elected, she'll probably try to prove him wrong.

3. The add is just the beggiining

and quite frankly... well...

4. Trump doesn't want to confront Putin, he wants to be his drinking buddy

11. "Confront Putin"? That is pretty rich coming from Trump who admires Putin.

I don't think Donald is going to be 'confronting' Vlad much either. Hillary has been Secretary of State. I think she knows how to negotiate with other countries a lot better than Donald does.

5. Have you forgotten about the uranium deal? I'm sure Americans will LOVE hearing about that.

9. Right? What a disaster...

6. The difference

she has actually known and interacted with Putin for > 20 years.

The ad is just stupid. If anything, the below says more about him, his campaign, and his cowardice than anything -

7. that's why she did Honduras, Iraq, Libya, and Syria: in her paradigm she's

looking tough with minimal US casualties (except Dumbya flubbed one of them in 2003)--Libya was a success, removing an obstacle (and remember, in the Honduras emails BRAZIL is counted among "our adversaries in the region&quot AND she can look tough for that 3 am call

8. What a wonderful decision to have to make

when it comes to our foreign policy. Trump (no further description needed) or Hillary. HRC, with her vast "experience" that resulted in her vote for the Iraq war (when Bernie had the foresight to see the issues related to destabilizing the region), giving rise to ISIS, and then thinking it's a great idea to institute a no-fly zone in Syria to challenge Putin to cross. What a wonderful choice for the voters to have...

10. The horror

13. I'm no fan of Hillary but Hillary's a proven machiavellian warmonger, unlike Trump

Trump's not going to succeed if he's going to try to paint Hillary as someone who's weak.
