NEW YORK Donald Trumps ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. It moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.
The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: Thats why hes calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out whats going on. Hell quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And hell stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for.
The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, We will make America great again!
The Republican presidential candidates long-awaited and hotly anticipated first ad, which was shared exclusively with The Washington Post, is set to launch Monday as part of a series that will air in the final month before the Iowa caucuses. Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media.
The decision to air television ads which Trump hinted at for months, though the billionaire mogul has been loath to spend more than he deems necessary represents a tightly produced new act for a candidate who has fed largely off free media attention.

In an interview Sunday with The Post, Trump said that he has six to eight ads in production and that his was a major buy and its going to go on for months. He said he hopes the spots impress upon undecided voters that the country has become a dumping ground.

Does the dumbass realize that even if he does win, he's not in until 2017?

What a hateful, nasty jerk. No wonder his colleagues in the Senate hate him so much.

Aren't the terms "creepy" and "mean-spirited" redundant when you are talking about Cruz?
