Trump campaign puts up ad asking people to support the troops, but used a photo of soldiers using Russian rifles and fighter jets. Hm.... what a happy coincidence.

Quote:
A digital ad released by a fundraising arm of the Trump campaign on Sept. 11 calling on people to “support our troops” uses a stock photo of Russian-made fighter jets and weapons.

The ad, which was made by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, features silhouettes of three soldiers walking as a fighter jet flies over them. The ad first appeared on Sept. 8 and ran until Sept. 12.

“That’s definitely a MiG-29,” said Pierre Sprey, who helped design both the F-16 and A-10 planes for the U.S. Air Force. “I’m glad to see it’s supporting our troops.”

He noted the angle of the aircraft’s tail, the way the tail is swept far back, and the spacing of the engines, along with the tunnel between them.

Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow, confirmed that the planes are Russian MiG-29s, and also said the soldier on the far right in the ad carries an AK-74 assault rifle.

The destruction of our governmental institutions is almost complete.

When Bill Gates suggests we can't trust the FDA to be truthful about a vaccine, Steve Bannon has achieved his goal of making government so distrusted the people will want it eliminated.

This seems like it should be an effective ad but I don't even know anymore.

Why would that be effective? Of course it should be, but it won't be.

Trump's "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best...." quote is from 2015. Everyone who voted for him in 2016 knew this, that's why a lot of them voting for him.

Get rid of past Republican presidents speaking highly of Hispanics, and this could be an ad for the Trump Campaign.

Is he seriously doing this? I'm surprised he didn't pick Fox News or Breitbart for something like that.

In one clip I saw from the townhall, an audience member asked Trump why he down played the virus knowing its disproportionate impact on low income and people of colour and his response was that he didn't downplay and in many ways, upplayed it by acting so fast.

Agreed the United States as we knew it is over. Still betting against a civil war though eh?

It is interesting to watch a narcissistic liar go on and on like this. He's lying in almost every single sentence.

His mind is going a million miles an hour. Everything is either the best or the worst, ever.

I'm watching the Woodward hour on AC360 thinking he reminds me of somebody and it just occurred to me now that he looks like the old man from the Pixar movie, Up.

Don't think it will be a civil war, but I expect some violence in certain areas. It's going to be crazy for the next year.

Fox is saying ABC ambushed Trump.

I didn't watch so it must have been pretty bad.

I watched for 5 minutes and had to turn it. The same talking points and Trump was going on and on and on. If that's ambushed he'd be totally screwed in a fact-checked debate.
