Just Another Trump Triumph

With only 28 more days until those all-important Iowa Caucuses, Whistleblower Hawkeye Bureau Chief Jan Michelson says the biggest political news— not just in Iowa, but everywhere else in the free world— is the fact that 2016 Republican Front-Running Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has now actually released his first TV Commercial 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.  That amount will no doubt be amplified by the countless times those controversial campaign commercials are likely to be played on cable news and across social media. 

AD Age analyzes: The man who’s been running his presidential campaign almost entirely on an unprecedented “earned media” strategy — in which he says outrageous things and then sits back and watches as news outlets reward him with millions of dollars of free media in the form of breathless coverage — is finally spending some cash on good old-fashioned TV commercials.

         “The politicians can pretend it’s something else, but Donald Trump calls it radical Islamic terrorism,” a deep-voiced narrator says ominously in the ad, as gloomy images of President Obama, Hillary Clinton and the two terrorists responsible for the San Bernardino attacks last month appear.

“That’s why he’s calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until we can figure out what’s going on,” the narrator adds.

The Blower predicts the Trumpster also just might find a way to get a little more free publicity from pictures like these.
