A week after promising to open his ample war chest and start spending on television ads, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump unveiled his campaign’s first TV advertisement on Monday morning. Trump has previously aired ads on his personal Instagram account, but a mere month before the Iowa caucus, his campaign decided it was time to make the move to the airwaves.
The ad focuses on ISIS and immigration, and doesn’t shy away from the more controversial positions Trump has staked out. A voiceover from an ominous narrator promises that Trump will temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country, “quickly cut the head of ISIS and take their oil,” and build a wall along the southern border of the United States that Mexico will finance.
