DONALD J. TRUMP LAUNCHES FIRST TELEVISION AD OF THE GENERAL ELECTION

(New York, NY) August 19, 2016 - Donald J. Trump today released his first television ad of the general election, to begin airing immediately. The ad, entitled “Two Americas: Immigration,” illustrates one of many important contrasts between Mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton and highlights an issue, which has been a cornerstone of Mr. Trump's candidacy, strongly resonating with millions of Americans over the last year.

The ad release further cements a very strong week for Mr. Trump and the campaign, in which he delivered a definitive message laying out his vision for defeating radical Islamic terrorism and restoring law and order in front of enthusiastic crowds, while also previewing next week’s campaign focus: ending the unfair practice of illegal immigration.

The new ad provides a stark comparison between Hillary Clinton’s reality in which Americans are victims of the rigged system in Washington that compromises our borders, jeopardizes our jobs, and flouts our laws, and Mr. Trump’s vision for our country in which we secure our borders and put American jobs and safety first.

The campaign will spend $4.8 million dollars to air this ad and more on television stations over the next 10 days in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida.

Hillary for America Statement on Trump’s Misleading Ad

Today, in response to Donald Trump’s new divisive and misleading campaign ad, HFA Deputy Communications Director Christina Reynolds offered the following statement:

“From his divisive rhetoric to his erratic efforts to alienate our allies to his dangerous plans, Donald Trump has made our country less safe already. He is temperamentally unfit and unqualified to be commander in chief. No misleading ad can change the fact that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate with the experience and judgment to lead the country and keep our families safe.”

Unfit Demagogue Releases Ad Full of Lies

Mere hours after Donald Trump promised to always tell the truth to the American people, his campaign launched its first ad of the general election; it's a negative smear full of lies and thinly veiled racial animus. But what did we expect from the man who demeaned Mexicans as rapists and criminals?  From his weeks long racial tirade against Judge Gonzalo Curiel to his warnings that Americans need to "lock their doors" to keep safe from refugees, Trump's entire campaign has been built upon stoking racial fear and division.
 
Today's ad demonstrates that despite a revolving door of campaign managers and senior staff, Trump isn't changing. Making false claims about his opponent and citing discredited and racist lies from a known hate group show that Trump is still Trump: a temperamentally unfit demagogue whose immigration proposals stoke fears, seek to divide families, and would kill 4 million jobs.
