Trumped in America

The Clinton campaign has released sharp ads attacking Donald Trump for his erratic temperament, his long history of misogynistic remarks, and his lack of foreign policy experience. But one of the most eviscerating ad efforts of the fall (so far) has come in Ohio from a group called ProgressOhio, which has launched a series of spots slamming the GOP presidential nominee for having repeatedly stiffed contractors.

The effort was inspired by a June USA Today article that reported that Donald Trump has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits, with many of them involving contractors and individuals who claimed that Trump or his companies had not paid them for the work and services they provided.

The bottom line of the three video ads, each featuring a different small business stiffed by Mr. Trump, is:  “The only thing Donald Trump cares about is Donald Trump, period!” So far, they’ve been concentrating in Ohio, but you can expect to see these ads on a TV or a monitor screen near you, soon.
