The ad for the Republican presidential nominee claimed that “Syrian refugees [would] flood in” and “illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes [would] get to stay” in the U.S. should Clinton find her way into the Oval Office.

Latest polls suggests that Clinton has support of over 90 per cent of African-Americans, while Trump has little or negligible support in the large community where unemployment rate is very high and so is poverty.
The ads are scheduled to air through August 29, and the campaign has also bought corresponding advertisements on statewide cable channels in each state as well.
“It’s more of the same, but worse”, it stated.
Clinton continues to face questions about her handling of classified emails while serving as Obama’s secretary of state, while Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks about immigrants, women and Muslims have rankled members of his own party. “The border secure, our families safe”.
The ads constitute the first paid media Trump has purchased since before winning the Republican presidential nomination in May.
The ad, which will air in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, is a relatively modest buy, especially compared to the $52 million Clinton’s campaign has already spent on the general election as of last week. With just 80 days left until the election, Trump is trailing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in preference polls of most key battleground states.
The state’s Democratic governor said he welcomed Trump to the state, but not for a “photo op”.
“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing”.
Trump’s trip to Louisiana, a rare departure for the candidate whose campaign so far has consisted largely of mass rallies and television phone-ins, comes a day after he made a rare expression of remorse for making comments that “may have caused personal pain”. “And believe it or not, I regret it”.
But in spite of his subdued tone, Trump’s speech, and the new ad, hint at a renewed focus on hammering his opponent in the starkest terms.

This week, the Republican nominee for president shifted gears to launch his attacks on Hillary Clinton’s health – alleging she doesn’t have the “mental and physical stamina” to be president.
