With the theme “Make America Safe Again”, the spot posits a Clinton-run America would allow Syrian refugees “to flood in”, immigrants without documentation who are convicted of crimes to stay in the country, and the borders to remain open.

Over the course of the campaign, Trump has doubled down on many of those remarks, refusing to apologize and blaming “political correctness” on why people were offended by his words. That’s all replaced by bright color images in Donald Trump’s America, with shots of the border being tightly patrolled by helicopter.
Donald trump campaigns in Michigan Friday and will start running ads in four battleground states.
The campaign says it will spend $4.8 million dollars to air the ad, and others, over the next 10 days in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida. Trump has yet to purchase time in Virginia, though a campaign adviser said earlier this week that he planned to do so. John McCain, who was taken prisoner and tortured in Vietnam, is not a war hero because he got captured; and attacked a judge of Mexican heritage, saying he could not objectively preside over cases involving Trump because Trump is “building a wall” along the U.S. -Mexico border.
The ad comes a day after Trump expressed “regret” for sometimes choosing the wrong words and causing “pain”. He is heading to Louisiana on Friday, where floods have ravaged the state.
“I have done that, and believe it or not I regret it”, Trump said.
Trump has a lot of ground to make up in this campaign. It’s anti-Hillary Clinton. But that strategy is proving ineffective in a general election, where the electorate is far different from the almost all-white GOP primary’s electorate.

“It’s more of the same, but worse”, the voiceover goes on, as an infamous photo of Hillary Clinton looking nonchalant during her Benghazi testimony appears.
