Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has launched his first television campaign with a 30-second advertisement. Set to launch on Jan. 5, and titled "Great Again," the ad is a part of a series that will be on air in the month before the Iowa caucuses. Trump has set aside a budget of at least $2 million a week on the ads, reports the Washington Post, which was privy to the ad before it was released.
The ad is a reflection of the issues that Trump has been harping on during his campaign so far and talks about banning Muslims, building a border along Mexico and decapitating the head of ISIS.
"The politicians can pretend it's something else, but Donald Trump calls it radical Islamic terrorism. That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until we can figure out what's going on. He'll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for," narrates a baritone voice, reports ABC News. The ad ends with Trump thundering "We will make America great again!"
"I am very proud of this ad. I don't know if I need it, but I don't want to take any chances," Trump said in a statement on Jan. 4, according to the New York Times.
"I am leading in every poll by wide, double digit margins. We have tremendous crowds, incredible support from all over the country and I am $35 million dollars under budget," Trump said in a statement, explaining his position, according to CBS News.
