Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday homed in on one quote from a super PAC ad attacking his comments on women in order to bash his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as a liar.
The 30-second ad, from pro-Clinton group Priorities USA, features ordinary women mouthing Trump’s past remarks about how he thinks flat-chested women aren’t attractive and wanting to date his daughter Ivanka. The last quote featured in the ad, spoken by an elderly woman, is, “You can tell them to go fuck themselves.”
Trump criticized the inclusion of this line in a string of tweets, saying that it was actually directed at China, not women.
The pathetic new hit ad against me misrepresents the final line. “You can tell them to go BLANK themselves” – was about China, NOT WOMEN!

Crooked Hillary Clinton put out an ad where I am misquoted on women. Can’t believe she would misrepresent the facts! My hit was on China

Amazing that Crooked Hillary can do a hit ad on me concerning women when her husband was the WORST abuser of woman in U.S. political history

As The Hill reported, Priorities USA plans to spend $6 million on ads against Trump in the coming weeks. The “Does Donald Trump really speak for you?” ad is just the first.
Trump last week made a similar effort to fact-check a web video by pro-Clinton super PAC Correct The Record, which also focused on his unflattering comments about women.
A Fox News host mistakenly said a quote featured in the ad, in which Trump says a woman who attended his wedding ate “like a pig,” was about Clinton. Trump pointed out on Twitter that he’d directed the insult at comedian Rosie O’Donnell.
Watch the ad below:
With all the tweeting and TV watching when will Donald actually have time to lower himself to do a little presidenting?
Oh…and the F word was included to show your frequent, public use of the F word…dumbass.
Oh. Well that makes it better.
O_o
How about the other 28 seconds of the ad? Any comment on that, fella?
Everyday…Gig him every day…he will go nuts…we need a psychotic episode…
But the rest of the quoted insults are accurate? The only one you find to be incorrect is the “go fuck themselves” quote?
And is he really going to stick with “Crooked Hillary”? Because that’s lame. Really lame. Very, very lame. The lamest this country and the world has ever seen! Trust me!
(sorry, I got caught up in the moment…)
