President Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday morning announced a $1.5 million ad buy to tout his first 100 days in the Oval Office.

The buy includes a 30-second television ad and digital ads, the Trump campaign said in a statement unveiling the ad buy.

The television ad promotes Trump’s nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, claims that Trump has created jobs in the U.S., and touts his work to undo regulations passed under President Barack Obama.

“You wouldn’t know it from watching the news,” the narrator says in the ad as the screen flashes “FAKE NEWS.” “America is winning, and President Trump is making America Great Again.”

The ad buy promoting Trump’s first 100 days came after Trump repeatedly tried to downplay the 100-day mark. Trump also pushed for Congress to move forward on a bill to repeal Obamacare by the 100-day mark, but Republican leaders have still not been able to bring the bill to a vote.

    Good grief please don’t give this never ending string of lies and BS free air time. It’s bad enough far too many will not even question the content of the ad. They will walk away thinking that they were right., Trump has done more in 100 days than Obama did in eight years.

    We really need to strengthen our truth in advertising laws.

  3. I’ll skip those ads, and watch “House of Cards.” The latter is closer to the truth.

  4. Jeez, when I need a bit of emotional propping up, I call a good friend.

    Oh right, he doesn’t have any.
