Trump Vows To "Quickly Cut The Head Off Isis And Take Their Oil" In First TV Ad
“The world is laughing at us, at our stupidity,” Donald trump told the Washington Post, in an interview on Sunday. “It’s got to stop. We’ve got to get smart fast — or else we won’t have a country.”
Those comments came as the GOP frontrunner gave the Post an exclusive look at his campaign’s first television spot, which is set to debut on Monday.
Trump has thus far run what one might call an “unconventional” campaign. While rivals spent millions on television ads only to see their poll numbers drop, Trump relied on... well, on being Trump. The bombastic billionaire’s fiery stump speech (which, while short on substance, lacks nothing when it comes to conviction) has resonated with large swaths of the American electorate that are fed up with business as usual inside the Beltway.
With his first ad, Trump is sticking with what’s worked. That is, he’s doubling down on the same controversial messages that have both surprised and captivated the political punditry who now exist in a perpetual state of shock thanks to the fact that Trump is rewriting the rules of what candidates can and should say on the campaign trail. Here’s WaPo with a description of the new spot:
Donald Trump’s ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. From there it moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.
The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: “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.”
The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, “We will make America great again!”

"Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads — an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media," WaPo continues, adding that "Trump has six to eight ads in production [which] he hopes will impress upon undecided voters that the country has become 'a dumping ground.'"
Notably, Trump is doubling down on the Muslim ban message just days after that very same message turned up in an al-Shabaab propaganda video. Of course that shouldn't surprise anyone. Trump isn't one to backtrack and hey, "if it aint broke..."
And yet even as short a spot as that described above reveals what certainly appears to be a lack of understanding when it comes to policy specifics. For instance, one cannot "take" Islamic State's oil. It isn't theirs for Trump to take. That oil belongs to Syria and Iraq. Additionally, Trump seems certain that Mexico will be willing to fund the construction of a giant border fence. It's not at all clear why he believes that.
In any event, if Trump's television spots are anything like his campaign trail rallies, we're in for some epic trolling of America's entrenched political aristocracy and also of the liberal media. We'll close with WaPo's amusing account of the moment when the final cut of the first ad was played in the candidate's 26th-floor suite at Trump Tower:
One afternoon last week in the candidate’s 26th-floor suite at Trump Tower here, the fiery depictions of global terrorism flickered on Trump’s face as he stared down at campaign manager Corey Lewandowski’s laptop computer to watch the final cut of the ad.
“Play it again,” Trump told Lewandowski, nodding approvingly. “I love the feel of it.”

If Hillary's ass was a closet, it still wouldn't be big enough to hide all her skeletons...
Oh, and Vince: http://ronwhiteforpresident.com/
why can't you liberal idiots talk straight?
you're voting hilary, right?
Almost as insane as Cam Brady's Congressional ads!
He's nuts! I prefer Hillery's ads where she promises to raise taxes, expand gubmint and free up those 14 million illegal votes to votes Dem.
What's not to like?
you forgot the sarc tag for the newbies & down voters -
In other words exactly the policy being pursued successfully by Russia and President Putin.
Shame the current Yank admin is trying to undermine this policy in every way and to bring Russia to its knees with illegal sanctions.
No wonder most of us now look at the USA as a criminal enterprise. a supporter of islamic terror - financially and militarily.
And with abject loathing.
I don't remember officials from the Russian Federation talking about "Take Their Oil". do you have a link for that?
Russia has plenty of its own oil, but bombing oil convoys comes close enough. They target and quite successfully destroy what Trump hopes to repossess, in essence it's all the same to ISIS since their cash flows get diminished and it's much more painful than bombing 'martyrs' who are expendable and easily replenished from nearly endless supply of uneducated and unemployed Middle Eastern youth bulge.
Well, when you come down to it, ALL governments are criminal enterprises -- organized gangs which impose taxation/tribute on a generally disarmed populace by claiming legitimacy for what is really nothing more than a monopoly on force/coercion. Governments didn't exist until the human population became too dense to allow for disagreements to be settled by the peaceful mechanism of Moving Somewhere Else; until resources became universally claimed and territory universally occupied. There is, of course, no way to fix the situation where the entirety of the human species is divided into thugs and their victims, except to reduce the human population down below ONE billion again. Which would mean killing six out of every seven people now alive.
OTOH, there are plenty of ways that could happen if the current run of thugs don't get their collective acts together.
What head of ISIS? A gaggle of warlord tribesman?
Oh. I get it. Trump is going to cut off weapons shipments to Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Right?
Whatever.
From what I see the "head" is the Hillary of State and Obama of giving.
Why do they have our guns, trucks, tanks and uniforms? These idiots gave them to them. This stupid group probably had a hand in the "Desert Fox" style Toyota trucks as well.
Trump/Sanders 2016!
Trump can take their oil, Sanders can sell it to pay for our "healthcare" premiums!
ZATO is already doing this, and the oil belongs to syria and iraq indeed.
which one of the two military coalitions operating in that area is the one you mean with "ZATO"? both? only one of the two?
Spin from Tyler "one cannot "take" Islamic State's oil. It isn't theirs for Trump to take. That oil belongs to Syria and Iraq. "
TAKING ISIS's oil does not imply he will give it to anyone. It says he will TAKE their ability to collect Syria amd Iraq's oil, sell that oil, make a profit, and enrich themselves which enables them to recruit more brainwashed muslims to join their ranks, buy weapons and head chopping swords, buy refined gas to advance their legions, and buy food to continue the fight. Indeed Trump has the right idea and Zero needs to quit the spin.
"He said some Greek is going to inherit the Earth!"
He said "Blessed are the Cheese makers"
If Trump isn't anyone's puppet, he'll be dead before the convention; the Mossad/CIA/Rothschild cabal will see to it.
If this happens, it will be the proof that Trump was for real, and the American people will have lost their last chance for true change.
He's not stupid enough to rely entirely on the Secret Service for protection, since they can be compromised by insiders who definitely want him gone. He's wealthy enough to hire some competent bodyguards of his own. So assassination isn't guaranteed to work!
Faerie
You know who will "protect" the Donald in the end!...
Larry Silverstein and George Soros Or else!!!
Give them an iPhone, hooker and liquor.
Trump just spouts bullshit all the time (now that the Non-Islamic Non-State has non-oil we can steal it). His employees in 'Vegas say he treats them like crap. He's just a creep.
Then we have Saint Hillary, along with the fake lure Sanders (feel the Bern you're gonna get)?
If you like your tyrant you can keep your tyrant.
Trump /Cruz 2016 !!
RIP-
Political Correctness
Trump = symptom of just how stupid the average american has become.
Just wait until Trump pulls his schlong out of the race at the last minute and we get sprayed with Hillary love juice.
That was Bush and Obama.
That's a dumb ad. They don't have oil and it's the CIA who's doing the inspiring of these muslim clowns.
No need for a shut down, cause I just told you what's going on.
I agree with you that the phase used ( I have not seen the entire ad) is foolish at best. If it just said "we will quit funding, supplying and training ISIS, IS, ISIL etc, cutting off their proverbial heads", then that would have been enough and opened a lot of questions for the sleeping sheep. "What do you mean we are funding, training and supplying IS, ISIS & ISIL?"
Then you have the proof ready to go. There is a fight going on in the Pentagon right now; lets hope the Military defeat the CIA, NSA, DHS neo-cons.
I love it! Of course, I've always loved loose cannons. They rearrange the deck so thoroughly. Just an idea: there are many ways to make someone pay a bill you want to stick them with. As a cutthroat businessman, that's probably something Trump knows a lot about.
"cut there heads off" and "take the oil"...
And just who's oil is the U.S. military going to facilitate theft from AGAIN?...
Not on Russia, Syria's or soon to be Iraq's watch MOFO!!!
Exactly..!!
The problem is that the american people have been thoroughly brainwashed by US imperialism. 90% won't even stop to think, "Wait, take whose oil?".
ISIS is a rogue group operating within the borders of sovereign nations. You can't just go in an steal their stolen oil.
This whole middle east mess is such a gong show. But what scares me more is how little the people I talk to know or care about the ACTUAL situation. They buy messages like "cut their heads off and take their oil" without even batting an eye.
We are so fucked.
Yes indeed Farmer Joe of "Brooklyn"
If anyone knows the score and our never ending slide down the shit pipe to it's destination it's a New Yorker after September 11, 2001. Still can't believe that after the Commission Report came out in 2004 that pitchforks weren't raised and "heads rolled" in D.C. after what they gave us and that we knew was the "official lie"!... And here we are 14 years later still drinking the same Kool-Aid even after the overwhelming truth has been revealed too many times to be ignored.
Keep fighting the "fight" no matter what, because at the end of this "ride" the only thing any of us will have left is our names and what we know and care about which are the truth(s) and more importantly the fact(s) that gave us the unending occupation(s) of choice and the steady dose of treason in words and deeds through the Patriot Act(s) and NDAA that will never put this Republic together again!
Those who carriy the water and blindly serve and protect the likes of George Soros and the Rothschilds (the U.S. military, Langley and Ft. Meade at the front of the line) will be counted and sooner than we think!
Unfortuneatley I suspects as you probably do as well that Russia will be the new Sherriff that will fix it and not the American people which means this all will inevitably have the ending we know will be the worst!

I studied this guy 35 years ago. You should read this article. There was more to this man than the article suggests. Have you been watching the world markets today?
The head of ISIS, of course, is the House of Saud. If Donald is serious about relieving the House of Saud of the wealth and power they use to do harm in the world, as President he'll be able to pull it off in a matter of hours.
As an encore, he can force Wall Street to cough up the USD500 billion they still owe Israel, so the Jews can use that money to get on with the hard job of healing the world. It's going to take a hell of a lot of it to undo the damage done by Islam and usury.
How did you get to the point where trump even concerns himself with the house of saud? Business necessity aside...
But still, you post a strangely compelling scenario that would never be allowed to unfold.
Trump going to warmonger and steal oil in MENA ? BUSH II ?
Even if meant to steal from the Assad Gov ?
Trump need to go back in an asylum and fast !
US GO HOME !
(The Russian and Assad will be angry too).
i think he is trying to lose. the front runner NEVER takes it wire to wire. he's been trying to get crazier and crazier to get bumped and let jeb come in once he's organized and funded. but people are generally pissed and like to hear another person vent o ntheir behalf.
To the downvoter trumpeter: Truth hurt ? Uhh ?
Go back home and fast !
How about "taking care" of federal government buildings instead of doing shit in other part of the world ?
"This video is not available."
--the WAPO
Uh huh.
Trump is an MSM ceation for the MSI.
Americans - getting what they deserve over and over again.
Actually if we, Americans, or anyone else got what they deserve, then hell would be full of mankind and heaven would be empty of mankind. Likewise, if we have been shown mercy in the heavenly realm, how much mercy have we received in the carnal world? I'll say with all confidence that we have received much and much more than we deserve and that is why it is called mercy. God is indeed very good.
Why is it controversial?
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
George Orwell
I think H. L. Mencken was correct when he said "Democracy is the theory that the common man knows what he wants and deserves to get it good and hard."
When ignorance is bliss. it's folly to be wise!
It should be obvious by now, even in my black list USA government (not the beople) is by far #1 dangerous country for humanity than I$I$ , due to it's run by force that is not human.It ought to be destroyed, stop any election,seize the power(white house and pentagon) kick out every son of bitches from every office up to down discusses what's been wrong with the country openly for one year and come to consensus that $dollar should be printed by people govt, no fund for election no devil worshipers and put zem in bottomless pit.At least this was my wish list to do.
I am saying clean the house or too late that dark cabal power seek to destroy now even its citizen, shit the term 'terrorist' wouldn't have been known to us if a terrorist country itself USA allowed to have such accumulated dark force and run by devil.
Honestly i don't see any human power will able to do this house cleaning, it is too powerful even to be touched except by spiritual means because it's dark spiritual force, remember
http://biblehub.com/ephesians/6-12.htm
'For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 i am coating the Bible.If this verse said 2000 years ago then how about now?
How many of us even accept the existence of GOD? If we don't want to hear God's call to us and ignored HIM and do our stuff on our way and doesn't expect such thing to be reality? Ignorance #1
If we hadn't make God part of our life,then what the fuck we expect GOD to do it about? forbid this from happening to us? Helo you have a freewill if u want it u will get it,and for God to intervene you must diligently pray and ask HIM, right?
Today killing black or anybody on a broad day by a police is not only possible but a reality.
This mass killing and human migration suffering whether be it in ME or USA or Africa is increasing from year to year,just see year 2015 alone and what will be next.We are doomed unless we realize this aspect too.No book even Qur'an (sorry my Muslim brothers) will tell you this reason except the Holy Bible.
If what God has done to Sodom and Gomorrah and put the lesson for us in the Bible why the hell do we allowed it to be legal?Human modernity or ignorance or is it free country or what? Are USA high court, USA congress are above GOD to rewright what was BAD sinn to be human right?
This show GOD's wisdom and patience for everyone to make his mind and buckle up for the end some of you especiall GAY/Faggotes might not like this comment.
How did we come to this point,the cost of silence ?
Where are you from; not the specific city, but country? Our nation is under divine judgment, the Wrath of Abandonment. See Romans 1:28-32 and begin with verse 18 and look at the phrase "God gave them over" and use the NASB, NKJV, ESV or HCS (Holman). If you use the NIV, at least compare the NAS to it.

Well, this ad proves he doesn't want to to win. It's bat shit crazy and speaks to the lowest common denominator.
It's even kind of embarassing. He is lead blocking for the statist GOP eventual nominee.
Oh well....back to prepping for the big show.
"Quickly Cut The Head Off Isis And Take Their Oil"
So Trump endorses theft of private property?
Make smore sense than just blowing up theit oil though, doesn't it?
Perhaps it would sound better if it were restated: "Quickly weed out the neo-cons in the US and western world and cut off their heads and then we'll take their assets".
That is closer to the actual reality.
If he can actually accomplish cutting the head off Isis, I'm sure Iraq and Syria would be happy to pay for it with their stolen oil.
