Earlier today "presidential candidate" Donald Trump posted this video on his verified Instagram account. It seems to be a blatant attack ad aimed at Hillary Clinton, who if you haven't heard is also running for president but on the Democratic side of things. It's kind of a strange strategy, since Trump's direct competition at the moment are actually other Republican candidates, but those would probably be the targets if Trump as really trying to snap the GOP nomination and run for president instead patronizing far right conservatives. But hey, what do we know?

The general gist is that Hillary is some sort of long-running malicious force in American politics, on par with an evil emperor or dictator. The commercial (which we can't imagine running on any TV station any time soon) features footage of Clinton laughing superimposed over various headlines and reliefs, with petty much no connecting context. The highlight is when it shows her laughing with footage of the American embassy in Benghazi burns in the background.

Subtle, Trump. Subtle.
