Who the hell came with that image? Eric Trump? Or maybe the same idiot that thought that taking a picture of Trump holding the Bible was a great idea?

Are we going to invade BRAZIL now? I thought Trump and Bolsonaro were simpatico amigos? (And I ‘know’ Brazil speaks Brazilian Portuguese but I don’t know how to say BUDDIES in that language.)

It is very tempting to chuckle or deride, but ads like these are intentionally crafted and designed to find the “right sort of people.” Just like those poorly spelled and grammatically laughable emails in your spam box asking you to help a Nigerian prince, ads like these are trolling for responses from the stupid. If you are smart enough to know that this world famous statue is found not in the U.S. but in Brazil, they don’t want to hear from you.

I always had visions of a giant Christ the redeemer sized statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman placed on the top of Stone Mountain. You know, just as a reminder.

Note there’s nothing in the ad that identifies it or its location (outside the US, and, obviously, outside Trump’s jurisdiction). The Trump campaign KNOW they can get away with that because their followers are such ignorant cretins.
