Releases first TV ads

Trump releases his first TV ads. He says he will spend at least $2 million a week. The ads outline his policy proposals. He says he has six to eight ads in production and that his was a “major buy and it’s going to go on for months.” He said he hopes the spots impress upon undecided voters that the country has become “a dumping ground.”

We’ve got to get smart fast — or else we won’t have a country…I’m $35 million to $40 million under budget, and to be honest, I don’t think I need [ads] because I have such a big lead. But I don’t want to take any chances, and I almost feel guilty not spending money.
