Like a TIE fighter trying to take out the Millennium Falcon, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is targeting President Barack Obama with a new attack ad.
The video opens with a title card that declares, WE ARE IN A SERIOUS WAR, before cuttingto a cable news montage of the ISIS and ISIS-inspired attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. In the background, a menacing rip-off of the Star Wars score plays.
OUR PRESIDENT IS BUSY WITH ANOTHER WAR, the second card reads. The video cuts to Obama telling the White House press corps, Alright everybody, Ive got to get to Star Wars, at the end of a question and answer session.
TIME FOR A LEADER WITH REAL PRIORITIES, the final card reads. TRUMP: Make America Great Again!
Trump debuted the campaign ad on his Facebook page on Tuesday, uploading the videowith thecaption,We need a real President!
Trumps vague but forcefulbluster has helped him stay farahead of his rivals in polls for the Republican nomination. He presentlyleads his nearest opponent, Ted Cruz, by an average of 17 points.
