And DU has no control over what Google sends you. Actually that ad makes sense since you are at a place with Trump all over it. Google doesn't pick ads based on your political beliefs, but on text of websites you visit (and other things, of course).

I will look into AdBlock, however it is somewhat informative to know what the enemy is up to.
