1. Excellent Ad

This has to make a difference, even with the most adamant T supporters.

3. The brainwashed personality-cult true believers will consider it fake news, since Trump's defenders

in the administration are screaming that it's fake. (Even the ones who know damn well it's true, but who need Trump to win so they can cling to power.)

But it should sway all but the most brainwashed and the most corrupt and immoral.

5. I hear you. I know people who won't believe it but many will.

If an ad can change perception, this is one of them.

7. Sadly, I know Republicans that brainwashed, too. But I still have hope this

might shake the widow of a career officer, a woman who voted for Trump and probably can't begin to imagine anyone saying what Trump said.

9. That's how I feel too.

The tide may be turning with this recent news.

2. Already at over 300K views on Twitter. Needs more YouTube views, only 1K there so far.

4. Now at nearly 400K views on Twitter.

6. Predictably, there are comments on Twitter

claiming that the story must be a hoax because they got this ad out so quickly, meaning they must have known beforehand that it was coming out and somehow conspired to release a pre-made ad when the story launched. Nonsense, of course; techies with editing skills can put these things together in a matter of hours. But any explanation will suffice to defend Dear Leader, I guess.

8. Trump supporters are delusional and/or amoral enough to telll any lie to defend him.
