It's not damning like you think it is.

And of course you won't hear about it. It's NOT newsworthy.
"Company Provides Paid Service To Political Candidates, Details at 11".
ANYONE spending millions on facebook marketing WILL get hands on attention from facebook staff. If Clinton marketed on facebook (which she did), then she had the SAME services that OrangeDick McFuckface did. It's not illegal, nefarious, or even notable.
The only reason you know about Trump having said service was this interview that keeps being posted ad naseum by people who don't understand how the internet works.

Ridiculous.
