    The EXACT same thing. Trump even echoes it. He was for the Iraq War before he was against it.

    To be fair, the Make America Great Again PAC is an alliance between the Trump campaign and the RNC. It says so right on the front page. So, this IS a Trump campaign piece.

    it’s a PAC and PAC is not the campaign. Clearly it’s in alliance with the campaign...

    LMAO

    More than likely a Graphic Designer simply found the asthetics of a Russian jet better than an American jet.. and here you go into hysterics.

    Meanwhile, it's a freakin' silhouette, with no Russian markings on it.

    If these are the hills you're going to make your stand on... wow.

    I would have to question the wisdom of anyone who would vote for Trump, who, were he not elected, such buffoons who lurked in the mud would not have hatched forth to positions of influence.

    Your dishonest attempt to dance past it by pretending that it isn’t a campaign piece is noted.

    You would have said that regardless of who the candidate was.

    Maybe the Democrats should have put up a reality TV star or a professional wrestler.

    That would get folks like you going!

    Because it's not....the Campaign didn't create it or run it...a PAC that supports the campaign did.

    Likely with the modern DNC, since it's been taken over completely by the radicals.

    A JFK dem...likely not

    Doesn't he always turn to Putin for support of anything and everything???...with the treasonous support of a few so-called Americans ?

    A PAC directly affiliated with the campaign. It says so right on the first page. of course, you are still trying to dance past that.

    The planes in the ads are FA-18 Super Hornets and not Mig-29s. The image in the ad shows a jet with three hard point pylons for external weapons. The FA-18 Super Hornet has three weapons pylons:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=fa+...UO7J4KHSiQB5EQ_AUoAnoECBQQBA&biw=1443&bih=790

    The Mig-29 has four hardpoint pylons under the wings:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=mig...UIip4KHQSqBmAQ_AUoAnoECBsQBA&biw=1443&bih=790

    Hard point pylons are integral to wing design and cannot be modified. The ninny who claimed the jets in the ads are Russian must of skipped the "How to count" portion of his education.

    Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this whole thread is the fact that the difference between the two planes is pretty obvious if you know what to look for. Is this sort of triviality supposed to have any substance? I mean, even if they were Russian planes (and they absolutely are not), what difference would it make? Would it reflect badly on the President who isn't a graphic artist and didn't compose the graphic? Is it supposed to sway the public? Is the mis-identification of jets going to somehow try to make the President look incompetent in light of the fact that Joe Biden wouldn't know it was Wednesday if not for the fact he was served blue Jello? And really, who is foolish enough to make a big deal out of this when literally a 30 second Google search would show the differences between the two plane?

    This is clearly not real.

    A simple google image search for that shows that the image is used all over the place mostly in the media.

    Just more lefties spending time in mom's basement creating faux outrage.
