With their boss growing increasingly agitated with the state of his re-election campaign and with the efforts of Republican critics to undermine it, President Trumps team hatched a plan. Theyd run a series of hard-hitting ads and place them on networks that they knew the president and congressional Republicans would watch, the Daily Beast reports.
And so, over the past month, the Trump campaign has spent slightly more than $400,000 on cable news ads in the Washington, D.C., area, buying time largely on Fox News but with some smaller buys on CNN and MSNBC as well
The ads began running in late May and are scheduled through June 23. It is, on a purely electoral level, a remarkably quixotic use of campaign cash. The purchases have no real shot of moving D.C., Maryland, or Virginia into the Trump column.
