WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Donald Trump has released a new campaign ad - a montage of the ongoing protests across campuses in the United States.

The ad, however, does not feature pro-Palestine protests at colleges from coast to coast; instead, it focuses on the counter-protesters who are shown defending the American flag from anti-Israel protesters while holding the Jewish state's flag, according to Meidas Touch.

The video, posted on Truth Social, includes multiple clips from right-wing news outlets about pro-Israel demonstrations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Mississippi.

"I think the most popular college students right now are the ones at UNC. God bless those UNC frat guys for taking down the Palestinian flag and putting up Old Glory," a part of the ad said.

The ad also promoted those opposed to pro-Palestine protests inside campuses as "patriots."



 

Trump's ad features frat boys who insulted Black woman

Nearly a minute into the montage, the ad cuts to a group of White frat boys from the University of Mississippi who racially insulted a pro-Palestine Black woman.

The GOP presumptive nominee used the footage from a video on X, which Stacey Spiehler, a University of Mississippi student, first shared.

Though the video briefly featured the Black female, it cuts away before another student spouts racial gestures against her.

"Giving us some hope there that not all college students have gone woke," the video said while playing the footage from Ole Miss.



 

In the original video that went viral, a group of White frat boys insulted the Black woman's weight, calling her "Lizzo," likening her to the rapper. The group also yelled "lock her up," along with explicit words like "b****" and "F*** you fat a**."

In addition, one man from the group imitated noises and gestures of a monkey spewing racial insults towards the woman.

Since the protests began at Columbia University in New York, which soon spread to other campuses, Trump has been critical of the anti-Israel demonstrations. He even tried to sell a baseless conspiracy theory, claiming the pro-Palestine protesters at campuses were staged to distract everyone from the migrant influx at the southern border.

Internet slams Trump

Netizens lashed out at Trump for including the clips of frat boys who spewed racial slurs towards the Black woman at the University of Mississippi.

One user wrote, "Won’t get a retweet from me. He’s deplorable." Another remarked, "Hate and division are tRump’s go to strategy."



 



 

"Jesus Christ. The man is attracted to the lowest common denominator as if gravity itself pulled him to it," a third user added. Meanwhile, someone else described the ad as "Disgusting."

Another user said, "This is a new low...even for Trump. Good lord."



 



 



 

A sixth response read, "Disgusting behavior." An individual claimed, "He’d mimic the devil if that would get him adoration!"

"Seriously? How can anyone vote for this misfit?" another fumed.
