      “Our newspaper is in such dire financial straits that we can’t afford to turn down any adveriser.” does bad things to employee morale and shareholder enthusiasm (which we all know is what really matters). When the truth is too damning, you cannot run with it.

    You know when you see a minivan completely covered in homemade signs about trump and Jesus and illuminati and stuff? Like it looks so unhinged that you just feel bad for the mental health of the person driving it?

    That’s what this ad looks like. It looks like how Trump thinks. Unwell.

    The fun part of this though is that the ad looks like the sort of thing crazies used to tape to telephone poles before the advent of the Internet era. It’s like the Timecube of political newspaper ads.

    So it will not help Trump in the slightest. It was a huge waste of money.
