Trolling Trump fans with absurd ads for the candidate

They have a real focus group of actual Trump supporters and they show them fake ads (of course they are told they are real) and see what their reaction is. Its quite hilarious.

When Triumph's creator first put on that hand puppet and found that voice, an unstoppable, manic, force of nature was born. I've been laughing at the videos ever since.

where, as the depictions of that religion's dogmas became more and more bizarre, the phrase "Scientologists Actually Believe These Things&quot or something close to that) kept running at the base of the screen.

In this case, it would be "These Trump Supporters Actually SUPPORT These Things".

Not of the entire population. I accept that 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 people are complete idiots. That is just the world we live in and it aint changing anytime soon.

Go to countries like the UK and German and scary right wing parties, much more frightening than the GOP (minus trump) get significant minorities in the elections.

... he still justified the ads by claiming that Trump would surround himself with smart people, so it's okay. He acted like it was Trump brainstorming where there's "no bad ideas."

All of them were embarrassingly gullible, with some of them borderline psychopathic (possibly due to outright ignorance).
