Pro-Hillary PAC Throws Trump’s Ad Back at Him, Mocks His ‘Good Brain’

The pro-Hillary Clinton super-PAC Priorities USA released a new video Thursday responding to — and reversing — the ad Donald Trump released the previous day.

In Trump’s original video, footage of an ISIS fighter and Russian President Vladimir Putin chuckling and performing mixed martial arts were juxtaposed with Clinton’s unfortunate decision to start barking like a dog in the middle of a rally. It concluded: “We don’t need to be a punchline.”

The Priorities USA video mirrors the structure, opening with the same Putin and ISIS images before cutting to a segment of Morning Joe.

“Who are you consulting with consistently so that you’re ready on day one?” Mika Brzezinski asks Trump.

“I’m speaking with myself, number one,” Trump responds, “because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things,” whereupon the ad cuts to a snickering Clinton and the repurposed tagline: “We don’t need to be a punchline.”
