Trump advert lambasted on social media

(FILES) - A file picture taken on December 15, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, shows Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a presidential debate. Good. Bad. Stupid. When it comes to his choice of words, Donald Trump keeps it simple. So simple, in fact, that even a nine-year-old can get what the Republican White House frontrunner is saying, according to a test developed for the US Navy. AFP PHOTO/ ROBYN BECK / AFP / ROBYN BECK

London -

Her eyes out on stalks, this Donald Trump fan was clearly overcome when she encountered the US presidential hopeful’s blond comb-over in all its glory at a rally.

Whether she had heard about his latest controversy is another matter.

The first TV campaign advert for the 69-year-old, who is leading the way to become the Republican party’s candidate, was found to contain misleading footage - and was lambasted on social media as a result.

The film, which promises to build a wall on America’s southern border and seemed to show Mexican migrants crossing in to the US, in fact played scenes shot at a border in Morocco.

Trump’s spokesman Hope Hicks said: ‘The use of this footage was intentional and selected to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border.’

On Tuesday it emerged MPs will debate a petition calling for Trump to be banned from Britain after he said Muslims should be barred from entering the US - as well as a rival one saying he should be allowed in.
