I honestly don't understand why they don't do that all the time.

With how much Trump criticizes Trump, you'd think it'd be easy approval.

It's called Vampire Effect and it's a real problem with commercials featuring celebrities, because people tend to remember the person, but not the message/product. So showing clips of Trump would just give him even more exposure.

Ohh, that makes sense.

I can see why they don't do it for paid commercials but it should definitely be on their streaming channel so that it can be shared and go viral.

It's only a matter of time until a campaign understands the power that can be unleashed by a couple bored interns.

Open with clip - "15 years ago I was DA of San Fransisco." Transition to clip of Trump saying this stupid." -- crowd applause as it fades to, "I approve this message"
