US President Donald Trump is making Ukraine great again with a new campaign ad featuring foreign stock footage of the former Soviet bloc country. On Thursday, a report of ABC News says the new television spot weaves in widely available footage of Ukrainian and Italian models, and a Ukraine warehouse, as representative of a United States in decline under Joe Biden. The footage was titled, “Great American Comeback”. Point to be noted that the alleged video is running in battleground states and highlighting the August jobs report before weaving in the European footage of supposed Americans and business lights going out.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden also said, “I would shut it down in the background”. The alleged ad says, “In the race for a vaccine, the finish line is approaching, safety protocols in place, and the greatest economy the world has ever seen coming back to life. But Joe Biden wants to change that. Why would we ever let Biden kill countless American businesses, jobs, and our economic future when President Trump’s great American comeback is now underway”. The ABC News also confirmed one of the buildings used in the footage and quoted video production company PromZone Media Group.

The alleged video is about 20 seconds clip and it is a Ukrainian wallpaper warehouse. It shows that a woman at the 15-second mark looking concerned.

It quoted ad service firm CMAG saying the ad was running across North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan with about half a million dollars in the advertising budget.
