WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign is making its biggest ad buy to date, with plans to spend upward of $10 million on commercials airing over the next week or so.

The campaign is expecting to air a new ad focused on the economy as soon as Monday in nine states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida, where the campaign has already been on the air, along with New Hampshire, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and Nevada — all battleground states.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has so far been badly outspent by his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and groups supporting her. Since clinching her party's nomination in early June, Clinton has spent more than $77 million on television and radio advertising, largely targeting voters in battleground states, according to Kantar Media's political ad tracker.

Trump finally hit the airwaves earlier this month with an ad focused on immigration, and so far has only spent about $5 million.

1. Is there an app

to *bleep* out the word "Trump" from all of cable TV?

2. I wonder if they'll be as high quality

as his steak commercial.

9. And hopefully better than his steaks!

11. hehehe

I heard they were particularly shitty steaks.

13. The reviews are famously hilarious

This fucking asshole was asking $199 for six burger patties. That's about $33 per burger. If I get a $33 burger it needs to come with a side order of three more burgers, a big basket of fries and four Cokes.

15. I had a $15.00 burger once

It was actually the best damn burger I've ever had.

But yeah...$33.00 for a trump burger? No.

[jmowreader]

16. Not "$33 for a Trump burger"

$33 for a piece of frozen, raw meat you can hopefully turn into a burger.

And because I gotta...

3. Does this make you happy?

[world wide wally]

4. You know that all the ads will do, is to slime Hillary.

I can't think of anyone who has damaged this country more than Trump. Except maybe Bush.

5. Day off. Have Fox News on. He's flooding it with his ads.

But then he's also campaigning in Texas and Mississippi.

10. Flooding Fox with ads is just preaching to the choir. n/t

[Democat]

6. Every Trump ad will get free media coverage, while Clinton's will be ignored

Just like with John Kerry.

Every ad bashing John Kerry was played on the news for free nonstop.

7. I guess California is spared, thankfully (n/t)

[jtuck004]

8. They should get their money up front.n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. For sure!

14. Open that spigot and bleed, donald.

We want to see you financially bleed out.

[PSPS]

17. Too late, I'm afraid. All the watched time slots have been sold.

I'm sure the media will replay them endlessly as "news," though.
