How many times are they going to do this and expect people to believe them?

tRump posted an ad with a gruff looking miner, and the miner is not an American, but he is a Dutch model!

How many times are people going to fall for this baloney?
And it's not like it is one sided baloney. I have seen it on the other side as well. Granted the CONs do it more frequently, but some Dems have done it as well.
