Trump Ads Appear on Pornhub |
LOS ANGELES—Some of the visitors to Pornhub this week got a surprise when pop-up ads featuring Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared on their computer screens. The ads show Trump making various goofy facial expressions and include a quote attributed to him from either before or during his notorious campaign. A few of the quotes include, "I love Hispanics," "I have a great relationship with the blacks," and, "You have to treat [women] like shit." The ethnic-themed ads are tied to Pornhub search terms such as “Latino" and "Ebony," according to the Daily Dot. Clicking the ads takes users to the official website of Trump's campaign, where a donation amount of $69 is already filled in as a suggestion. But despite the link to Trump's donation page, the ads are not intended to be either for or against Trump, according to the ad campaign's spokesman, Tom Chandler. Instead, Chandler said they are intended to make you think.
