Donald Trump, the front-runner in the Republican primary for president, unveiled his very first campaign video advertisement Monday that included his quick commentary: "I don't know if I need" to do this, but I'm cutting one, just in case.
"I am leading in every poll by wide, double digit margins," he said, in a press release about his ad. "We have tremendous crowds, incredible support from all over the country and I am $35 million dollars under budget. We have spent the least amount of money and have the best results and this is the kind of thinking the country needs. I am very proud of this ad. I don't know if I need it, but I don't want to take any chances because if I win, we are going to make America great again."

The short spot features focuses on Trump's views of national security, border control and radical Islamism.

"The politicians can pretend it's something else," the voice on the video states, as shots of Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook, the San Bernardino Islamic jihadists, and Hillary Clinton and President Obama cut across the screen. "But Trump calls it radical Islamic terrorism. That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims' entry to the United States until we can figure out what's going on."
The voice then states: "He'll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil and he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

And the video wraps with Trump, at a podium, stating his signature campaign tag: "We will make America great again."
The campaign also announced a new radio ad that's due to play in South Carolina this week that features a spot from Nancy Mace, the first Citadel female graduate.
The video clip is due to air in Iowa and New Hampshire beginning Tuesday and is part of Trump's new $1.1 million allocation for television spots in Iowa.
