The Political TV Ad Archive, powered by the Internet Archive, is pulling together resources from a variety of sources to create an archive of political TV ads in key primary states. Each ad has its own canonical web page (sample here), and associated downloadable metadata. Some metadata are added by the Internet Archive; some generated via the media itself (such as count of ads, how many times an ad has aired, etc.); and some come from our partners.

This ad from Priorities USA features audio of Trump calling his temperament his strongest asset before cutting to a litany of inflammatory remarks. The remarks don’t include any context of what Trump was talking about. Here are the excerpted clips with context:
• "I’d like to punch him in the face, I’ll tell you," referring to a protester
• "I would bomb the s--- out of them," referring to ISIS and their oil assets
• "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters," referring to the loyalty of his voters
• "And you can tell them to go f-- themselves," referring to businesses that left the United States
• "Get him out of here! Get him out of here!" referring to a Black Lives Matter protester who interrupted his rally
The ad then fades to a scrolling text of Trump’s name as the audio of Trump continues to play, "Get the h--- out of here." Again, that’s in reference to the protester, and not Trump himself.
