New Clinton Ad Suggests Trump Might Unleash Nukes as President

Hillary Clinton campaign's newest ad issues an old warning: Donald Trump can't be trusted in "times of crisis," and just "one wrong move" might unleash a nuclear bomb.

The 30-second ad, titled "Just One," hits the campaign's familiar anti-Trump theme — the GOP nominee lacks the temperament and judgment to be commander in chief.

"In times of crisis, America depends on steady leadership, clear thinking, and calm judgment," the narrator says. "Because all it takes is one wrong move."

"Just one," the narrator concludes, as the sound effect of a bomb launch plays.

The ad also runs clips of Trump telling supporters he plans to "bomb the [expletive] out" of ISIS, and knows more about the radical Islamic jihadist group than the generals do.

It also features Trump saying "and you can tell them to go [expletive] themselves" — though Trump only mouthed the F-bomb and never said it during a rally criticizing businesses for leaving the United States.

But Clinton also used a similar strategy during the 2008 Democratic primary fight with then-Sen. Barack Obama, releasing an ad questioning whether the senator from Illinois would have the experience necessary to keep the country safe when the phone rang at 3 a.m.
