Say what you will about Trump and his team, they know how to get their message out in a different way than most modern politicians, especially Republicans. Democrats have tended to use their surrogates for the hits, with the media providing even more as they amplify it. Republicans have just wilted. Not Trump
Trump campaign flying anti-socialism banner above Democratic debate
President Trump’s reelection campaign will be flying a banner attacking socialism in Houston on Thursday, shortly before Democratic presidential candidates take the debate stage there.
An official with the campaign told ABC News that the group plans to fly a banner that reads, “Socialism will kill Houston’s economy,†from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The third Democratic presidential debate is scheduled to begin an hour later.
The campaign also plans to take out two full-page advertisements in local newspapers taking aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Vice President Joe Biden and former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Julián Castro. The ads will run in Houston and in San Antonio, where Castro was born, the campaign said.
Erin Perrine, deputy communications director for the campaign, said in a statement that “every single Democrat candidate has job killing, economy crushing policies that won’t work for America.â€
“Team Trump is here to remind them and let everyone in Houston know what a complete disaster Democrats are for America,” Perrine added.
And what happens? Well, media folks are publishing articles about this, so people find out. Even if the TV folks refuse to show the banner, it will show up on social media and be spread around and people will see it. And then the news media will publish stories on it Friday. The cost?
Both the ads and the fly-over banner cost the campaign around $7,500, ABC News reported.
That’s $7,500 well spend. This will make a nationwide impression for just $7,500.
.@realDonaldTrump is a master of communication and branding, so we’re reaching into our bag of tricks.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s @TeamTrump!https://t.co/m6X7XP2DYE

That was from Labor Day weekend, when those banners flew, for just $20,000. Maximizing the views.
