Donald Trump released his latest attack ad on Instagram, and the material gives just a taste of what the presidential campaign could look like if the billionaire faces off against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the general election. And it isn’t pretty.
The short video i s a mash-up of clips featuring a laughing Russian President Vladimir Putin, ISIS pointing a gun, and a Hillary Clinton barking like a dog—a moment taken out of context from a February stump speech. It’s overlaid with text that starts out “When it comes to facing our toughest opponents…” and goes into snapshots of Putin body slamming an opponent in a white karate uniform and an image of an Arabic-speaking terrorist pointing a gun at the screen.
That all leads into the implication that Clinton is a “punchline” to the U.S.’ Most dangerous opponents as it cuts to a multi-second clip of her barking like a dog, a move that was initially meant to shame Republicans in one of her campaign speeches.
“We don’t need to be a punchline!” The ad concludes.

The Instagram ad posted to Trump’s account Wednesday, a day after he swept even more delegates during the Republican presidential primaries on Tuesday, making it seem ever more likely that he could be headed to the general-election show down against Clinton after her strong performance Tuesday. Clinton nabbed victories in four of the five states that cast ballots in the third Super Tuesday primaries and a virtual tie in Missouri against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
