In a new TV Azteca ad for the upcoming soccer match between the U.S. and Mexico, U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump predicts some "serious trouble" for America. Thanks to some strategic splicing of Trump's comments with shots of victorious Mexican soccer players, the Mexican TV channel pulls off an ad that effectively uses The Donald's very own words against the soccer team of the country he plans to make great again.
"Our country is in serious trouble," Trump declares, followed by a shot of Mexico scoring a goal. "We don't have victories anymore." Watch the clever ad below. Becca Stanek
