In his final ad of the 2016 election, Donald Trump is reiterating his central campaign promise: to replace "a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people." In the two-minute spot, clips from the past two decades of politics — including footage of Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, former President Bill Clinton discussing NAFTA, President Obama announcing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and Hillary Clinton meeting with world leaders — are shown while audio from a speech Trump gave on Oct. 13 plays over the top, urging voters to rebuke the "global power structure" and support his movement's quest for change.

"The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you," Trump is shown saying, cued up with a dramatic pause in the ominous piano music. "I'm doing this for the people, and for the movement, and we will take back this country for you." You can watch Trump's ad below, and catch Clinton's final ad of the campaign here. Kimberly Alters
