Watch this Trump-loving GOP lawmaker teach his children how to 'build the wall' in this bizarre campaign ad

The bar is high to earn the title of "most out-there political ad of 2018," but Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) has just submitted a worthy contender.

DeSantis recruited his entire family to help convey the message — in the most crystal-clear way possible — that he fully supports President Trump. His wife, Casey DeSantis, opens the campaign ad by reminding viewers that Trump has endorsed the Florida lawmaker. It quickly cuts to a montage of DeSantis playing with his children, encouraging one to "build the wall" with blocks, and reading another a story about Trump saying "you're fired."

DeSantis, who is running for governor of the Sunshine State, has his house and family decked out in "Make America Great Again" gear for the video, even though his wife insists he's "so much more" than just a Trump supporter. Watch the ad for the "conservative warrior" below. Summer Meza
