Trump won't have to enforce a ban on Muslims entering the country, if he's president I doubt any Muslim would willingly enter the country anyway.
Scary stuff. Let's hope there's not a mass shooting between now and the election proper, lest he gains more support out of fear.

Well you obviously know your mum best but are you sure you interpreted her correctly here? Want to hear is the key in that sentence. Doesn't say if she herself buys into it or not. Populist is the term you can apply to people like Trump.
Sadly it seems there are more people then I would have thought who wants to hear stuff like this... depressing as it is

It's the exact same campaign slogan as Reagan's. Republicans should just use that one for every candidate from here on, why bother.

"...and take their oil."
Goddamn, I mean, I knew it was coming, it's been his rhetoric for awhile, but it's vile to actually see an actual television ad in the United States calling for discrimination based on religious affiliation.
I had a friend from Syria in high school and I hope he never went back, and to even fathom the thought of him being denied refuge, or his family, no.
Fuck you to hell Trump, and may you burn there forever, you slimy piece of shit.

Is this a trailer for a movie?
Yes and it's called "America: I've made a mistake".
Yeah, Robocop.
Yes, a movie we really, really don't want to be released.

Why do people find it silly that Trump will take ISIS's oil?
Lmao, I don't know why I expected more. It's hilarious seeing the clowns in the dark recesses of the internet who talk about how Trump actually has substantive policies but people just don't listen.
Lol. No he doesn't.
Lol. No he doesn't.

if anything that oil belongs to the iraqi and syrian people not to the US and certainly not to trump personally nor his enterprise.

That honestly felt like a Portlandia sketch.

This is honestly like a satire of a political add on a sketch comedy show. I want to believe this is a giant joke, but I know it isn't and some people will eat this up 
From his "plan":
Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increase fees on all border crossing cards of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees on all NAFTA worker visas from Mexico (another major source of overstays); and increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options]
The Iraqi people? You mean an Iraqi company right? Also BP drills for oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Shouldn't that oil belong to the American people instead of a UK corporation?
ISIS's oil comes from occupied land. Iraqi and Syrian land. That oil belongs to them.

You're not wrong.
Trump will eventually slough off the polls and return to being an obnoxious blowhard on reality TV.
His supporters will keep voting to keep his 'vision' alive for the rest of their lives.
Russia has disabled Isis to a big extent by bombing the oil facilities and trucks. Trump said bomb the oil before Russia even announced their intervention in Syria. Trump really might not even need to go fight for oil in Syria if Russia is able to assist Assad gain the fields back.

This is insane.
What's more worrisome though is that some people actually agree with the drivel being spouted about in the ad. It's this strange subgroup of people who feel like America is some terrible wasteland now because society is shifting away from being intolerant. It's the same people who complain about America being too "PC". As if it's somehow "weak" to try and live together as a community instead of actively antagonizing or being hostile to marginalized groups.
I just don't get it. How can this man have any sort of following? I know comparing someone to Hitler is a stupid thing to say, but that's all I think watching this ad and from Trump himself. Fascist piece of garbage.

Why is it taking him so long to figure it out?

Obvious stupid content aside, that was surprisingly crappy quality.
He calls it Radical Islamic Terrorism....yet he can't figure it out yet. Sounds like you figured it out Trump.
I fear for what America would become if a third of the hate he spews comes to fruition. He should love Reagan....but he's not "tearing down this wall". Building a new Berlin in America.

This is the genius bit though: 1) get a temporary ban "until we can figure out whats going on", then 2) never bother to figure out what's going on.
Result? Permanent ban.

Oil produced in Iraq is subject to profit sharing with the Iraqi government:

Drilling in US federal land and water also requires payment of royalty revenues to the federal government:

This ad looks and feels like it's from someone with zero experience with political advertising. So I guess no one should be surprised. Terrible, terrible VA work, my god. Put some money into sound engineering, too. At least it has the proper clip at the end.
Yeah this is awful. So awful. Please let other people write your ads, Donald. I don't want you to be a campaign that kills itself via its own lousy ads.

I'm not sure they could parody it any better than the real thing.
Why doesn't he do the same thing with Canada? Or are we not dark enough to frighten him and his base?
We're harboring Syrians, after all. I'd like to see him ask Trudeau to build a wall with Canadian taxpayers money.
Most of the Republican candidate videos are like that. Not sure if it's a deliberate style or if it's rushed/cheap, to be honest.
The "liberal arts" people who can make good, polished stuff are probably not working on Republican campaigns.

What's sad is that the rest of the GOP candidates aren't much better. Trump is saying things much of the GOP base are thinking.

If someone showed me that ad and told me it was a parody, I would believe them.
Wowza.
Wowza.
It's probably phrased as vague as possible so that it can be used to permanently keep Muslims out. "We still haven't figured out what is going on. Better keep the immigration ban going."
I'm now 40% (up from 20%) convinced the Clintons put him up to this. This ad falls in line with the "what's the worst thing you could reasonably do next? Ok, let's do it!" strategy.
Bingo - your mother isn't saying she agrees with it; but she's been around long enough to know what resonates with people. Especially for those who remember the Red Scare / Mexicans are taking all of our jobs / <insert scare here> times the US routinely goes through.

This actually sounds like a parody of a trump ad.
