Trump Campaign To Fly Message Through The Skies Ahead of Tonight’s Dem Debate

Twelve presidential primary candidates will vie for the Democrat Party’s nomination during a debate tonight in the Buckeye State. The CNN/New York Times debate at Otterbein University kicks off at 8: pm ET and will last until 11: 00 pm. While the candidates will almost certainly lob attacks against President Trump during the course of the evening, the president’s campaign will launch a message of its own before the event.

According to Trump campaign Director of Communications Tim Murtaugh, the president’s campaign will fly a banner through the Ohio skies that reads “Socialism Destroys Ohio Jobs. Vote Trump.” The sign will fly for a total of six hours with a break between the first and second three-hour flights. The banner will also invite readers to “Text ‘USA’ 88022.”

If you’re near Westerville, Ohio today - site of another calamitous Dem debate - look up!@TeamTrump is flying another aerial banner warning voters of threatened big government socialism.

From noon-3 and from 3:45-6:45, this 35-foot by 105-foot banner will dominate the skies. pic.twitter.com/gWfzXGWfRJ

The president’s campaign flew a banner ahead of the Houston Democrat debate last month. It delivered a similar message: “Socialism Will Kill Houston’s Economy! Vote Trump 2020”
