A Young Cancer Survivor Scolds Donald Trump

[left-of-center2012]

THE AD Flashing “cancer survivor” tattoos on his forearms, Dante Latchman, 17, tells of surviving a rare spinal-cord affliction that was diagnosed when he was 1.
“I’ve spent my whole life fighting back,” he says. He is shown watching television and seeing Mr. Trump mock a reporter (Serge Kovaleski of The New York Times) who has a condition that limits the functioning of his joints.
“I don’t want a president who makes fun of me, I want a president who inspires me,” Dante says. “That’s not Donald Trump.”

The ad drives home its theme — a “Stop Hate” graphic flips to say “Stop Trump” — as Dante is seen walking down the sidewalk with his mother, his gait noticeably laborious.

4. I'm going to try not to sound ... judgmental when I say this.

I work with many poor families, one in particular where the father is uneducated, racist, gun-loving, "don't tread on me," Obama-hating, Hillary hating, liberal hating and is on disability because if he gets off it, he'll "have to pay child support."

He loves Trump. But he's not voting for him, because he saw the ad of Trump mocking a disabled reporter and his daughter is disabled. He hates Hillary, but he's not voting for Trump or anyone else now.

It's a brilliant ad.
