Brutal New 'Back To School' Ad Featuring Donald Trump As A Bus Driver Is Going Viral—And Hoo Boy

Anti-Trump "Back To School" ad

Rep. Eric Swalwell released a new ad asking parents why they would trust Trump 'with your country' if they wouldn't trust him with their kids.

A new political ad demonstrating why U.S. voters shouldn't cast their ballot for former Republican President Donald Trump has gone viral.

Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell of California used his campaign to fund the anti-Trump ad featuring a Trump impersonator at the helm of a school bus.


The clip starts with a mother sending her daughter off to school at the bus stop, lovingly telling her to "have a great day at school."

Things turn ominous as the yellow school bus pulls up and the door opens to reveal "Trump" at the wheel.

He touts his accomplishments like being a "dictator on day one", overturning "Roe v. Wade ", and predicting "fire, fury" and "bloodbath" if he is not elected.

The mother turns to the young child and says, "You know what honey? I'm gonna drive you today."

Trump shrugs off the rejection and continues down the road and knocks over nearby garbage bins on the street as he composes a social media post on his phone, referring to himself as “A Very Stable Genius!!!!!”

The ad ends with a tagline, asking parents:

"If you wouldn't trust him with your kid, why would you trust him with your country?

Swalwell, who previously ran in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, shared the ad on X and doubled down on the message in the caption:

"It’s BACK TO SCHOOL time in America."
"And if we don’t trust Trump with our kids, we can’t trust him with our country."

You can see the ad here.

Social media users gave it a huge thumbs-up.









The clip Swalwell spearheaded was created by writer-producer David Grae, editor Michael Lim, and composer W.G. Snuffy Walden as part of an effort along with congressional Democrats to appeal to a younger generation of Democrats.

It was released on various high-profile social media platforms ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from August 19–22.

The ad also serves as a reminder of Trump's erratic behavior by using the metaphor of a school bus to demonstrate that he could jeopardize the future of our democracy if he were to lead the country for a second term.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
