‘Yikes’: Trump Campaign Runs Ad In Georgia With Embarrassingly Silly Mix-Up

Donald Trump’s campaign ran ads in the state of Georgia showing a beautiful landscape from… the country of Georgia.

The digital ad, captured in reports by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Telegraph, calls on voters in the Peach State to register to vote. “REGISTER TO VOTE FOR TRUMP,” reads the message overlayed on an image of flowers growing on a landscape of rolling hills.

That image can be found on Shutterstock. It’s captioned: “Cloudy morning view of the mountain hill in Upper Svanetia, Georgia, Europe.”

The same image is used in a header on the U.S. State Department website page about the country of Georgia, The Telegraph noted. The country, a former Soviet Union republic, sits at the intersection of eastern Europe and western Asia.
