The network should start an auction among the other Super Bowl advertisers for the spots before and after the Trump spots.
Not that Trump ever asked me, but I would suggest something like this short video as the ad: “We’re not going to take it”. If you’ve never seen it, trust me. It’s well worth the click.
I just read that Bloomberg is dropping the same amount for a superbowl ad to troll trump.
Man, the timing of this Iran thing is sure interesting. :)
Another waste of 10M.
People don’t watch the Superbowl for political ads.
Friends come together to have fun...not argue or fight.
The only winner here is the network who just got 20M dropped in their laps
Bloomberg dropped $10 million on a add to troll Trump. I expect this is in response to that.

I won’t be watching, no matter.
Please, Donald, run your ads next to gloomberg’s, and make fun of him in your ads! His ads will be nihilistic and full of doom. Make yours funny with biting humor.
Queue footage of middle class minority in morning traffic heading to work, should look like an average unassuming hard-working American not necessarily too cliche (IE; not lunch pail and flannel, or white collar and tie) listening to the radio with the typical left-leaning propaganda dribble moving in and out of auditory focus about how the economy is good but there are experts who want to pour rain on the parade. The driver, who appeared to be in a pleasant mood but showed perturbation at the radio suddenly gets and open stretch of road.
The driver smacks the radio console as if to rebuff the idiotic message, but upon contact the display flickers and an odd but faint blippy sound can be heard.
Show car moving faster and fade-in exciting music, perhaps something instrumental rock anthem-esque
...as the driver hits the gas. Sound of acceleration is audible, as well as a sound vaguely reminiscent of a “flux capacitor” (wont show anything proprietary in order avoid legal conflicts) and the sounds of electrical arching as the needle approaches 86 miles per hour
... then in a flash, the driver shows an emotional reaction of both shock and inquisitiveness as he is decelerating on the same road, but the weather is notably but vaguely different, and as he looks around, he notices a large roadside traffic status sign displaying “Roadwork scheduled on interstate 777 August 31 2016 thru October 22 2016.
Zoom in on 2016. Individual sign bulbs resolve and gleem/blur as the music turns foreboding.
Driver brakes hard and lurches the car to the side of the road. Dust rises up. Close up of driver gripping while with mouth agape.
Driver flings car door open. Looks up and around. “It can’t be 2016! I don’t have a job to go to!”
Just then a calm washes over their face. They notice a butterfly fly by. It lands on a tall wild-flower in the field just feet beyond the car. They walk over. Study the butterfly slowly articulating wings. A slight breeze can be noticed as the music represents emotional epiphany.
A finger approaches the butterfly. It walks on, and for a moment sits as they raid hand toward face for a closer appreciation of the colors.
Then, in a rush, the wings flap and the butterfly darts off, up and off screen. Person blinks and winces as dust/pollen was noticable in their face just after.
SNEEZE!
Screen wash to a breeze bending nearby trees.
Quick bleed to a heavy wind gusts in a notably different locale. Then bleed into hurricane force winds bending palm trees. Fade to black while the background instrumental evokes
Fade in to a motorcade in a large metropolitan area. Several stretched limousines, lead cares, motorcycle police with flashing lights. Weather appears turbulent. Switch inside lead vehicle. Man in dark suit, aviators, and ear peace gets a dispatch. “Sir, we are going to be delayed by weather conditions....” video fades slowly, audio of dispatch fades with slight reverb, and wash slowly as original time traveling driver is getting back into car. Finish fading in as car door slams and wheels kick up roadside dust in a roostertail.
Driver smacks dash radio counsel and shouts “back to 2020!” Blipping sound could be heard. Camera vantage from original roadside spot, dust still dispersing, car grows smaller and crests a distant hill, moving ever faster, as electrical arch-ing sounds can be heard in the distance.
—back to 2020—
Now pulling back onto original highway and merging back into rush hour traffic - use camera filters or post edit for faded dingyier colors (evoke distopian aire).
Same voice on radio as in the start of the first scene reporting on record unemployment numbers. President Clinton promises more government benefits to everyone to compensate for the hard times. As traffic slows several people can be seen on side of road holding up gnarled cardboard signs with unintelligible writing. Tents can be seen in field near roadside. Trash strewn everywhere.
The voice returns on the radio. “After the break, China threatens greater sanctions if the U.S. does not pay down on it’s massive trade deficits, the U.N is asking for more aide to Ukrainian refugees in eastern europe escaping the Russian invasion, the ISIS caliphate has has reached the border of kawait in the South and Isreal in the West and what can be done to stop them, and how the rates for the Clinton revamped affordable care act are raising again for the fourth time this month.

I’m surprised the NFL did not refuse his money outright. They are committed Leftists.
Green Bay Packers vs Kansas City Chiefs with Trump ads. Should be a good one.
I wanna pool my money for a 20 second spot. In my spot I will have a Big Gulp telling his story about how Doomberg assaulted it. Big Gulp will go Woke!!!
