The Trump Video Banned at the RNC Finally Released

Donald Trump has finally released the full version of his (sort of) anticipated Obama parody video, which was intended to be shown at the Republican National Convention in August, but was ultimately canned by party leaders.

Trump made the video, which his political operatives (who provided the video to Breitbart News) say cost $100,000 to produce, for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign. It was supposed to air at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Tampa last August. Unexpected bad weather threw the convention off schedule, and the Romney campaign never ended up publishing it, though a clip leaked to NBC News’ Today Show in September. Trump allies say Romney’s top political adviser Stuart Stevens and his partner at political consulting group SSG-DC Russ Schriefer made the decision to axe the video.
