The ad attacks Jeb Bush, and takes a harsh tone on illegal immigration before pivoting to veterans. The man who made the ad, which BuzzFeed News obtained through a Vimeo search, says he is working with the campaign, and “sent it to them for approval.” A Trump spokeswoman, however, denied any affiliation.
On Tuesday morning, the rough cut of an ad supporting Donald Trump appeared on the video-sharing service Vimeo.

Produced by a man named Philip Gatch, whose company is called Cinapse Digital Media, Gatch told BuzzFeed News that the ad was accidentally posted to Vimeo.
"I sent it to them for approval — it's a rough cut," Gatch said, referring to the Trump campaign.
When asked if he is working for the Trump campaign, Gatch replied, "Well, technically right now."
"It says rough cut on it — they're not supposed to post it," he continued. "It says rough cut, because I need to get approval on it. It's not supposed to go out."
When asked whether the campaign had solicited the ad, Gatch said he had no comment.
"I'm not commenting on this right now. I have to go talk to them," Gatch said. The video was set to private – and password-locked – minutes later.
The Trump campaign denied any knowledge of the ad.
"That's not ours, and it's not affiliated with the campaign," Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told BuzzFeed News.
"I can only speak for us," she said, when asked why Gatch said otherwise. "It's not affiliated with the Trump campaign."
The ad opens with horror-movie music playing under a distorted version of the now-infamous of clip of Jeb Bush saying that illegal immigration is “an act of love.”

Then it cuts to a graphic counting up the number of “Americans killed everyday by illegal immigrants.”
