Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump took to Twitter to blast Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton, for a new ad splicing together a number of Trump’s statements about women.
Trump said one of the statements used in the ad is out of context, explaining he was referencing China when he said they could “go f— themselves.”
The pathetic new hit ad against me misrepresents the final line. "You can tell them to go BLANK themselves" – was about China, NOT WOMEN!

Crooked Hillary Clinton put out an ad where I am misquoted on women. Can't believe she would misrepresent the facts! My hit was on China

Amazing that Crooked Hillary can do a hit ad on me concerning women when her husband was the WORST abuser of woman in U.S. political history

“Priorities USA’s ads Monday represented the first of a reported $130 million ad campaign designed to help turn out female, black, and Latino voters, many of whom polls have shown to be turned off by Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric,” according to Business Insider.
The New York Times notes the ad is scheduled to begin airing on Wednesday in four swing states.
“The group’s $6 million investment includes two ads that offer scathing critiques of Mr. Trump’s comments about women that will run for the next three weeks in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Nevada,” reports The New York Times.
Trump also criticized Clinton for saying she would put her husband, former president Bill Clinton, in charge of the economy, referencing the “energizer,” which is reportedly the nickname of one of Bill Clinton’s alleged mistresses.
Crooked Hillary said her husband is going to be in charge of the economy.If so, he should run,not her.Will he bring the "energizer" to D.C.?

How can Crooked Hillary put her husband in charge of the economy when he was responsible for NAFTA, the worst economic deal in U.S. history?
