The Trump campaign's hired a plane to fly a banner over Houston ahead of #DemDebate3. The message: "Socialism will kill Houston's economy! Vote Trump 2020" https://t.co/tjwbja1eJU via @ABC13Houston — Ashley Sutton (@AshSuttonSA) September 12, 2019

Via ABC News:

While some may be anticipating sparks to fly between Democratic candidates onstage, the Trump campaign plans to literally fly its counter messaging in the air above Houston ahead of Thursday’s debate.

[…]

“Socialism will kill Houston’s economy!” the ad reads, along with a number to text, according to a rendering provided to ABC News by a Trump campaign official.

The ad will be flown between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. central time, according to the story.
