The ad was intended to promote veterans' issues. The original video shows Trump speaking while sitting at a desk before cutting away to the shot of the Russian veterans.

“Our great veterans are being treated terribly,” Trump says while seated at a desk.

“The corruption in the Veteran’s administration, the incompetence is beyond. We will stop that. Illegal immigrants are treated better, in many cases, than our veterans. That's not happening if Trump becomes president. Believe me, our veterans will be proud again," he adds.

Since it was first posted, the video has been changed to replace the picture with one of the business mogul greeting a man with prosthetic arms who appears to be a veteran.

The Trump campaign made a similar gaffe in its first television ad focusing on immigration that showed images of Morocco while warning against immigrants coming through "our southern border."
