As Donald J. Trump assails Hillary Clinton, calling her corrupt and crooked, a “super PAC” aiding his campaign, Rebuilding America Now, has begun trying to marshal evidence, with nearly $7 million spent so far on this ad, “Dead Broke,” according to Kantar Media/CMAG.

THE AD A deep-voiced, mischievous-sounding narrator accuses Mrs. Clinton and her husband of using their White House ties to enrich themselves through “speeches, connections and donations” to the Clinton Foundation. “We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt,” Mrs. Clinton is heard recalling, before the narrator interrupts, “It didn’t last long.” Figures replete with zeros — up to $25,000,000 — scroll up like a spinning slot machine, followed by a list of sources of those sums, including Saudi Arabia and Lehman Brothers. The ad closes with Mrs. Clinton saying, “It wasn’t easy,” and the narrator again cutting in: “Could have fooled us.”

THE MESSAGEMrs. Clinton is not just corrupt but nefarious, bowing to the whims of “misogynistic regimes” and “corrupt dictators.”

THE TAKEAWAY Mrs. Clinton’s speaking fees were a flash point in the Democratic primary season. But with its slightly cheesy narration and static visuals, the ad lacks the harsh effectiveness of the candidate it is supporting. And by lumping her speech fees in with donations to the Clinton Foundation, whose direct effect on the family’s wealth remains murky, it muddies an otherwise clear line of attack.
