<p>Just five days before the midterm elections in the US, President Donald Trump and his Republican Party have posted an advertisement which has infuriated the online world.</p>

<p>The racially charged political ad, tweeted by Trump on Wednesday, accuses Democrats of plotting to help Central American "invaders" overrun the nation with police killers.</p>

<p>"It is outrageous what the Democrats are doing to our Country. Vote Republican now!" Trump has said in his tweet.</p>

<p>The ad - produced for the Trump campaign - features Luis Bracamontes, a Mexican man who had previously been deported but returned to the US and was convicted in February in the killing of two California deputies.</p>

<p>"I'm going to kill more cops soon," a grinning Bracamontes is shown saying in court as captions flash across the screen reading "Democrats let him into our country. Democrats let him stay".</p>

<p>While some Twitter users have compared this ad to George Bush's racist ad on Willie Horton, others called it "a new low in campaigning".</p>
