The production cost to make a glitzy, 30-second, national political ad for a potential president can easily exceed a cool million, more if some famous actor is used. Then there's the cost of actually get the ad played in major media markets that can run several million for big event like a championship game, to around $400K for a spot during a top show in prime time.

So Junior worked real hard to buy his pops a couple of 30 second ads.
