Why are there Trump ads paid for by Donald J. Trump for President that popup here? Is it like an outside ad service that you can't control?

I assume he's paying per click

(60,352 posts)It is all based on what you search on and sites you visit. I was researching some paint sprayers and now all my adds are for paint related items. Or cars because I am always looking at new cars.
When I see the ads that I don't want to see, click on the ad choices link and turn the ads off that you don't like.
