As the Internet begins to dissect Donald Trump’s latest FEC filing, here’s one payment that stands out: $35,000 to a firm named “Draper Sterling” in New Hampshire for web ads.
Lots of people asking if I'm joking about Trump's 35K in payments to an ad firm called "Draper Sterling"

Like the two main characters from the TV show “Mad Men” about the advertising industry? Unreal:
Trump had to pay "Draper Sterling" $35k in May for advertising because no other agency was sure how to pitch his 1960s era views on women.

Oh wow. Draper would've had a fit & told off his new client despite Sterling fretting about losing a new account. https://t.co/hwiEBbzhT5

The address is actually a residence in Londonderry:

And since recently fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is from New Hampshire, this seems kind of important:
