Odd advertisement

I want to start out by saying this is not a political posting; I personally don't care who you plan to vote for.
I saw an advertisement here on UHH for a Trump lighter, which I thought was kind of odd. The thing is, it's a flameless lighter, electric sparks only. A lighter like this would be difficult to use for lighting most anything except for cigarettes. Cigarette smoking is the number 1 cause of cancer. Many, many more people will die this year from smoking related illness than will die from COVID. Smoking related illnesses are a major contributor to increased cost of health and life insurance. Uninsured and under insured people suffering from smoking related illnesses cost USA taxpayers roughly 80 billion dollars anually. Like I said, I thought is was a very odd advertisement.

It came up on my computer also and I don't think I posted anything remotely political and I'm also a life long non smoker.

Their algorithms can be mysterious. I haven’t seen it.

What's political about this?...thanks for the warning.
I've never seen a cigarette or smoking related advertisement here on the UHH web site or any other web site that I recall. I thought it was odd to see this advertisement for a product that's virtually only usefull for lighting cigarettes. It just happens this lighter is "The TRUMP 2020 Electric lighter". If it were "The Biden 2020 Electric lighter", I would have commented just the same. The only Biden lighters I could find are zippo style lighters that can be used to light candles on a childs birthday cake.
