Shared on Twitter on the day of the presidential election, Royal Jordanian airline's ad reads: "Just in case he wins ... Travel to the US while you're still allowed to!"

The advertisement has since gone viral on Twitter, accumulating over 2000 likes and over 1400 retweets since it was posted nine hours ago.

The campaign was well received, with some commenting that the airline should win an award for its topical tagline.
