  • On Wednesday, a promotional ad for President Donald Trump aired on Fox News during Jesse Watters' show, featuring an anti-communist message with a disclaimer stating it was 'paid for by the U.S. government.'
  • The 30-second commercial, titled 'America Will Never Be a Communist Country,' features UFC CEO Dana White from the 2024 Republican National Convention praising Trump, set to the song 'Love Me' by JMSN.
