Trump personally helped orchestrate taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies: CNN
The taxpayer-funded spots, created in-house by the White House, aired on Fox NFL broadcasts and drew bipartisan criticism over their political messaging.
- President Donald Trump has personally driven the creation of government-funded video ads promoting his policies, a source told CNN. The latest message aired during NFL broadcasts on Sunday, according to media tracker AdImpact.
- The newest ad shows Trump walking down a hall, echoing rhetoric from a 2023 Veterans Day speech. Critics note the video mirrors content posted on Truth Social during his third presidential campaign.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters Monday the message 'shouldn't be paid for with taxpayer dollars.' GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas echoed those concerns, while White House officials insisted the spots 'are very clearly not campaign ads.'
- Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, warned the ads 'may be felony criminal theft' and a Hatch Act violation. Government employees involved could face congressional inquiries.
- The ads feature the text 'Paid for by the US Government' at the end, though multiple members of Trump's political operation claimed they were unaware of the rollout. Criticism spans both parties as midterms approach.
