Trump personally helped orchestrate taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies: CNN
The White House says the spots are public service announcements, while critics say they use taxpayer money to promote Trump before the midterms.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump's taxpayer-funded advertisements aired during NFL broadcasts on Fox, including the Washington Commanders-Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers-Cleveland Browns games, ending with "Paid for by the US Government."
- Trump advisers confirmed the ads were produced in-house by the White House video team, with CNN reporting a source revealed Trump was directly and creatively involved in selecting imagery for the campaign.
- Audio in the advertisements echoes Trump's November 2023 speech in Claremont, New Hampshire, where he declared "This is the final battle" and vowed to cast out communists and Marxists.
- Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin alleged the ads constitute felony criminal theft of government property and a Hatch Act violation, while congressional Democrats on Thursday demanded the White House remove the ad, calling it "the sort of government propaganda one might expect in North Korea."
- The White House defended the spots as public service announcements intended to remind Americans to love their country, though critics argued the imagery is undeniably meant to promote Trump as a warrior battling existential threats.
