Trump reverses course on publicly funded TV political ads
Trump said he will cover the ads himself or through MAGA, Inc. after criticism over the use of taxpayer money.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced he will personally fund controversial Patriotic Ads through money raised by his MAGA PAC, reversing his earlier reliance on taxpayer dollars for the campaign-style spots.
- Ethics experts and lawmakers from both parties criticized the ads, questioning whether using public funds for spots airing before November's congressional elections violated restrictions on government propaganda and political activity.
- One ad features Trump declaring "America will never be a communist country" while a chorus repeats "love me." Another combines Mount Rushmore footage with praise for a "golden age of America."
- Lawmakers argue the spots may violate longstanding restrictions on government propaganda, questioning whether taxpayer funds were improperly used for political promotion ahead of the midterms.
- Trump defended the ads on Truth Social as "a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A.," insisting the funding shift addresses mounting backlash from both parties over taxpayer-financed political messaging.
