White House airs more taxpayer-funded ads promoting Trump

The federal government spent at least $1.7 million on three TV ads featuring President Donald Trump, according to AdImpact. While critics argue these advertisements may violate federal propaganda law, the White House defends them as public service announcements, citing previous Medicare and Affordable Care Act examples. One recent ad depicts Trump discussing the final battle against the deep state. NPR and the Cook Political Report have further analyzed this use of taxpayer funds and current voter sentiment.
