U.S. government runs TV ad with Trump's midterm messaging

It shows Trump, American flags and military aircraft while JMSN’s “Love Me” plays in the background. The ad promotes Trump’s tax cuts, manufacturing policies and policing.

Yes, it’s propaganda, and good for WaPo putting the word in the headline, which almost nobody else did. They should remove the damn quote marks though. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

"It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns." Jaime Raskin abcnews.com/Politics/tru...

@timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social react to a taxpayer-funded TV ad praising Trump, complete with “Love Me” playing over footage of the president. “This is just pure cult propaganda paid for by us.”

Some controversies are complex, but this one’s easy: It is illegal for the federal government to use public funds for “propaganda purposes.” Worried about the midterms, Team Trump simply decided not to care. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

OK, fellow copyright lawyers... If it's a campaign ad Trump wouldn't have sovereign immunity for the infringement. Is he trying to make it a "US government" to get around his own potential liability? (Along with the self-enrichment?) Really curious to see how he's named in the lawsuit...

"A White House official disputed that the ad was political, and referred to it as a 'public service announcement.'” www.wsj.com/politics/u-s...

When anything says "Paid for by the US government" it means paid for by We The People. Trump violated the hatch act for a "LOVE ME" pure propaganda filled weird campaign ad. Enough is enough! VOTE VOTE VOTE #BlueWaveIn40Days #ProudBlue #GTS #Blues www.commondreams.org/news/trump-g...

2. In the past, when musicians have complained about Trump using their music on social media, they usually can't do much because TikTok and Instagram already have licensing agreements with the rights holders. But in this case, the ad aired on Fox News.

Your taxpayer dollars are being used by the Trump Administration to create midterm advertising that supports Donald Trump’s message. And yes, you read that correctly. apnews.com/article/paid...

While thousands of kids are suffering in ICE prisons like Dilley, and migrant children are about to be shipped to a new ICE facility in Louisiana, the Trump regime used kids entertainment to promote ICE. Some companies clapped back. Some clammed up. www.thequeenzone.com/trump-regime...

It looks like a typical Republican campaign advertisement. As images of President Donald Trump flash across the screen, the spot says, “America will never be a communist country,” and boasts of the “largest tax cuts in history.” The text at the bottom says “paid for by the U.S. government.”

Multiple reasons why the subliminal "Love Me" ad is illegal and may invoke legal actions against Trump and the White House.

For the libs calling what Trump has done here communism, the ad is explicitly anti-communist. Can't you see what "Drumf" and the ruling class fears most? Why are you all still like this?
