‘God made Trump’ ad and at least 12 others are part of controversial taxpayer-funded ad campaign
The Trump administration created at least 13 television advertisements promoting the president and his policies, funded with taxpayer money and framed as public service announcements. Critics say this violates federal law against using government funds for campaign purposes, and regulators have been urged to stop the broadcasts. The White House has defended the spending, saying it is for the country. The matter remains unresolved.
