"The spot is the latest in a series of pro-Trump ads funded by public money."

"Some ethics experts have argued that the Trump administration is violating federal laws banning the use of taxpayer dollars for propaganda, and the ads have drawn criticism from both parties. The most recent ad, one expert argued, is a more flagrant violation given its prior use in the political arena."


Trump posted the ad at Truth Social, here.

The so-called "experts" are Norm Eisen and that Painter guy at Minnesota Law. Complete partisan hacks! And both are deeply infected with TDS.

If the NYT was a serious newspaper, it would pick better experts for their story. These two are not credible.

Sen. John Kennedy is an impressive legal intellect. Vandy undergrad, UVA Law and Oxford. Just saw him in Weeping Water, NE at a Sen. Ricketts rally. Funny guy!

He makes a fair point. But I can imagine POTUS wants to be a little aggressive and push back against the Fake News. There's no law prohibiting pushing the limits.

Do they identify specifically which federal law this might violate? It can't be a campaign spending related one, as Trump is not running (and can not run) for a third term.

How dare anyone speak out against the Crime Syndicate that is the Democrat Party.

The Iran "war" really isn't much of a war. It's a project that if successful - could lead to economic prosperity and freedom.
Not just for the US, but for the ME and beyond.
Leftists HATE that.

The Democrats use donations and tax dollars to fund their fraud.
They can all ES&D.

Neo-Nazi grifting Leftism and Radical Islam = we get why they are perfect for each other.

“Some ethics experts…”

Yeah? Well they can go put their opinions where the Sun does not gain purchase.

I didn’t hear Trump promoting a candidate. Unless Trump is running again? Is Trump running again?

The best part about being an "ethics expert" is that you don't need any. It's the perfect grift.

Didn’t he fire Kristi Noem for spending $20 mill on an ad campaign featuring herself?

I saw the add Saturday during the Ohio State game with no preconceptions. I thought what the hell is this? Forgetting any legal issues, if I were a Democrat, I would run that ad over and over again, freezing on the part where it was paid by the taxpayers. It is nothing but cringe for swing voters and I expect will be totally counterproductive at the polls.

“Expel the warmongers”? Does that include himself? Yay!

He should avoid these kinds of kerfuffles. It’s distracting from the message. There’s enough cash in R accounts to run these to remind voters of his agenda.

"He should avoid these kinds of kerfuffles" Amen, Breezy!

Anyone can be an "expert." Much ado about zilch.

So is it “new” or did it just “return” or do the authors of this hit piece ever decide?
