‘God Made Trump’: 13 taxpayer-funded ads revealed
Ahead of the mid-term elections in the United States, the Trump administration produced a total of 13 campaign-style advertisements, under a multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded initiative, as reported by CNN. Among the ads yet to be aired are those highlighting the US military and operations in Iran and Venezuela, one labeled "God Made Trump" and another summarizing the UFC fight he hosted at the White House.
The Department of Homeland Security allocated $20 million to fund the campaign-style ads glorifying President Donald Trump. This has sparked criticism from both Democrats, who have raised concerns over the excessive taxpayer expenditure on these advertisements. The White House defended the campaign as public service announcements, according to a CNN report.
CNN obtained clips of 12 ads, ranging from 15 seconds to three minutes long. Two of these have already been broadcast. These ads were produced by LMD, the agency contracted by the government for the ad buys, and each ends with "Paid for by the US Government."
