CNN: ‘God made Trump’ ad and at least 12 others are part of controversial taxpayer-funded ad campaign
AdImpact estimates $2.5 million has been spent on at least 13 spots, as critics say the campaign uses government funds for political messaging.
- The Trump administration created at least 13 campaign-style ads as part of a controversial taxpayer-funded effort to promote President Donald Trump and his policies.
- Customs and Border Protection funds the effort with $2.5 million already spent and $20 million allocated, though internal officials described the initiative as 'obviously illegal.'
- Specific spots include the 'God Made Trump' video, which aired during the Dallas midterm convention, and ads featuring perceived enemies like former Presidents Barack Obama and President Joe Biden.
- Lawmakers and advisers have criticized the campaign, though the White House defends the spots as public service announcements despite the controversy.
- While Congress has not yet acted to block the spending, Democrats gaining control of the House next year could provide subpoena power to investigate the campaign.
