If a candidate wants a TV ad, the campaign pays for it. Trump’s team is running three ads during football games, at least $1.5 million, and one was lifted from his campaign ad. Call your senator and ask one question: where did the money come from? #PayToPlayPresident www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

Trump waited until days before the fiscal year ended to cancel $810 million Congress approved, a pocket rescission the GAO has already said the law doesn’t allow. The same week, taxpayers were paying for Trump TV ads. Funny how his priorities get the money. #PayToPlayPresident

The Constitution says Congress, not the president, decides how your tax money is spent. Trump canceled $810 million Congress approved by running out the clock and the independent spending watchdog calls it illegal. Trump treats your money like it’s his. #PayToPlayPresident

Remember when Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading? I do. Trump and his minions are using knowledge of decisions being made to buy low and sell high, and unload stocks before we find out what's coming. This damages your retirement. #PayToPlayPresident www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Asked if he’ll pardon his top aides, Trump said: “Based on Biden I can do what I want.” We know in his world loyalty earns a pardon with the Oval Office running a protection racket. Everything with him is pay to play. #PayToPlayPresident

Voters shouldn’t have to walk past armed ICE agents to cast a ballot. Trump’s DHS says it can put them at polling places despite a 150-year-old law meant to stop this kind of intimidation. Elections aren’t pay-to-play, and they aren’t armed checkpoints. #PayToPlayPresident

A nursing home boss stole his workers' Social Security and Medicare money. He got 18 months and $4.4M restitution. A Mar-a-Lago dinner erased it. If pardons go to whoever can afford a plate, workers get robbed twice: once by him, once by the system. #TrumpsCorruptCongress

28,700 trades for Trump. 19,400 for the whole House. 2,900 for the Senate. Per Bloomberg, one man out-traded all 535 lawmakers, and he's the one who sets tariffs. Somebody's on the other side of every bet he makes, and it's your 401(k). #TrumpsCorruptCongress
