Posted 23 hrs ago by @feministnews.bsky.social "The ad says "He loves." It doesn't say what. That’s deliberate. Starting this past Wednesday, spots featuring the president began running on Fox News and Newsmax, tagged "Paid for by the U.S. Government." Those spaces were chosen to ensure Trump..."
This wee, the White House spent $443,000 of taxpayer money running pro-trump ads on Fox News and Newsmax ahead of the midterms.

The white house calls them public service announcements.

Trump is the further thing from a public servant.

"He loves"? He loves himself. And only himself.
