Every time Trump rejiggers his political ad scheme, he adds a new violation! First he broke the law, including illegally using a song written by one of our @democracydefendersaction.org clients Now he says his super PAC will pay for the ads--but he can't legally do that! More @ms.now👇

I’m so f*cking sick of the corruption in this administration. Trump’s ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, pressured a MAGA donor to pay off $100,000 in credit card debt while offering access to Trump officials. And she wanted it done without a paper trail. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption
