Taxpayer-Funded Pro-Trump Ad Airs on Fox With U.S. Government Disclaimer

Win McNamee/Getty Images A taxpayer-funded ad telling Americans to “love” Donald Trump has aired on Fox News.

The fawning ad, which has been accused of amounting to “propaganda,” featured the president expressing anti-communist sentiments while presenting his policies as tax cuts and defending “law and order” policing.

The 30-second video, shown during Jesse Watters Primetime on Wednesday evening, also featured audio from UFC boss Dana White’s speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention, in which he described Trump as the “toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met and nothing is gonna stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves.” Throughout the ad, the words “love me” from JMSN’s song “Love Me” are repeated over MAGA-esque patriotic imagery of flags and Trump.

Toward the end of the ad, a disclaimer appears stating that it was “paid for by the U.S. government.” The disclaimer essentially means that the American public paid for a partisan political ad that does little more than hype up the president, just weeks out from the crucial Nov.

“Your tax dollars paid for this weird fascist propaganda,” the MeidasTouch account posted on X.

Democratic political commentator Isaiah Martin wrote: “Your tax dollars are paying for this propaganda while Trump says we have no money for health care.” Sara McGee, a Democrat running for Texas House District 132, added: “This is fascist propaganda, period.

“I don’t know what the hell is going through the minds of the members of our other two branches of government, but they are actively betraying our country.” The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.
