Trump personally helped orchestrate taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies, source says Donald Trump has personally driven the controversial, taxpayer-funded video ads promoting himself and his administration’s policies, including helping select the imagery and videos used, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. Two Trump advisers familiar with the ads said that they were being created in-house by the White House video team — which is part of the communications team, responsible for the administration’s public messaging. Coming just over a month before the November midterms, the ads have generated bipartisan criticism over how the Trump administration is spending taxpayer dollars.

His policies? What are they, besides disappearing people, killing solar and turbine projects, setting back fuel efficiency standards, bombing schoolgirls, ripping away healthcare, depriving children of nutrition, taxing the shit out of everyone that happens to buy anything, raising the prices of everything, raising inflation, insider trading, rampant corruption and self-dealing?

Ah, yes. Instead of having my taxes go towards funding public sidewalks, this guy feels they would be better used on propaganda. Wonderful.

Which is illegal. Are any of you Americans on here going to do anything about it? Thought so.
