Aaron Blake: “When the Trump administration began running taxpayer-funded ‘public service announcements’ that looked suspiciously like campaign ads for President Donald Trump last week, the White House gamely maintained they were ‘very clearly not campaign ads.'”“Then it gave up all pretense.”“As of Sunday, the administration was running a new ad that was basically an actual campaign ad, repurposed from Trump’s 2024 bid. It effectively just slapped on a ‘Paid for by the U.S. Government’ disclaimer and called it a day.”
