随着中期选举临近,白宫正在播出一则新的电视广告,宣传总统唐纳德·特朗普及其施政政策,广告末尾标注“由美国政府付费制作”。
这则时长30秒的不同寻常的广告快速剪辑了特朗普的照片和视频片段,搭配他谴责共产主义和社会主义的音频,屏幕上的文字则吹捧其政府的政绩,例如“重振美国制造业”。广告背景音乐选用了JMSN的歌曲《爱我》。
广告结尾片段中,终极格斗冠军赛(UFC)总裁达纳·怀特称赞特朗普是“我见过的最坚韧、最有韧性的人”。

据广告追踪服务机构AdImpact称,这则广告于周三开始在全美有线电视包括福克斯新闻网以及联网电视平台播出。该机构表示,截至目前,政府为投放这则广告已花费略高于1.4万美元。
与中期选举最后几周涌入电视荧幕的数千万美元广告费用相比,这笔金额并不算多,且广告并未提及任何选举或候选人。但这标志着纳税人资金的非典型使用——此时特朗普正试图将自己置于选举的核心位置,尽管他并未参选。
白宫拒绝详细说明广告的资金来源,但辩称这属于“公共服务公告”的一部分,旨在弘扬民族自豪感。
“这则广告具有教育意义,且毫不掩饰地充满爱国情怀,”白宫发言人在一份声明中表示,“我们应为自己的国家感到骄傲。”
担任广告配乐的创作型歌手JMSN在X平台上暗示,特朗普政府未经其许可使用了《爱我》这首歌。
“我正在联系律师,并在内部处理此事,”JMSN写道。
这则政府资助广告播出之际,特朗普的政治团队已开始在中期选举中动用其巨额竞选资金。根据最近的竞选财务备案文件,支持特朗普的主要超级政治行动委员会“MAGA Inc.”在9月初手握4.16亿美元现金。
这则广告引发了国会部分民主党议员和政府监督组织“共同事业”的质疑,该组织认为这可能违反了禁止使用纳税人资金用于“宣传”的规定。
“其实无需法律专家也能明白,为何总统要在选举临近之际动用纳税人资金为自己的形象做宣传,”“共同事业”负责政策事务的副总裁卡罗尔·埃文斯告诉CNN。

With the midterm elections approaching, the White House is airing a new TV ad promoting President Donald Trump and his policies that says it is “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
The unusual 30-second commercial shows rapidly edited pictures and video of Trump over audio of him denouncing communism and socialism, with text on the screen that touts his administration’s accomplishments, such as “reigniting American manufacturing.” The spot is set to the song “Love Me” by JMSN.
The ad ends with a clip of UFC President Dana White praising Trump as the “toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met.”

The commercial started airing Wednesday across the country on cable TV, including Fox News, as well as connected TV, according to AdImpact. The ad-tracking service said the government has spent just over $14,000 to run the ad so far.
That is a small amount of money compared to the tens of millions of dollars that are flooding the airwaves in the final weeks of the midterms, and the ad doesn’t mention any races or candidates. But it marks an atypical use of taxpayer dollars at a time when Trump has sought to make himself front and center in the elections, even though he is not on the ballot.
The White House declined to elaborate on how the ad is being funded but defended it as part of “public service announcements” to promote national pride.
“The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic,” a White House spokesperson said in a statement. “We should be proud of our country.”
JMSN, the singer-songwriter whose song is the soundtrack of the ad, suggested on X that the administration used “Love Me” without his permission.
“I am looking at lawyers and handling this internally,” JMSN wrote.
The government-funded ads come as Trump’s political operation has started unloading its massive war chest in the midterms. MAGA Inc., the main pro-Trump super PAC, entered September with $416 million cash on hand, according to a recent campaign finance filing.
The ad drew scrutiny from some Democrats in Congress and the government watchdog group Common Cause, which suggested it could violate rules against using taxpayer dollars for “propaganda.”
“I don’t think you have to be a legal scholar and wonder why the president has to use taxpayer funds to promote his image” this close to an election, Carol Evans, the vice president for policy at Common Cause, told CNN.
