一位知情人士告诉CNN，唐纳德·特朗普总统亲自主导了这些备受争议的、用纳税人资金制作的宣传视频广告，为自身及其政府政策造势，其中还参与挑选了广告使用的图片和视频素材。
两位了解这批广告的特朗普顾问表示，广告由白宫视频团队在白宫内部制作——该团队隶属于负责政府公共宣传事务的通讯团队。
这批广告投放时间距11月中期选举仅一个多月，因特朗普政府如何使用纳税人资金一事引发了两党批评。
广告反响
“信息本身很棒，我认同这个信息，但不该用纳税人的钱来买单，”参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周一在国会山对记者表示。
得克萨斯州共和党参议员约翰·科宁也附和了这一观点：“这根本没有争议。”
白宫为这批广告进行了广泛辩护，称其类似于往届政府发布的关于医疗保险、奥巴马医改和新冠疫苗接种的公共服务公告。官员们坚称这些广告“绝对不属于竞选广告”。
“这些公共服务公告旨在提醒美国人热爱祖国，理解祖国在国内、边境以及海外值得守护的意义，”一位白宫发言人周一表示。
但广告画面无疑是为了宣传特朗普，将他塑造成对抗生存威胁的斗士。而最新一则广告几乎与特朗普2024年1月在其第三轮总统竞选期间在Truth Social上发布的视频一模一样。
这则最新广告中，特朗普沿着走廊行走，背景音频是他的发言：“这是最后一战。”
“我们将驱逐共产党人、马克思主义者和法西斯主义者。我们将摆脱仇视我们国家的病态政治阶层。我们将击溃假新闻媒体，最终将美国从这些恶棍手中解放出来，”广告中的特朗普说道，这番话呼应了他2023年退伍军人节演讲中的内容。
Truth Social上的原版视频多了6秒内容，包含特朗普的竞选标志和一个短信投票号码。新版本广告结尾的屏幕上会显示“由美国政府付费制作”的字样。
多名特朗普竞选团队成员告诉CNN，他们直到广告播出才知晓这批广告的存在。但另一位消息人士反驳了“有人被蒙在鼓里”的说法，指出总统曾向多名助手和顾问提及这批广告，并坚称制作并非秘密进行。
最新一则广告周日至少在两场NFL比赛中播出，分别是福克斯电视台转播的华盛顿指挥官队对阵西雅图海鹰队的比赛，以及卡罗莱纳黑豹队对阵克利夫兰布朗队的比赛。这是近期媒体追踪机构AdImpact捕捉到的第三则政府出资的宣传信息。
周三开始播出的一则广告快速剪辑了特朗普的照片和视频，背景音频是他抨击共产主义和社会主义的讲话。屏幕上的文字宣传了他政府的政绩，包括“重振美国制造业”。
“这则广告具有教育意义，且毫无歉意地充满爱国情怀，”一位白宫发言人在一份声明中说道。“我们应为自己的国家感到自豪。”
第二则广告展示了特朗普在拉什莫尔山的画面，背景音是他的发言：“从未有任何一个国家取得过如此辉煌的胜利。”
众议院司法委员会 ranking 成员、民主党众议员杰米·拉斯金在X平台上发帖称，这些广告“可能构成刑事重罪，即出于政治竞选目的窃取并挪用政府财产”。
拉斯金还表示，如果民主党在11月赢得众议院多数席位，将获得国会传票权，他指出不仅特朗普可能面临相关调查，“任何参与制作广告或使用政府资源制作广告的政府雇员都违反了《哈奇法》”。
“这愚蠢至极，愚蠢到难以置信，”一位前特朗普竞选官员告诉CNN。“这些人都会被传唤。情况会很糟。”

Trump personally helped orchestrate taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies, source says
2026-09-28T23:07:53.301Z / CNN
President 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.
Ad Feedback
“It’s a great message. I like the message, but it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters in the Capitol on Monday.
GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas echoed that sentiment: “It’s not even a close question.”
The White House has broadly defended the ads, saying they are akin to public service announcements past administrations have put out about Medicare, Obamacare and Covid-19 vaccinations. Officials have insisted they “are very clearly not campaign ads.”
“These public service announcements are about reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad,” a White House spokesperson said Monday.
But the imagery is undeniably meant to promote Trump, casting him as a warrior battling against existential threats. And the latest one appears nearly identical to a video Trump posted on Truth Social in January 2024, during his third presidential campaign.
That most recent ad shows Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying “this is the final battle.”
“We will cast out the communists, Marxists and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in the ad, echoing comments he made during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.
The version on Truth Social has an additional six seconds that includes Trump’s campaign logo and a number to text. The text “Paid for by the US Government” is seen across the screen at the end of the new version of the ad.
Multiple members of Trump’s political operation said they were unaware that these ads were coming until they aired. But another source pushed back on the notion that anyone was kept in the dark — noting that the president had spoken about the ads to multiple aides and advisers and insisting that they were not being made in secret.
The latest ad — which aired during at least two NFL games on Sunday, during Fox’s broadcasts of the Washington Commanders-Seattle Seahawks matchup as well as the Carolina Panthers-Cleveland Browns game — is the third government-funded message in recent days to be captured by the media tracker AdImpact.
An ad that began airing Wednesday featured rapidly edited pictures and video of Trump over audio of him denouncing communism and socialism. Text on the screen touted his administration’s accomplishments, including “reigniting American manufacturing.”
“The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic,” a White House spokesperson said in a statement. “We should be proud of our country.”
A second ad features video of Trump at Mount Rushmore as his voice is heard saying, “Never before has any nation celebrated so magnificent a triumph as this one.”
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a post on X that the ads “may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes.”
And Raskin, who will gain congressional subpoena power in November if Democrats win the House, said it is not just Trump who might face inquiries over the messages. He said the creation of the ads was a “Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it.”
“This is dumb, dumb, dumb beyond belief,” one former Trump campaign official told CNN. “These guys are all gonna get subpoenaed. It’s gonna be bad.”
