艺术家JMSN的律师已向白宫办公厅主任苏西·瓦尔斯发出停止侵权函，要求特朗普政府停止使用其歌曲《Love Me》。该歌曲曾被用于特朗普总统的一则纳税人资助广告中。
JMSN的真实姓名是克里斯蒂安·贝里沙伊，其律师表示，使用该歌曲违反了联邦版权法。在一份声明中，律师们要求白宫从所有预定播出计划中撤下该广告，删除所有带有该歌曲的在线广告副本，并“提供每一次播出和在线发布的书面记录，包括日期、时间、播出网络或电视台、市场、节目以及媒体总支出”。
JMSN的代理律师包括曾在前总统巴拉克·奥巴马任期内担任白宫道德监察官的诺曼·艾森。艾森所在的“民主捍卫者行动”组织以及巴拉德·斯帕尔律师事务所也被列为贝里沙伊的代理方。停止侵权函的消息最早由记者亚沙尔·阿里报道。
白宫上周启动了一项广告宣传活动，在哥伦比亚广播公司新闻及其他电视台播出。据广告追踪公司AdImpact的数据，该活动至少在广播、有线电视和流媒体平台投放了三则不同的广告，总支出接近250万美元。由于白宫将这些广告归类为“公益广告”，具体总支出金额尚未公开。
第一则广告以《Love Me》作为背景音乐，特朗普先生说道：“我们将在美国击败共产主义、社会主义和马克思主义”，同时快速切换总统第二任期的画面，并配有屏幕文字。
这些画面包括总统参加集会、赦免火鸡、在布置了圣诞装饰的白宫里、与国际足联奖杯合影、被旗帜环绕、与军方领导人并肩、在泰姬陵外等场景。
该广告反复在屏幕上显示“美国永远不会成为共产主义国家”，同时还宣传了其政府的减税政策，以及其他支持国内制造业和执法部门的泛泛表态。广告结尾由终极格斗锦标赛首席执行官达纳·怀特的声音说道：“他是我见过最坚韧、最有韧性的人，没有什么能阻止他为深爱的国家如此奋力拼搏。”
JMSN在社交媒体上表示，他从未授权白宫使用《Love Me》。
“任何了解我职业生涯、知道我的立场和事业根基的人都应该明白，我绝不会授权将我的音乐用于任何政治议程或竞选活动，”他在X平台上写道。
一名白宫官员此前告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，这些电视广告是公益广告，“显然并非政治广告”。该官员指出，特朗普先生并未参加今年的中期选举竞选，且广告中没有呼吁行动的内容。
白宫发言人表示，这些广告“旨在提醒美国人热爱自己的国家，理解是什么让国家值得在国内、边境和海外加以捍卫”。
白宫尚未就停止侵权函置评。
纳税人资金还被用于投放一则30秒的电视广告，该广告与特朗普先生2024年总统竞选期间分享的一则广告内容相似。白宫继续在11月中期选举前投放以总统为核心的所谓“公益广告”。
最新一则名为“最终战役”的广告于上周首播，画面中特朗普先生沿着走廊行走，他的声音提到要摧毁“深层政府”、将“战争贩子驱逐出我们的政府”、击败“假新闻媒体”，并“一劳永逸地将美国从这些恶棍手中解放出来”。
这则广告直接照搬了特朗普先生2024年1月在Truth Social平台发布的视频，唯一的改动是将结尾的特朗普2024年竞选标志替换为“由美国政府付费”的文字。
另一则名为“庆祝不朽精神”的广告，则使用了特朗普先生2026年7月3日在拉什莫尔山的演讲音频。
贝里沙伊发出停止侵权函之前，左翼监督组织“民主前进”已向财政部和管理与预算办公室提交了公开记录申请，要求获取有关这些电视广告的更多内部信息。财政部和管理与预算办公室未就这些记录申请置评。
一些共和党人已经开始批评这些广告。共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪周日在《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目中表示：“我认为任何公职人员，包括特朗普总统、克里斯蒂·诺姆和约翰·肯尼迪，都不应该动用公款为自己投放私人广告。”
未寻求连任的共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯周一表示，这是“不合适的公益广告”，并将其与匈牙利独裁者维克托·欧尔班相提并论。
“你知道欧尔班的，”蒂利斯说，“没错，他用纳税人的资金来传播自己的政治观点，结果也在选举中输得一败涂地。”
Artist whose song is featured in Trump taxpayer-funded ad sends cease-and-desist order to White House

Attorneys for artist JMSN, whose song “Love Me” was used in one of President Trump’s taxpayer-funded ads, have sent a cease-and-desist letter to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles demanding that the Trump administration stop using his song.
Attorneys for JMSN, real name Christian Berishaj, say the use of the song is a violation of federal copyright law. In an announcement, the attorneys demanded the White House withdraw the advertisement from all scheduled airings, remove all online copies of the ad with the song, and “provide a written accounting of every airing and online posting, including the date, time, network or station, market, program, and total media spend.”
JMSN is represented by former White House ethics czar Norman Eisen, who served during former President Barack Obama’s tenure. Eisen’s group Democracy Defenders Action and Ballard Spahr LLP are also listed as Berishaj’s representation. The news of the cease-and-desist letter was first reported by journalist Yashar Ali.
The White House rolled out an advertising campaign last week that aired on CBS News and the other networks. At least three distinct ads have been run on broadcast, cable and streaming platforms, with a combined spend of almost $2.5 million according to advertisement tracking firm AdImpact. Because the White House has classified them as “Public Service Announcements,” the total exact amount spent is not known.
The first ad features “Love Me” playing as Mr. Trump says, “We will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America” as flash-cut shots from the president’s second administration appear with text on screen.
The photos show the president at rallies, pardoning turkeys, at the White House with Christmas decorations, standing with the FIFA trophy, surrounded by flags, flanked by military leaders, outside the Taj Mahal and more.
The ad repeatedly flashes “America will never be a communist country” on screen and also touts his administration’s tax cuts and other broad expressions of support for domestic manufacturing and law enforcement in text on screen. It ends with the voice of Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, declaring, “He’s the toughest, most resilient (man) I’ve ever met and nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves.”
JMSN said on social media that he had never granted the White House a license for the use of “Love Me.”
“To anybody who has followed my career and knows what I stand for and built my career on, it should go without saying that I would never authorize my music to be used for ANY political agenda or campaign,” he posted on X.
A White House official previously told CBS News that the TV spots are public service announcements and are “clearly not political.” The official noted that Mr. Trump is not on the ballot for midterm elections this year, and that the ads don’t have a call to action.
A White House spokesperson said the ads “are about reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad.”
The White House has not yet responded to an inquiry about the cease-and-desist letter.
Taxpayer funds are also being used to air a 30-second TV ad that mirrors one shared by Mr. Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign, as the White House continues to air what they call “public service announcements” centered around the president ahead of November’s midterms.
The latest spot, titled the “Final Battle,” debuted over the weekend and featured Mr. Trump walking down a hallway as his voice talks about demolishing the “deep state,” expelling “warmongers from our government,” routing “the fake news media,” and liberating “America from these villains once and for all.”
It’s a direct copy of a video posted on Truth Social by Mr. Trump in January 2024, with the only change coming at the end with the replacement of Mr. Trump’s 2024 campaign logo with the text “Paid for by the U.S. Government” instead.
Another ad, titled “Celebrating The Enduring Spirit,” features audio of Mr. Trump’s July 3, 2026, remarks at Mount Rushmore.
The cease-and-desist sent by Berishaj follows public records requests sent by Democracy Forward, a left-leaning watchdog group, to the Treasury Department and the Office of Management and Budget seeking more internal information about the TV spots. Treasury and OMB did not respond to requests for comment about these record requests.
Some Republicans have started to criticize the ads, with GOP Sen. John Kennedy saying Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” that “I don’t think any public official, including President Trump or Kristi Noem or John Kennedy, should spend public money on private ads for themselves.”
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who is not running for reelection, said Monday that it was “not appropriate PSA” and compared it to Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban.
“You know, Orban,” Tillis said. “Yeah, he used taxpayer dollars to communicate his political view, and he lost his ass in an election too.”
