特朗普政府已花费1900万美元纳税人资金用于这场备受争议的广告宣传活动，以推广特朗普总统及其政策，官员表示该宣传活动将于周日结束。
美国海关与边境保护局此前曾向CNN透露，政府为这些被归类为“公共服务公告”的广告拨款2000万美元。国土安全部高级官员霍莉·梅林杰在围绕这些广告提起的一场诉讼的宣誓声明中表示，一家名为LMD Agency Inc.的广告公司“根据本命令的条款购买媒体广告时段，截至2026年10月11日周日，花费约1900万美元”。
她补充道，包括海关与边境保护局在内的国土安全部已指示LMD“在10月11日后不再进行任何额外的媒体广告购买”。梅林杰指出，“没有计划”再购买任何广告。
两党议员都对该广告 campaign 表示担忧，上周特朗普宣布，他将用为其超级政治行动委员会MAGA Inc.筹集的资金来支付这些广告费用。
特朗普政府制作了至少13条竞选风格的广告，其中一些已在哥伦比亚广播公司、CNN、MS NOW、福克斯新闻和福克斯电视台等电视网络播出。包括无党派非营利组织共同事业在内的监督团体表示，这些广告明显违反了拨款法，该法律限制使用联邦资金进行宣传或党派交流。共同事业和美国民主党全国委员会分别就这些广告起诉了特朗普政府。
在对共同事业提起的诉讼的回应中，美国司法部周六晚在一份文件中表示，应驳回叫停这笔开支的请求，理由是这些广告“将不会在明天之后继续播出”。
CNN此前曾报道，据一位知情人士透露，特朗普亲自参与了这些视频广告的制作，包括协助挑选所用的图像和视频。两位熟悉这些广告的特朗普顾问表示，这些广告是由白宫视频团队内部制作的——该团队隶属于负责政府公共宣传工作的通讯团队——不过其中至少一条广告是由一个支持特朗普的模因小组制作的。

梅林杰在法庭文件中将这些广告描述为“描绘美国总统及其政府在保护美国边境方面的各项努力，包括通过打击毒品贩运加强边境安全”，但CNN获得的许多广告的实际内容并非如此。
尽管美国司法部承认这些广告“攻击了一系列笼统的‘反派’”，但它强调这些广告“并未针对任何特定种族、选举候选人或政党”。
白宫发言人周一表示，特朗普不打算为已经用于购买广告的资金偿还政府，梅林杰和其他官员也未透露任何退款计划。
美国白宫管理和预算办公室上个月从海关与边境保护局拨款2000万美元纳税人资金，用于该办公室所称的“OBBBA纪念活动”。（OBBBA是《一项宏伟法案》的缩写，特朗普于2025年将其签署为法律。）
梅林杰在其声明中强调，这笔资金“并未用于制作任何视频或媒体内容”，“仅用于播放已预先制作好的媒体内容”。
国土安全部部长马克韦·马伦周日在接受哥伦比亚广播公司《面向全国》节目采访时被问及纳税人资金是否会被退还。
“只要我们能制作公共服务公告并为美国感到自豪，我完全支持，”马伦说道，他抨击了对特朗普政府的负面报道，并指出政府在保障边境安全和降低芬太尼相关死亡人数方面取得了成功。
“我们应该为美国国内正在发生的事情感到自豪，”他补充道，“我赞扬特朗普总统给了我们为美国感到自豪的机会。”
Trump’s multimillion-dollar taxpayer-funded ad campaign ends Sunday, officials say

The Trump administration has spent $19 million in taxpayer money on the controversial ad campaign to promote President Donald Trump and his policies, a push that officials say will end on Sunday.
The administration allocated $20 million for the ads, which were classified as “public service announcements,” from US Customs and Border Protection, CNN previously reported. An advertising company, LMD Agency Inc., “purchased media buys under the terms of the Order through Sunday, October 11, 2026, at an approximate cost of $19,000,000,” senior Department of Homeland Security official Holly Mehringer said in a sworn declaration in a court case surrounding the ads.
The Department of Homeland Security, which includes CBP, directed LMD “to not make any additional media buys past October 11,” she added. Mehringer noted there are “no plans” to purchase any additional ads.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressed concerns about the campaign, and last week, Trump announced that he will pay for the ads with funds raised for his super PAC, MAGA Inc.
The Trump administration created at least 13 campaign-style ads, some of which have aired on TV networks including CBS, CNN, MS NOW, Fox News and Fox. Watchdog groups, including the nonprofit, nonpartisan Common Cause, have said the ads mark a clear violation of appropriations law restricting the use of federal funding for propaganda or partisan communications. Common Cause and the Democratic National Committee separately sued the Trump administration over the ads.
In a response to the Common Cause lawsuit, the Justice Department said in a filing late Saturday that an effort to halt the spending should be denied because the ads “will not continue past tomorrow.”
CNN previously reported that Trump has personally driven the video ads, including helping select the imagery and videos used, according to a source familiar with the matter. Two Trump advisers familiar with the ads said 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 — though at least one of them was produced by a pro-Trump meme group.

Mehringer, in the court filing, described the ads as “depicting the President of the United States and his administration’s various efforts related to protecting America’s borders, including enhancements of border security by combating drug trafficking,” though that is not the exact substance of many of the ads obtained by CNN.
And while the Justice Department conceded the ads “(attack) a generic list of ‘villains,’” it emphasized they did not “address any specific race, electoral candidate, or party.”
A White House spokesperson said Monday that Trump did not plan to reimburse the government for the money already spent on the ad buys, and Mehringer and other officials did not indicate any plans for a refund.
The White House Office of Management and Budget last month allocated $20 million in taxpayer money from CBP for what it called “OBBBA commemorative events.” (OBBBA is an abbreviation for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Trump signed into law in 2025.)
Mehringer emphasized in her declaration that that money “did not fund the creation or production of any videos or media” and “only funded the airing of preexisting media.”
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin was pressed during an appearance Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on whether the taxpayer dollars would be refunded.
“Anytime we can do a public service announcement and brag about America, I’m all about it,” Mullin said, taking aim at negative coverage of the Trump administration as he pointed to success in securing the border and lowering fentanyl-related deaths.
“We should be bragging about what’s happening inside America,” he said, adding, “I commend the opportunity of President Trump to give us the opportunity to brag about America.”
