The White House confirms federal funding for an ad touting Trump’s record and resilience as a choir sings “Love me.” It calls the spot a public service announcement; Democrats say it illegally uses taxpayer money and demand its removal before the Nov. 3 midterms.
Trump speaks for about 10 seconds, saying the U.S. will “defeat communism, socialism and Marxism”; the ad then flashes claims about tax cuts, manufacturing and law and order. UFC CEO Dana White’s voice calls Trump the toughest, most resilient person he has met.
The ad aired less than six weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm election. The White House says it is not political because it contains no call to action and Trump is not on the ballot. A Sept. 24 letter from Sen. Patty Murray and other Democrats cites a 2026 appropriations-law restriction on domestic publicity or propaganda not authorized by Congress. Officials did not disclose the cost or whether the ad is airing nationally or in selected states.
