Anti-Communist advertising trump paid for by means of the US border service // The White house paid for advertising in support of Donald trump from the budget of border guards

The White House used funds from the US Customs and Border Protection budget to pay for advertising in support of Donald Trump. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and NBC News.

We are talking about several videos that appeared on television last week. In the first of them, Mr. Trump expresses his intention to defeat communist ideology in the United States. The song is called “Love Me” by JMSN. Earlier this week, the musician’s lawyers sent a letter to the White House demanding that he stop using the song.

In the second video, the president's voiceover urges people to join him in his "decisive battle" to "destroy the deep state" and "expel warmongers from our government." In a third video, the president calls the United States the greatest country in the world. The videos contain a disclaimer: "paid by the U.S. government.".

Critics argue that these videos may violate laws that bar executive officials from using office to advance political goals. According to the WSJ, Mr. Trump personally sought to conduct this advertising campaign and participated in the creation of commercials.

The White House called the video a social ad that “is designed to remind Americans of their love for their country” and “is educational and openly patriotic in nature.” “We should be proud of our country,” the US administration said.

The advertisement was shown more than 90 times on federal TV channels and more than 2 thousand times on regional TV channels. Analysts estimate that the government’s costs amounted to more than $1.7 million. Democratic Senators Patty Murray and Chris Murphy estimate that about $20 million has been allocated for advertising.

Representatives of the Senate from the Democratic Party have already declared illegal misuse of budget funds and demanded to remove videos from the air.
