AdImpact says three taxpayer-funded ads promoting President Donald Trump are nearing a cost of at least $1.5 million. The White House defends them as public service announcements. But the Republican administration’s ads attracted mounting criticism on Monday, including from members of Trump’s own party. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that taxpayer dollars should pay for the ads. Some legal experts say the ads run afoul of federal laws against using public funds for propaganda. The ads airing nationwide feature Trump discussing topics like communism and globalism. The White House has not responded to inquiries about the funding source.
