美国国土安全部被曝挪用2000万美元纳税人资金投放支持特朗普的电视广告234。这些广告内容源自特朗普2024年竞选活动,但现以政府名义发布2。白宫声称这些广告是公共服务公告1,然而消费者权益组织公民联盟已向美国联邦通信委员会和联邦贸易委员会提起投诉,指控这些广告违反了禁止使用纳税人资金进行宣传的法律1。公民联盟还声称广告涉嫌违反限制联邦政府员工政治活动的法律1。
广告标题为《最后的战役》,采用与2024年竞选广告相同的视频和音频1。在广告中,特朗普声称"这是最后的战役,我们将摧毁深层政府,驱逐好战分子"1。这一做法引发了共和党参议员的反对和民主党的批评3。参议员卢米斯阻止了一份谴责这些广告的决议案4。据报道,这类广告预计即将大幅增加3。
The Trump administration has deployed $20 million in taxpayer funds through the Department of Homeland Security to broadcast television advertisements supporting the president and his policies, sparking accusations of legal violations and political misuse of federal resources 234. The consumer advocacy group Citizens United has filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission, alleging that the advertisements violate laws prohibiting the use of public money for propaganda and restricting political activity by federal employees 1. The White House has characterized the advertisements as public service announcements, though critics contend that their content directly mirrors material from Trump's 2024 campaign 12.
The most recent advertisement, titled "The Final Battle," features video and audio elements identical to those used in Trump's campaign promotions and carries the label "Paid for by the U.S. Government" 1. In the spot, Trump states, "This is the final battle, and we will crush the deep state and drive out the warmongers" 1. Trump personally coordinated the advertising campaign 4, and the advertisements are expected to expand significantly 3. The controversy has drawn pushback from Republican senators and criticism from Democrats who argue the administration has misappropriated federal funds for political purposes 3. Senator Lummis blocked a Senate resolution condemning what opponents have called the government-financed political messaging 4.
