Donald Trump has personally driven the controversial, taxpayer-funded video ads promoting himself and his administration’s policies, including helping select the imagery and videos used, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

Two Trump advisers familiar with the ads said that 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.

Coming just over a month before the November midterms, the ads have generated bipartisan criticism over how the Trump administration is spending taxpayer dollars.

      @Hegar agreed. but they have been doing it over 30 yrs 💙

      oh, & CNN, like most companies, are appeasers. they’re not going to fight fascism - they’re going to profit from reporting on it from “both sides”

      @FreshParsnip

      i think you may be correct about HIGNFY US, bc the Ellisons are straight up pro-fascist
