A FEDERAL JUDGE SAID STOP AND TRUMP'S GOVERNMENT KEPT THE CAMERAS ROLLING ANYWAY
Sunday. A judge orders the Trump administration to immediately halt taxpayer-funded ads portraying Donald Trump in a favorable light
Immediately. That word means something in a courtroom. Apparently not to this White House
Common Cause goes back to the judge within hours saying the ads are still airing. Still running. Still paid for by you
A DOJ lawyer stands up and admits DHS's own counsel didn't even know the court order existed until the next morning. The federal government was too busy to read a judge's ruling about its own illegal conduct
More than a dozen of these ads exist. Campaign-style. Taxpayer-funded. Donald Trump personally ordered his budget director to make them happen
One ad was copied almost word for word from a 2024 Trump campaign fundraising video. They just cut the part asking you to text in your credit card number
Weeks before the midterms. Paid for with public money. Designed to look exactly like a campaign commercial because it was built from one
When the heat came down Trump said fine, his super PAC will pay for it now. Translation: we got caught, not we were wrong
A DOJ attorney literally apologized to the court on the record while insisting the government was still totally in compliance. Pick one
This is a sitting president using federal agencies to run personal campaign propaganda, getting caught by a federal judge, and still slow-walking the shutdown order like the ruling was optional
Taxpayers funded Trump's midterm ad campaign. A judge said stop. The ads stayed up anyway
This is not a glitch. This is what it looks like when a president stops believing courts can tell him no
