Maybe Susan Collins will punish Trump by making him WRITE AN ESSAY
So he continually does illegal things and nothing happens.....got it
This is against the law and they all know it, But that's ok we will just add it to the trump deficit he will owe us When we have him impeached convicted and removed <br>Freeze his accounts asap When we win
The villain himself!!!
If a Democrat did this, they'd rightfully be furious.
😮 Spending taxpayers dollars on election commercials while all US framers are in a recession and driving up food prices to the day-to-day living costs.<br><br>Dictatorship!
So, like do something about it. Else it's just words.
Ryan Goodman with the excellent legal analysis ⚖⚖⚖
HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAM<br> HE'S 80 YEARS OLD. DEMENTED, AND EXTREMELY FULL OF HIMSELF. AND NOTHING HE DOES IS LEGAL.
Trump probably charged the government for making the ad although it is an old ad he used in his 2024 election.
Trump doesn’t care about laws, he doesn’t have to follow laws and usually doesn’t get penalized for breaking laws, he makes his own laws and he thinks he’s always right.
Not only did taxpayers pay to make the commercials but made a 2nd commercial that aired during Sunday's NFL game (during prime time) that cost over $1 million dollars for a (1) 30 second spot. Everytime he airs it it costs the American taxpayer. Trump has millions in unspent tax exempt PAC money he hasn't given to Republican candidates yet he spends OUR money to promote HIMSELF. Give us our money back and get into your own PIGGY BANK the biggest oinker TRUMP
Get this lunatic out of our White House!
Waste, fraud and abuse! Where is Doge when we need them?
Imagine the young people behind him during a rally 10 years from now. 🤦♀
Dump has withheld millions of RepubliCon donations from key races but he uses OUR taxpayer dollars for his self aggrandizement! Just another grift in a loooong line of grifting by this corrupt administration and their POS leader.
What is anyone expected? Americans need to understand that they can not take everything for granted
B-b-but, SCOTUS says he's immune from prosecution for all official business. Since this is taxpayer funded, this is official business. Can't be prosecuted. Case closed!
He is the BIGGEST CON OF ALL TIME....and Americans fell for this BS, hook, line, & Sinker. <br>Its ok ... everyone makes a mistake in Life. <br>Correct the Error. <br>Vote BLUE ... Just Vote Blue... does not matter the Candidate. <br>Take back the House and Senate. His hands are tied. <br>No money for the Military... Iran war ends, gas goes down. <br>I doubt if Groceries and things we buy will go down. I've seen things go up but rarely ever go down. <br><br>Thanks Donnie ... Stay tuned for IMPEACHMENT ... <a href="UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/xsIfY4OqCd2T29sP54iAsAw"></a>
I will be pretending Trump is on the ballot, and staying home on election day. Depending on how angry Trump makes me that day, I may actually go vote and Vote Democrat for the first time ever. Either way, I will NEVER vote for another Republican again, thanks to Donald Trump.
AAAaaahhhhggggg!!!!!! <br>Sorry, just need to get that out.
Truckers biggest strike is coming up in October
Such a crook! Then try to tell you you're seeing or hearing something other than what's being said or done. Also trying to bribe voters! Such an idiot with idiot followers.
Trump obviously doesn't think about anyone other than himself.
CNN really hates Trump
Intro to The Twilight Zone with Trump instead of Rod Serling?😮
He only created that Ad because he knows he’s growing weaker and weaker.
Trump is just good in using tricks that cause economic chaos through this he can get more money from his economic enemies or make them bankrupt. To make America great he is bombing Iran as a result gas prices are up in all over the world including US he is continuing bombing Iran until he gets the control the business of exporting oil of this country.
AMERICA TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALL LYING RACIST FASCIST TRAITORS TO THE RULE OF LAW AND OUR CONSTITUTION PROVING IT TO ALL OF AMERICA ON JANUARY 6TH AND EVERY DAY SINCE Vote 🌊🇺🇲
This comes after almost a quarter of a billion dollars of taxpayers money spent on a glamour commercial campaign for ice Barbie on horseback, Trump's spending is out of control, it's worse than when he was in private business bankrupting casinos
And did 'the taxpayers' also pay to acquire the original content from 2024? .... Gee they wouldn't have done that would they?
I work my a$$ off daily and don’t even make enough money after my taxes are pulled from my non profit job, counting my Pennie’s to get gas, pay my rent and do minimal groceries, and the a$$holes is using my hard earned money , hardly no money for this clown to make stupid commercials, with my money? 🤬😡
The American people don't pay taxes to pay for his lies.
Steal by daylight is still stealing.
Pretend gas is $1.98 per gallon?
Quit being cowards and force him to pay it back or impeach him. These MAGA cultists are fascists.
Trump is the biggest and worst villain ever. When he's gone, please demolish all his "monuments" to himself. Before then, let's see the rest of the Trump-Epstein files.
We could throw a rock blind folded and hit something to impeach Trump with. He is that bad and F'd up everything!
I think it's the violation of the Hatch Act.
Using tax money to pay for his personal campaign expenses—and doing so right before the midterms—comes at the worst possible time for the Republican Party. It is a disaster for the party. Why did he do it? Donald Trump does not wish to comment.
He racked up billions already out of his side hustles of the presidency
Keep lieing soon when every one is broke from fuel and electricity because it's going to data centers poor by grift.
This guy is so corrupt, arrogant and thumbing his nose at the law. This guy needs to go.
Yes! I noticed one too while watching the only CBS show I watch - CBS Sunday Morning. Pissed me off when I saw the paid for by US Government (aka all of our tax dollars). Glad the elected Republicans are taking a stand.
What are they doing to stop it though?
Personally I don't care what the president does as long as he doesn't use our money he has billions from his crypto I don't understand why he has to use our money
Worst fake tv president and worst person Jeff ever knew. What could go wrong?
Trump is whole goddamn family and all his cohorts in the Republican party and privates all need to go to jail. Mile marker Mikey Trenton Michigan 81 year old retired Telephone Man Union person Progressive liberal for the rest of what little life I've got left😂
tHE Thumbnail: a beautiful lady and on the other side a sad tired old man losing power and HIS MIND
Susan Collins would be concerned, but trump is currently holding corruption dirt on her, so she's all for it.
It's not so that the Republicans don't lose the House, it's so Trump doesn't lose the House... I mean, the House and the Senate, when they are in session, lets Trump Tell them what they're going to do and when to do it!
WHO. FUCKING. CARES.<br>WAKE ME UP WHEN CONGRESS GROWS A SPINE.<br>otherwise all of this is harshly worded letter and "laws".<br>Ask us if Trump obeys the Law.
Trump is using taxpayers' dollars for his diapers bought from TAOBAO!!!!😂
HAHAHA love seeing the fall of the USA
MAGA voters only have a problem when Democrats spend money on people in need. They never have a problem when money is spent on useless renovations, ads no one asked for and other useless stuff. So the GOP doesn't really need to complain. It's all within the scheme.
Starting a war without Congressional approval, building a ballroom and arch, and a helipad without running the costs involved past the Government Accounting Office, awarding a no-bid contract to paint the National Reflecting Pool and falsely charge people with vandalism when the shoddy work goes awry and now making clearly partisan ads with taxpayer funds and calling them "public service" ads...why wait for approval when you can just plow forward and dare somebody to stop you? That's Trump's philosophy (to the extent he has one) in a nutshell.
Who do you expect to pay for these ads? Trump? He never pays for anything. He always gets someone else to foot the bill. In this case, it is the American taxpayer.<br><br>At least some Republicans in Congress are finally growing a backbone, though a bit too late. They had a chance to end this madness twice during Trump's first term, but they failed the country. Perhaps soon they may have a third chance.
Let's see some punishments. Stop wasting our time. Washington will never punish one of its own if they would also like to break the same law.
Funny you don't hear from grassley or mitch.
I think the larger question is: if this is just a campaign ad that’s two years old, why did they need to spend money on it at all? If it already existed, and all they did was write “paid for by tax dollars” at the bottom of the screen, it sounds like it’s just an excuse to make some money disappear.
Obviously, he is a gold digger who has a lot of money! Lol😂
I wonder if Trump did all of the work using taxpayers dollars for a private purpose like campaigning. <br>If the people of the state of California as a group lost something of value to a misdemeanor action would the states attorney have an obligation to ask for the money? <br>If a group of people decided to steal a small amount of money from 300 million people is it still a crime if it's hard to enforce?<br>Do we prosecute crimes to change the past or to stop it from happening again? <br>Inconvenienced by a thousand paper cuts is still a crime we don't want to experience again. <br><br>Who actually has immunity for a conspiracy to paper cut 300 million people every day?<br>Or is it just not worth the effort to stop it?
Trump has already cost Americans a tremendous amount of money, and that bill is only going to keep growing.
Let's see if the GOP Senators are going to FORCE TRUMP TO PAY IT BACK IN FULL FROM HIS OWN MONEY.
Their all rich pay it all back with intrest
Gotta love Massie! He’d get my vote in 2028
One would rather pretend he actually was held responsible for his behaviour and saw prison time than pretend he was on the ballot.

Lol...NCSWIC ... they aren't campaign ads, they're an introduction to the next phase... buckle up buttercups!
I am not a villain. I’m a democrat thank you very much.
The republicans are all talk because they are afraid of him
Yeah, they're 'very concerned', right up until the impeachment vote.
Give me a damn break. These GOP dorks are saying he shouldn't be using taxpayer money for his ads....THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!! STOP IT!
Its insane it took 2016 to now for Republicans to call out Trump
Cast my Ballot today. Hope it helps.
Now they call him out when they want to curry voters' favour. Where the blazers where they over all the years of corruption, lies, crime, and insurrection?!? GOP failed completely for 1.5 terms! Very few of them actually deserve to even stand for office let alone think they deserve voters' support! Pathetic unprofessional deplorable behaviour. Be gone. Take your clown-show administration with you!
Since he's using my money & he doesn't pay taxes, I want the extra money I send for elections & that he spends on his behalf be tax deductible. I want that idiot out of office.
CNN, Fake news.. don't believe anything CNN says..
John Kennedy can drop that fake accent at anytime. Everyone in the gop is a fraudster.
Don’t worry little hands Donny, WE WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE VOTING LIKE YOU ARE ON THE BALLOT!! November is coming 🌊
So this is where they draw the line 😂? This guy has been flippantly spending tax money the moment he was let in the white house instead of prison. I mean at least in this instance, it's politically related even though it's still self serving. GOP are only speaking up now because it's a bad image right before the election. He pulled this crap a few months ago, it would be swept under the iran war rug.
As stated countless times during the 2024 presidential campaign, if you elect a convicted felon as president, expect widespread corruption and criminal activity from the WH. Guess what...
That is what dictatorship does.
Trump should be impeached right now for this. Right Now!!!!
They aren’t taxpayer funds he STOLE OUR money, more felonies from the felon
As long as he isn't paying with his own money, everything is fine. The plane donated by Qatar, the donations from billionaires... He claims to be a billionaire—why doesn't he use his own money? They are a family of con artists.
It's too late. It's already out there. Does anyone believe his DOJ, OR is SCOTUS gonna do anything about it?.
No rules for trump.
Why would the president be posting campaign ads when his is termed out! This is bullshit news…
So what are they going to do about?
Well at least Senator Thune said, Trump shouldn't do it... But he liked the ad. Trump knows he's not supposed to do it... But when has that ever stopped him! There are a lot of things he shouldn't be doing but does them anyway
They were okay with noems ad but not okay with this? Hypocrites
Well, TACO keeps accumulating points to base his impeachment on.😏
Have these people forgot that Trump is a convicted Felon? So acting shocked that he is breaking the law is laughable.
The way I reason it from his perspective is this. He admires dictators, all of whom are socialists. Even Hitler was the leader of the National Socialist Party. The definition of socialism is government ownership of the means of production. Communism is the authoritarian form of it. He's already bought 10% of Intel. So, Trump buys ads to get his friends elected with taxpayer money. That's government ownership of the means to get his friends elected. They don't call them red communists for nothing.<a href="UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/hcIfY57lBJXp6AKBx4CoCA"></a>
Ummm, can’t they do something about it? 🤔
Trump is the law, the constitution and the state. Everyone is afraid of this skunk's verbal poop bombing.
Thats not money trump paid for the current ad. Trump used an old ad from last election and pocketed public money claiming he produced a new ad this year. See how cheap donnie crooked trump is??? Hes a felon...34 times convicted and new crimes everyday
So Republican Senators are finally growing a spine. Way too late.
Trump personally helped orchestrate taxpayer-funded ads promoting himself and his policies, source says: <a href="https://cnn.it/4hmYogk">https://cnn.it/4hmYogk</a>
