\n The White House has launched another taxpayer-funded television ad before the midterms, this time featuring imagery of President Donald Trump walking down a hall as audio plays of him saying \u201cthis is the final battle.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe will cast out the communist, Marxists, and fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,\u201d Trump says in the ad<\/a>, echoing comments he made<\/a> during a Veterans Day speech in 2023.\n <\/p>\n \n The ad aired during at least two NFL games on Sunday, during Fox\u2019s broadcasts of the Washington Commanders-Seattle Seahawks matchup as well as the Carolina Panthers-Cleveland Browns game.\n <\/p>\n \n The Trump administration has drawn widespread attention for its airing of ads featuring the president just over a month before the November midterms. The White House has compared the ads to previous administrations running public service announcements about Medicare, Obamacare and promoting Covid-19 vaccination, saying in a statement that its new commercials \u201care very clearly not campaign ads.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n The latest ad appears nearly identical to the majority of a video Trump posted on Truth Social<\/a> in January 2024, during his third presidential campaign. The video on Truth Social has an additional six seconds that includes Trump\u2019s campaign logo and a number to text, while \u201cPaid for by the US Government\u201d is seen across the screen at the end of the White House-funded ad.\n <\/p>\n \n This is the third government-funded ad to be captured in recent days by the media tracker AdImpact. An ad that began airing<\/a> Wednesday featured rapidly edited pictures and video of Trump over audio of him denouncing communism and socialism, with text on the screen that touts his administration\u2019s accomplishments, such as \u201creigniting American manufacturing.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
