White House expands taxpayer-funded ad campaign promoting Trump

Original: White House expands taxpayer-paid ad campaign boosting Trump

The White House is broadening a government-funded advertising campaign that promotes President Trump, according to The Washington Post. The campaign uses taxpayer money to run ads that critics say amount to political self-promotion rather than public information. The expansion raises questions about the use of federal funds for messaging centred on the president himself, and the story is drawing attention amid wider debate over the administration's use of official communications.

Why now: Fresh reporting that public money is being used for ads promoting the sitting president has sparked debate over the appropriate use of taxpayer funds.
