A new ad campaign glorifying President Trump is on the air on national cable and national networks including CBS beginning Thursday, and it's being paid for by American taxpayers.

The Trump administration is airing another taxpayer-funded ad, this time touting the seven-month Iran war. In the commercial, which ad-tracking firm Medium Buying shared Wednesday on social media, audio of President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth plays in the background as U.

US District Judge Jennifer Rochon issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the ads on Sunday, October 11, which took effect at 6:45 pm that night. The order said the government must cancel the ads, “including those placements for the evening of October 11, 2026.”

A new ad campaign that promotes President Trump and his policies is facing bipartisan backlash. Many viewers emailed WCCO, wondering if the taxpayer-funded TV commercials are even legal.

The pre-midterm commercials are “reminding Americans to love their country,” a White House official insists to Vanity Fair, even as both Republican and Democrat lawmakers balk.
