Another video advertisement featuring President Donald J. Trump has critics shrieking in outrage after it ran during Sunday afternoon’s NFL games.
In the 30-second black-and-white spot, a determined-looking Trump glares into the camera as he strolls down a hallway while a voiceover of the president from one of his fiery speeches declares, “This is the final battle,” and puts the communists and “villains” in the “fake news” media on notice that their days are numbered.
“The final battle, with you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State, we will expel the warmongers from our government, we will drive out the globalists,” Trump vows in the ad, which bears a striking resemblance to one that ran during the 2024 presidential campaign.

“We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists,” the president continued. “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.”
Like a previous Trump spot that is getting airtime before the midterms, the ad informs viewers that it was “paid for by the U.S. Government.”
It did not specifically endorse Republicans fighting for their lives and the future of the country in the looming midterm elections, which are now just five weeks away.
The ad comes as Trump and Republicans have emphasized that the Democrats are akin to communists, and after he banned three “fake news” media outlets from the White House, only to have the restrictions at least temporarily blocked by a meddlesome judge.
CNN reported that the Trump ad ran during Fox broadcasts of the Washington Commanders-Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns-Carolina Panthers games, with others noting it also aired during commercial breaks of other contests, including the late-afternoon tilt between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Minnesota Vikings.
The howls erupted immediately on social media.
What’s crazy is it’s not that hard to for a White House to steer donors to an outside group who can run fluffer ads like this. But no, Trump and this administration wants to take the maximally corrupt route just to show you they can get away with it. https://t.co/VV3rrLNYpo

The U.S. government just aired a Trump campaign ad during NFL games—and the networks put it on the air.
“Final battle.”
“Deep state.”
“Globalists.”
“Communists.”
“Fake news media.”Paid for by the U.S. government.
The networks didn’t create this propaganda.
They saw what it…

So much for DOGE.
This is the kind of waste, fraud, and abuse they were originally supposed to go after.

The ad comes amid Democrat outrage over another Trump advertisement that ran earlier last week during Fox News powerhouse nighttime lineup and went viral on social media.
“Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America,” Trump declared in the first ad. “America will never be a communist country.”
The White House is currently airing this video as an ad during commercial breaks on Fox News.
It looks and sounds like a political spot and includes a disclaimer stating that it is paid for by the U.S. government.

The ad also features a series of images of the president while touting his record, a military flyover of the White House, and footage of Trump and UFC chief Dana White, who praises his friend and ally as the “toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met.”
“Love Me” by JMSN provides the soundtrack to the rousing advertisement that so triggered Democrats that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) claimed that it could be a felony and a violation of the Hatch Act.
“These public service announcements are about reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad,” a White House spokesperson told CBS News amid the uproar over the first ad. “The ad is educational and unapologetically patriotic. We should be proud of our country.”
