But a White House official confirmed to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network, that Trump does not plan to reimburse the money already spent, saying, “The President’s Truth was not referring to reimbursement.”

The ads were part of a $20 million campaign and feature Trump’s voice saying the country will defeat socialism and communism.

    Might as well send him a strongly worded letter asking him to pwetty pwease give back some of the money he stole from you. We let politicians get away with too much. That is how we got into this mess in the first place.

    As much as I despise Republicans, it was pretty genius to make their Nazi social media be called Truth and refer to the posts as “Truths”. Obviously none of them are, but simple terminology is all you really need for idiots.

            There’s no integrity from either side. So this isn’t happening. Ever.

              One side actually has members resign after pressure from the party like al franken, he committed the sin of doing uso as a comedian and pantomiming grobing a woman using camera perspective.

                Franken committed the sin of earnestly advocating for universal healthcare, and the Dems found that inconvenient at the time.

                You are aware of how many Epstein associates are currently in office, aren’t you? They are all child rapists, which is arguably worse than pantomiming a boob grab on a sleeping adult woman.

                  That’s what’s so funny with these people. I bet if it was all Dems and Bernie tried to give us free healthcare, there would some rule that would remove him IMMEDIATELY

                  The Dems have not peldged to hold ANYONE legally responsible and PUNISH THEM.

                  Trumps biggest rival JUST shot down the idea of even a one time tax on billionaires.

                  Maybe we will get home confinement for Stephen miller after a couple years, but no one is going to jail lol

                And how long ago was that? There’s zero integrity in either side. And to get ahead of the manufactured outrage from anyone reading along….

                this doesn’t mean both are the same. It just means that on some levels, they are very similar.

                  I mean on some level everything is similar. Menendez is 2024. It regularly happens with one party and not so much with the other. With the other it usually involves formal investigation and you don’t see the party cleaning its own house much. so at one level they are similar (politicians) and in another they are light years apart (violating the constitution, bribery, corruption)

        He won’t be arrested he’ll be shot taken while being taken into custody if anything. Too many people with power and money to let him turn fed witsec and rat everyone else out.
