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.

    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)

              individual occurences yeah but this administration its part of policy. If one ice agent did not do due process once or heck if it even happened once in awhile but the agency investigated and corrected the occurence or if not if its parent agency did or if not if the secretary of the department did or if not if the president stepped in or if not if the congress did its duty. Then it would not be policy. actually the policy is when the president did not act. it going further just shows its the whole party behind it.

                You don’t think the whole Democratic party is complicit in their own party’s corruption? I’m not saying the two are equal to be clear. But dismissing Democrat corruption as a few bad apples is insane work.

                    So Democrat corruption is ok because “that’s just life” but Republicans are pure evil? Where is your line boss

                    You are stuck in an illusion of choice.

                    “You can go to bed now, or you can go to bed in five minutes” do you really get a choice there?

                    How about, "The rich will get tax cuts and Israel WILL take your money. Would you like to be physically assaulted to achieve this? Or would you like to “return to normalcy” to achieve this?
