Trump ads paid for by US government allegedly violate anti-propaganda laws
摘要
消费者权益组织“公共公民”向美国联邦通信委员会和联邦贸易委员会投诉，要求停播特朗普政府资助的广告，称其涉嫌违反禁止用纳税人资金进行宣传及限制联邦雇员政治活动的法律。该组织指出，其中一则名为“最后一战”的广告与特朗普2024年竞选广告内容相同，仅资助方由竞选委员会变为美国政府。白宫称这些广告为公益宣传。
Broadcasters should be ordered to stop running Trump commercials that appear to violate US laws, consumer advocacy group Public Citizen said today in a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission. The ads appear to violate laws against using taxpayer funds for propaganda and a law that restricts political activity by federal government employees, the group said.
"The most recent of these taxpayer-funded campaign ads, entitled 'The Final Battle,' is a copied version of an ad that the Trump campaign committee issued in the 2024 election," Public Citizen wrote. "In dead serious black-and-white footage, Trump is seen marching down a corridor with a stern look, while the audio blares: 'This is the final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government.' A notice at the bottom of the screen announces: 'Paid for by the US government.'"
Trump also says in the ad, "We will cast out the communists, Marxists, and fascists. 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." It uses the same video and audio from an ad Trump used in 2024, with the main difference being that the 2024 version was paid for by Trump's campaign committee instead of the US government. The White House claims its recent ads are public service announcements.
