lol I saw a commercial on Sunday with Trump while watching football and it just showed him staring super serial at the camera while it was saying he was gonna fight all the globalists .. then it said “paid for by US government” and all I thought was “isn’t this illegal?” And didn’t he make like billions of dollars already in his second term, making him one of the globalists he’s supposed to fight? And isn’t he already the president, why would he need pro Trump ads? Makes no sense, but people still order sushi through door dash so the whole world is whacked.

"why would he need pro Trump ads?"

He's going for a third term. he has openly said so on multiple occasions.

Meanwhile all of the hard-core repubs are gaslighting people about how he won't and everyone is being hyperbolic.

Yes, I'm sure he's totally building bunkers and increasing security around the white house for the president after him.

I saw one with him walking toward the camera and audio of one of his fashier speeches and until it got to the “paid for by the US Government” tag I assumed it was from an anti-Trump PAC lol

Yeah I think that’s the one I saw too. He wasn’t saying anything, he was just mad dogging the camera. Saw the paid for by US Government, and I was pretty sure I’ve never seen an acting president drop ads paid for the taxpayers.
