President Trump reverses course and announces that his super PAC will now pay for the TV ads promoting him that have been airing nationwide at taxpayer expense. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/us/politics/trump-taxpayer-funded-ads-pac.html?unlocked_article_code=1.GVE.YtCK.s-7NpNxH4fC7&smid=nytcore-ios-share

@newsguyusa@flipboard.social Presumably after his PAC sues his government for a free payday. Also, it's pretty damned illegal for a politician to directly collaborate with their super PACs.

@newsguyusa@flipboard.social What about the ones that have already been aired? Will we get our money back?

@newsguyusa@flipboard.social Don't believe it without proof. Anything related to money you can't trust 47 not to lie about, if it suits his purpose. No reason for this backtrack except that it might lose him some votes.
