A taxpayer-funded ad campaign includes controversial spots, such as one titled 'God Made Trump' and others featuring military operations and a UFC fight. The campaign has drawn criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, though the White House maintains they are public service announcements.

Yet-to-be-aired spots include a trio of ads highlighting the US military and operations in Iran and Venezuela, one called “God Made Trump” and another recapping the UFC fight he hosted at the White House. Republicans and Democrats alike have questioned the wisdom of spending so much taxpayer money on the ads, which the White House has defended as public service announcements.
