Original: Trump says he will stop using taxpayer funds for self-promoting ads after backlash - US politics live https://www.thegua

Donald Trump says he will stop running self-promoting advertisements paid for with taxpayer money after a wave of criticism. The announcement came as US politics coverage also focused on ads about diesel and Baltimore ahead of the midterm elections. Critics had accused the administration of using public funds for political messaging, prompting the rapid retreat.

Why now: The use of public money for Trump's own promotion drew strong criticism, making the reversal newsworthy ahead of the midterms.
