Trump says taxpayers will no longer fund administration ads

US President Donald Trump announced that taxpayer money will no longer be used to fund advertising promoting his administration's work. The pledge drew criticism, with commentators arguing that public money should never have paid for political ads in the first place and accusing the administration of undermining democratic norms. The move comes amid ongoing debate over government spending and the use of public funds for self-promotion.
Why now: The use of public funds for political self-promotion touches on concerns about democracy and government spending.
