The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday sued Donald Trump’s administration for recent television advertisements that promoted his political message while costing taxpayers millions of dollars.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the ads are illegal government-sponsored propaganda and accuses Trump of personally directing them. It asks the court to declare the ads illegal and stop the use of federal funds to pay for them.
Trump has faced bipartisan backlash for the ads, which glorify him and echo his campaign pitch as voters cast early ballots with the midterm elections less than a month away.
And how would they stop him? Even if they tell him he can’t, they can’t enforce it. And nearly all Republicans in Congress have turned a blind eye to his shenanigans so far. The fact that they haven’t impeached him yet means that they are fine with this. I don’t give a shit what they actually say. Actions matter more than words.
