Trump Runs Midterm Ads About Himself Fighting America’s “Enemies”

Left, Right & Center vor 4 Wochen

The White House released what it described as a “public service
announcement” warning Americans of so-called enemies like
communists and Marxists. But the TV spot is mostly a replay of a
campaign ad Trump ran just two years ago with a new caption,
“Paid For By The U.S. Government.” Where is the line between PSA
and propaganda, especially so close to those big midterm
elections where his party could lose control of one or both sides
of Congress?

Affordability remains high on voters’ minds, and the president
says he’s helping by lowering fuel economy standards for U.S.
automakers. He says that will make it cheaper for Americans to
buy cars. But if there is relief there, is it outweighed by those
sky-high prices at the pump that came with Trump’s war in Iran?

And bipartisanship breaks out in the Senate with passage of a
bill to regulate the big dollar world of college sports. We talk
about the real winners and losers.
