A new ad is apparently hitting cable television, aimed at propping up President Donald Trump, while the song “Love Me” plays. And it includes an alarming disclaimer, given its content: “Paid for by the U.S. government.”

The ad was spotted by CBS News Miami investigative reporter Jim DeFede, who tweeted a video of it from his television:
So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.”
This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” – over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews pic.twitter.com/eCkEZpipWx— Jim DeFede (@DeFede) September 24, 2026
In the video, Trump ― who on Thursday rolled out a literal red carpet for communist Chinese leader Xi Jinping ― rails against communism.
“America will never be a communist country,” Trump says in the video.
The video also includes UFC boss Dana White at the 2024 Republican National Convention praising Trump as the “toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met and nothing is gonna stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves.”
The video includes the words “love me” from the song “Love Me” by JMSN, which are sung repeatedly over images of Trump. It’s unclear whether the artist gave permission to include his song, as both Trump and his White House staff have repeatedly used music and images without clearing them.
Unlike most other taxpayer-funded PSAs, this one does not even loosely promote a cause or initiative that benefits the public. It looks more like a campaign ad, especially with White’s RNC excerpt. But since the promotion was paid for by the federal government to run on TV, critics described it as pure propaganda:
Unmistakable signs you live under an authoritarian, fascist government.👇🏼 https://t.co/e8hE62NW8s

This is fascist propaganda, period.
I don’t know what the hell is going through the minds of the members of our other two branches of government, but they are actively betraying our country. https://t.co/ru77s7idOX

Saying “America will never be a communist country” while blasting state funded propaganda is too on the nose. https://t.co/2kfkhpoLaH

So funny to do this the day after the Zohran love fest. Also they will spend our tax dollars on literally anything other than healthcare. https://t.co/jHx5x2WPvK

We will defeat communism with the most socialist president we’ve ever had? Snort. Yeah, right. Also, we as taxpayers paid for this disgusting ad that very much looks and sounds like a “Dear Leader” propaganda video. But, tell us again about communism … 😑🙄 https://t.co/xG3UwpogeB

Took 250 years for it all to go to hell. The People’s House is being held hostage by the dumbest, most corrupt, deranged person in American history. #VoteBlueMidterms 🗳️💙🌊 https://t.co/7oaX4qyINE
