Facing Backlash, Trump Says His Super PAC Will Pay for Taxpayer-Funded Ads
The president said that his PAC, MAGA, Inc., would pay for TV ads promoting him that had been paid for with taxpayer money.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on the same basic story: Trump says the ads that praised him and were funded with taxpayer money will now be paid for by his PAC. The New York Times frames this as a response to backlash and names MAGA, Inc., while CNBC mainly repeats the claim in headline form. CNBC’s extract uniquely adds that the New York Times reported Trump personally instructed his budget director to use taxpayer money for the ads.
