Trump Does Not Plan to Reimburse Taxpayers for Promotional Ads
A day after the president said his super PAC would pay for the ads, which had drawn bipartisan backlash, officials said that he meant moving forward. A new taxpayer-funded ad aired Tuesday.
The Hill
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.
