The Trump administration is using tax dollars and federal agency resources to produce campaign videos highlighting what the videos claim are Trump administration “accomplishments”.
We use the scare quotes because the White House is currently circulating a document of “Trump administration highlights” in the areas of science and technology that touts its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
I ran the @interior digital team during President Obama’s re-election in 2012. I would have been fired for doing this.
This is a propaganda video created with your tax dollars meant to bolster the President’s chances of being re-elected. This is way outside the lines. https://t.co/tRw1MpmUnr
Tim is correct. This is unethical and likely illegal. The Trump Administration has obliterated the norms of government communications and installed sycophantic toadies to push North Korean level propaganda extolling his success.
