The White House airs Trump campaign ads paid by you

by Ann Telnaes Sep 28, 2026

When I read about the White House airing campaign ads with taxpayer money , I immediately thought about an exhibition I saw last year in New York City at Poster House. The Future was Then; The Changing Face of Fascist Italy explained how Benito Mussolini and his regime went about not only controlling the government but every aspect of Italian society. Mussolini also plastered his image on everything and cultivated a macho, aggressive strongman image.

This Orwellian photo in the exhibition caught my eye.
