Presidential Public Service Announcements Are Nothing New

The attacks on President Donald J. Trump’s public service announcements are highly dishonest. The announcements are very clearly not campaign ads; President Trump is not on the ballot and there is no call to action. Instead, the announcements are a reminder for Americans to love their country and know why it’s worth defending — at home, at the border, and abroad. That’s not partisanship — that’s a government that still believes in the country it serves. When prior Administrations utilized the airwaves, it was called “public education.” When this Administration promotes pride in our country, many of those same voices call it “propaganda.” Patriotism isn’t partisan.
