Trump ads aired day after judge blocked government-funded spots
US government-funded Trump commercials continued airing on television the day after a federal judge blocked them. The ads likely violate a US law prohibiting government-funded publicity or propaganda. US District Judge Jennifer Rochon issued a temporary restraining order on Sunday, October 11, which took effect at 6:45 pm that evening. The order required the government to cancel the ads, including placements scheduled for the night of October 11, 2026. The most widely aired commercial featured Trump railing against his perceived enemies, stating he would "liberate America from these villains once and for all." Other spots in the campaign praised Trump's record as president and described the United States as the "most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history." Additional commercials addressed the Iran war and the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
