Trump Says His Super PAC Will Cover Ads Featuring Him

(AP) – President Donald Trump has responded to a major backlash over taxpayer-funded advertisements glorifying himself. He’s agreed to use his super PAC to cover such costs going forward. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling Trump “deranged and dangerous” for suggesting in a campaign speech that Iran could attack cities in his Democrat-led state. “Let ’em take out Los Angeles. Let ’em take out San Diego,” Trump said. “This is a very small price to pay.” And Paramount closed its $81 billion purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, the companies announced Tuesday. Trump had promoted the merger as a way of controlling network coverage.
