Why White House ran 6 Trump videos on social media hours after court blocked TV ads

The White House has published six videos featuring US President Donald Trump on YouTube and Truth Social within 24 hours, even as his administration faces a court order barring the use of taxpayer funds for television advertisements promoting the president. The videos appeared on Monday, shortly after a federal judge in New York ordered the Trump administration to stop airing the disputed television advertisements using government money. The ruling came in the middle of criticism that the advertisements were partisan and could influence voters ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections.
