In a deeply disturbing new ad that was confirmed by Mediaiteto have aired during the overnight broadcasts of Jesse Watters Primetime, Hannity, and Gutfeld! on Fox News, President Donald Trump has officially leaned full-force into fascist propaganda that is being paid for with our tax dollars.

CBS News Miami investigative reporter Jim DeFede appears to have been the first to break the news of the horrifying new ad that promotes President Trump and slams communism, with the shocking disclaimer that it was "paid for by the US Government" -- that means us.

"So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show," DeFede wrote in the caption of his post on X, accompanying a recording of the ad. "It says ‘Paid for by the US Government.’ This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” – over images of Trump."

Donald Trump is heard saying, "Together we will defeat communism, socialism, and Marxism in America. America will never be a communist country," as a series of photos of himself flash across the screen, set to the song Love Me by JMSN.

UFC head Dana White, a personal friend and supporter of the president, can also be heard speaking in the background of the ad, praising Donald Trump as the "toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met and nothing is gonna stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves."

The ad has spread like wildfire across social media, and certainly not in a good way, as experts and Americans question the legality of the ad, openly mock it as an embarrassingly desperate last-ditch attempt by Trump to save his own skin ahead of the looming midterms, and warn that the ad is fascist propaganda, plain and simple.

CNN chief political analyst David Axelrod wrote in response to the gut-churning ad, "American taxpayers should not pay for this! It is plainly a political ad aimed at boosting the [president]’s sagging standing and motivate his base, weeks before the election. Let him reach into that pile of cash he’s amassed over at MAGA Inc!"

He was far from the only one to express their criticism and warnings:

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
