白宫为这则支持特朗普总统的电视广告进行了辩护。该广告是在2026年中期选举前夕发布的，白宫表示：“爱国主义与党派无关。”
The White House defended the pro-President Trump television campaign that aired this week ahead of the 2026 midterm election, saying, “patriotism isn’t partisan.”
白宫在一份新闻稿中写道：“这些宣传广告旨在提醒美国人热爱自己的国家，并让他们明白为何需要为国家付出努力——无论是在国内、边境还是海外。这些广告完全体现了美国的价值观，信息透明明确，其目的只是为了国家的利益，而非为了在选举中争取选票。”
“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,” the White House wrote in a press release. “These public service announcements are unapologetically American, clearly disclosed, and aimed at the country — not a line on the ballot.” The 30-second commercial features Trump’s voice, saying, “Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America,” and “America will never be a communist country.” The song “Love Me” by JMSN, whose name is Christian Berishaj, plays in the background.
这则30秒长的广告中，特朗普亲自出镜，宣称：“我们将共同战胜美国的共产主义、社会主义和马克思主义势力”，并强调“美国永远不会成为一个共产主义国家”。背景音乐是JMSN（本名Christian Berishaj）演唱的歌曲《Love Me》。
The ad used 2024 remarks from UFC President Dana White, describing the president as “the toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met and nothing is going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country that he’s lost.”
该广告引用了UFC主席Dana White在2024年的言论，称特朗普是“我见过最坚强、最具韧性的人，没有什么能够阻止他为国家付出如此巨大的努力”。广告中还明确标注了“本广告由美国政府资助”。
The ad’s disclaimer reads, “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
白宫列举了多位过去美国总统使用类似广告手段的例子，例如前总统拜登在2021年发布的疫苗宣传广告，旨在鼓励美国人在疫情期间接种疫苗。
The White House cited multiple examples of presidents in the past using similar ad campaigns “to explain policy and make the case for the nation’s direction.” The list included former President Biden’s “We can do this” vaccine commercials from 2021 that encouraged Americans to get vaccinated against COVID during the pandemic.
白宫还指出：“这些广告显然不属于竞选广告的范畴；特朗普并未参与选举，也没有任何呼吁选民采取具体行动的内容。”
It also stated that “the announcements are very clearly not campaign ads; President Trump is not on the ballot and there is no call to action.”
特朗普已公开支持多名即将参加中期选举的候选人，并在8月份呼吁选民“把我的意愿当作自己的意愿来投票”。他在为南卡罗来纳州参议员Darline Graham举行的竞选集会上也使用了同样的宣传策略。
Trump has endorsed a number of candidates in the upcoming midterm elections, and in August, encouraged voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot.” He invoked this same messaging tactic during a rally for Sen. Darline Graham (R-S.C.) for her runoff election in the Palmetto State.
根据美联社的报道，政治媒体监测公司 AdImpact 估计，特朗普政府为投放这些广告花费了超过 40 万美元。该媒体还指出，这些广告正在 CBS 电视台的黄金时段节目以及福克斯新闻的多个节目中播出。
AdImpact, a political media monitoring company, estimated the Trump administration spent more than $400,000 to run the ads, according to the Associated Press. The outlet also reported that the ad is running on primetime and morning shows on CBS and various Fox News programming.
AdImpact 在社交媒体上表示，这些广告于周五开始播放，内容为特朗普亲自配音，配以他在拉什莫尔山发表演讲时的照片片段。
AdImpact wrote on social media that Trump’s July 4th began airing Friday. It featured Trump narrating alongside a montage of pictures of the president delivering remarks at Mount Rushmore.
