- A second television ad featuring President Donald Trump, explicitly labeled as paid for by the U.S. government, aired during Sunday NFL games.
- In the ad, Trump speaks of a final battle for the nation, pledging to cast out communists, Marxists, and fascists, and to rout the fake news media.
- Critics condemned the government-funded commercials, which aired shortly before the midterm elections, accusing the administration of creating political propaganda.
- The White House defended the commercials as educational public service announcements, asserting they are patriotic rather than campaign-related because Trump is not on the ballot.
- The spot follows a similar government-funded advertisement aired earlier in the week titled America Will Never Be a Communist Country.
