In true Byron fashion, he hasn’t commented on this misuse of taxpayer money

TALLAHASSEE – Americans can’t afford basic needs like groceries and gas, yet the Trump administration is spending taxpayer money on propaganda ads reminiscent of a totalitarian dictatorship along the lines of North Korea or Cuba rather than a democracy.

In his typical fashion of remaining silent on Trump’s transgressions, Byron Donalds has yet to comment. This comes as no surprise, given that to date, Donalds has also failed to condemn the Hope Florida scandal—where taxpayer dollars were similarly misused to fund political campaigns against two citizen-led amendments.

“You talk a big game about transparency and answering tough questions, but when the hardballs come, you start dodging. It’s your turn to answer our questions, Duck, Duck, Donalds: Do you approve of President Trump spending taxpayer dollars on political propaganda?” asked Lisa Zayas, Florida Watch’s Deputy Communications Director.

“Do you approve of Governor DeSantis spending taxpayer dollars on political propaganda? Do you approve of Attorney General Uthmeier spending taxpayer dollars on political propaganda? Do you approve of U.S. Senator Moody spending taxpayer dollars on political propaganda?” added Zayas.
