As they should. His ads are pretty blatantly illegal.
"In the lawsuit, filed Oct. 9 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, state Democrats accuse the Trump administration of violating an act President Donald Trump signed into law earlier this year, which prohibits the use of appropriated funds for “publicity or propaganda purposes” not authorized by the Congress."
