Save America placed just over $3,000 in new Facebook ads this week, even as the former president remains banned from the site.

Former president Donald Trump’s fundraising arm is once again advertising on Facebook after the social media giant banned the ex-president from using the site.

Starting late last week, Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, a joint venture between Trump’s Save America leadership PAC and his Make America Great Again PAC, has spent $3,506 on Facebook ads promoting Trump’s upcoming rally outside Cleveland, Ohio and calling for donations to his fund.

Another ad, targeting President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, asks supporters to donate to “STOP SLEEPY JOE.”

“After just a few months in office, it’s clear that Biden is nothing more than a washed-up, career politician who has no clue what he is doing. There is a CRISIS at our border, gas prices have SKYROCKETED, and America is in DECLINE! Please donate now to show President Trump what you REALLY think about Joe Biden,” the ad says.

The ads link to Trump’s Save America fundraising page, which is run by the Republican digital ad firm WinRed.

The amount of money behind the ads is incredibly small as these expenditures go. But the use of the platform is what’s notable: Trump is fundraising on a mammoth social network that still considers him persona non grata.
