Trump Campaign Ad Boosts UNC Students Defending US Flag Amid Campus Protests

The ad highlights a contentious campus incident where UNC students countered pro-Palestinian protests by restoring the American flag.

Former President Donald Trump's new campaign ad features UNC students who intervened during a pro-Palestinian protest to raise the American flag.
The ad, released on Truth Social, mixes news clips and portrays the students as patriotic symbols in the face of campus unrest.
A GoFundMe campaign supporting the students has raised over $500,000, with notable contributions including $10,000 from billionaire Bill Ackman.
The incident has sparked a broader debate on campus about the balance between free speech and respectful demonstrations.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre commended the students for their actions, emphasizing the right to peaceful protest.
