Just reported on MSNBC.

Does he realize that he technically can’t use taxpayer funds for political campaigning?

1. That is a clear violation of the Hatch Act.

"The Hatch Act generally prohibits Federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty, in a Government room or building, while wearing an official uniform, or while using a Government vehicle."

4. I don't think Hatch applies to the POTUS.

But there are FEC laws that it violates.

11. I think this is an excellent idea. You know, honk to help him celebrate

12. Whether he realizes it is irrelevant. He doesn't care...

...and who's going to do anything g about it?
