X users are reporting that a full-throated ad blitz from Donald Trump's 2024 campaign is leaking through the site’s filters and opt-out mechanisms.

The ads are paid for by Team Trump , the official account of the Trump campaign, and have promoted two hashtags: # BringBackTrump and # FightForAmerica .

Even blocking the campaign doesn't completely remove the ad, merely stripping an image from it.
