President Donald Trump complained about a new ad that he apparently saw while watching TV on Thursday evening.


The ad was paid for by "U.S. Tech Workers," which is a nonprofit that argues against H-1B visas. The visas allow U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.

The ad bashes Jeff Lyash, the CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority, for making $8 million while attempting to outsource jobs.

Trump blasted the ad, alleging that it was "fake."

"The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a wholly owned Government corporation created by act of May 18, 1933 (16 U.S.C. 831-831dd). All functions of the Authority are vested in its nine-member Board of Directors, the members of which are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate," the Federal Register explains on their website.
