As traitorous, backstabbing Republicans try to fundraise using Trump’s name, all while trashing him behind his back, Trump is hitting back, demanding RINO Republicans STOP using his name to try and fundraise for himself. With Trump as president, the GOP saw record highs in fundraising. Now that he’s no longer president, the GOP is still trying to milk him and his name to fleece donors. Trump has had enough.
That’s not all. Trump and his new campaign team are also cracking down on the use of the president’s name for fundraising — a huge draw attracting small-dollar donors. Three sources told us that Trump, who made his fortune licensing his name, has felt burned and “abused” by the GOP bandying about his name to haul in money.
His team has conveyed that any Republican or GOP committee seeking to use it needs explicit approval, according to five sources familiar with the situation. One Trump adviser said they’ve been sending out cease-and-desists to faux PACs using Trump’s name to fundraise, among other demands to knock it off.
