If you understand the war inside the machine {GO DEEP} then this move by President Trump will make a lot more sense.
Going all the way back to 2016, the #1 value to the RNC from the candidacy of Donald Trump President Trump has always been the supporter data, the donor files and data of the people who support Donald Trump. This data was what literally floored Reince Priebus in 2016, because the RNC had never before seen such a scale of grassroots donor support in the history of the organization.
The RNC administrative leadership were floored when the data-sharing requirement forced Trump’s team to turn over the data right before the GOP convention. It was so far beyond the scale of what they had ever seen before, they could not believe it. Millions and millions of new first-time names. The core of middle-class America.
Data are people. MAGA people. Lots of them. More than the RNC has ever known.
Right now, the corporate club known as the RNC is as much the enemy as the Biden DOJ. Readers here know exactly what I am talking about, and there is no need to rehash all the facets and examples. The battle inside the RNC is between the billionaire Wall Street club who controls it, and the MAGA voting base who operate within it.
President Trump snubbing the RNC debate in Wisconsin is a direct shot against the RNC as a private corporation. An RNC club that is covertly in alignment with the DNC, another private corporation funded by the same Wall Street billionaires. The RNC is now going to justify the next attacks against Trump by pointing out his non-compliance with the debate.
The RNC has been covertly hostile, but you will now see them become openly hostile. President Trump knows this, and his next move is brilliant. President Trump has created an “official seal of approval” which most accompany any campaign endorsement, donor request or ancillary aspect implying Trump support. This is directly done to counteract the ability of the RNC to exploit Trump’s affiliation and essentially hostage status.
In essence the RNC cannot exploit the MAGA brand for RNC/MAGA endorsement, and or use the donor data files without the Trump “seal of approval.” The data becomes worthless because without the Trump seal any request is ignored. Additionally, without the seal any RNC candidate is ignored. This creates leverage. This is how the insurgency forces the compliance of the GOPe. At least that appears to be the goal from Donald Trump.
If the RNC, or any vendor or candidate they have sold the files to, including any candidate who runs but does not align with Trump, attempts to exploit the files without the Trump seal of approval, the fracture between Trump and the RNC becomes openly visible.
It is not coincidental this ‘Seal of Approval’ is announced after the debate decision was made public.
Donald J Trump – Bedminster, NJ — President Donald J. Trump will grant the right to use his “Seal of Approval” to an exclusive group of candidates and committees that the President endorses or otherwise supports. The purpose of the Seal is to help President Trump’s donors distinguish between authorized uses of his name and likeness, and unauthorized uses including oftentimes outright scams. It is intended to protect the President’s donors and supporters from illegitimate organizations falsely claiming some affiliation with President Trump and his campaign.
President Trump’s endorsement power is the most powerful force in American politics. His influence is election defining. When President Trump posts an endorsement on Truth Social, or a candidate onstage before tens of thousands of voters, America First patriots rally behind President Trump’s choice and deliver a decisive victory.
Unfortunately, some candidates, PACs and their fundraising vendors have drained millions of dollars from President Trump’s donors by falsely claiming that they support President Trump, that the President supports them, and that funds received in response to the solicitations will support, help, or defend President Trump. To fight this scam, President Trump’s endorsement will now include the right to use his name and likeness in fundraising solicitations and other campaign communications, as signified by this Seal. The Seal will be a powerful signal to President Trump’s loyal donors that the sender is on Team Trump and is not a scammer.
Candidates and committees authorized to use the Seal shall be permitted, and indeed encouraged, to use the Seal in connection with their activities on social media, in paid advertising, and on merchandise.
This Seal is revocable, non-exclusive license, and the digital art file containing the Seal is non-transferable. Any entity that mimics or unlawfully uses the Seal without explicit approval from a representative of President Trump’s campaign may face legal action.
Before responding to a fundraising solicitation from a candidate or committee, President Trump’s donors should visit DonaldJTrump.com/SealOfApproval to review an up-to-date list of candidates and committees the President has endorsed or supports. Candidates and committees that wish to be a part of Official Team Trump and receive the right to use the Seal should visit DonaldJTrump.com/SealOfApproval to apply.
By granting a candidate or committee the right to use this seal, President Trump does not solicit contributions for or on behalf of such candidate or committee. Additionally, the seal does not indicate or imply that President Trump or Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. has reviewed or approved any fundraising solicitation or other communication in connection with the seal appears. Indeed, it has not done so and will not do so. (link)

Trump may be unorthodox, but he knows how to get the job done, and antagonize all the right people along the way.

“However, when there is a battle for control of the corporation, a battle that will ultimately determine the financial outcome, the internal battle becomes the priority.
2024 is going to be the election season when we see this corporate battle explode inside in the Republican group. Decades of entrenched power are at stake, and there has been four years of counter positioning and backroom discussion leading up to this moment.“
“Donald Trump is not a problem for the Republican Party; Donald Trump is our response to the problem within the Republican Party.
When you hear the billionaire donor influence group saying the two priorities for control of the Republican Club involve, (1) eliminating populism in the ranks; and (2) realigning with multinational corporate objectives (vis a vis Wall Street), what they are publicly expressing is their RNC corporate need to get rid of the America First economic agenda; to get rid of the MAGA influence.”

The President Trump/Tucker Carlson interview streaming during the
Gomers Of Politics convention would allow President Trump real
time to critique his lightweight opponents.
"...As a consequence, and I know this might sound odd to many people – but winning and/or losing elections becomes a secondary issue. The people who control the RNC as a private corporation are not focused on winning elections. The RNC corporation is focused on retaining mission control..."
I know this statement was about the RNC, but...birds of a feather and all that...made me think..."Who in the Republican Party do I view as being the epiotome of this mindset?"
The answer sprang to me unbidden: Mitch McConnell.
And then I thought: "In the 2020 election loss, who was the one person that seemed utterly not to care that he was no longer in the majority party?
Again: Mitch McConnell.
The RINO RHINIOEST of them all.
Sundance has a lot of well-formed insight into our political culture.
“”In the 2020 election loss, who was the one person that seemed utterly not to care that he was no longer in the majority party?”
But Mitch did care about winning reelection to his Senate seat in 2020. He sought and received Trump’s endorsement for his 2020 reelection campaign.

Wow! Is that a real picture of President Trump on a horse??
Not bad. Not bad.
But Mitch did care about winning reelection to his Senate seat in 2020. He sought and received Trump’s endorsement for his 2020 reelection campaign.

Then mitch turned around & ran up the white flag to surrender control of the senate to the dems.

to name a few the turdle would not support
there’s no list of organizations and/or individuals granted use of the seal at the link below as claimed by sundance:

Shades of Illinois with Alan Keyes and Obama - 2004
No support for Keyes and look what the Republicans wrought!
I love that. I'm going down to the Panama City Trump Store to find that on a t-shirt.
Bkmk
PING to Post #14, LG! :)
At this point Trump is a protest vote, because we aren’t voting our way out of this mess, period.
Well of course Trump supported him. That was my point.
In the context of the article, Sundance makes the point that they really don’t care if their side wins or loses nearly as much as long as THEY win and still have a place near the top of the Gravy Train where they can lap up the perks of being part of “The Club”.
Sure, he won’t be Number One in the Senate if it is controlled by the Democrats, but he will be Number Two. And being Number Two, where you are the second person in line to lap from the fruits of that slop trough is not much different for your personal wealth and the benefits you get from it than being Number One.
Not sure what Trump’s endorsement or non-endorsement has to do with the discussion.
That endorsement crap is just politics, and Trump had to learn as much as he could about “politics” in politics (vs “politics” in business) and when he had to, he took the advice of those around him, who we now know, served their master (the Deep State) and not him.
Not that even if Trump’s advisers were completely dedicated to serving his political interests could they have advised Trump to do anything other the fully support McConnell in his re-election.
What would they say to Trump? “McConnell has seven Republican challengers. Not a single one of them is polling above 2%, none of them has any experience and no chance to win, but we recommend you support one of those candidates who is MAGA.”
Of course not. They are going to say “McConnell has seven Republican challengers. Not a single one of them is polling above 2%, none of them has any experience and no chance to win, so you have to endorse McConnell if you want to get anything done. If you don’t endorse him, he is going to win anyway, and you will be a dead duck.”
Trump’s support for someone in McConnell’s position is just politics in the framework of the American political system, good or bad, and in this discussion of the Deep State, is a non-sequitur.
