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)
There’s a new sheriff in town…
He got trump elected. He just wasn’t great at chief of staff.
Republicans don’t read the voters in a state. They think every state is Alabama. Pennsyvania is perfect example especially in the governor’s race. They picked a guy who had no chance of winning over McCormick who has some warts but would have won and brought ridiculous pick Dr. Oz with him. But no. We had to go with the looney toons. Had republicans done a better job picking candidates, we may have had the majority in the senate and stopped the horrid judges going on the court in droves for Biden. Republicans are so frustrating. Read the voters in each state individually!!!!!!
I’ve been telling anyone who would listen this since 2015/16.
The people who support Trump/MAGA and the Republican base overlap, but they are NOT The same.
MAGA/Trump is far larger, and includes lots and lots of people who will never support the establishment GOP in any sort of major way.
Those pushing the electability argument are flat out ignoramuses... No establishmentGOP candidate is going to draw the support that Trump/MAGA does... None.
IF Trump can’t win a national general election none of the other Republican’s can, period.
The establishment believes that those folks Trump brought to the party are going to support them, and they just aren’t. They also believe the nevertrump part of the party is greater than the folks Trump brought on board.. Both are absolute false assumptions.
Trump is up 7, 7 against Biden in the Rust Belt states right now... let that sink in... Trump is up 7 points in the Rust Belt states.. No establishment GOP candidate will win this region, not a single one of them.
PA sadly has done nothing to fix the fraud the GOPe LEGISLATURE allowed and was complicit in creating for 2020, WI sadly did as well, but has done things to clean it up since 2020... MI is a wildcard from the fraud perspective. So we will see how it goes, but Trump is the ONLY candidate in this cycle that has any shot at a national victory and those saying otherwise, are either fools, or liars.
The sad reality is the establishment GOP is utterly out of touch with the electorate. Hopelessly out of touch. They are controlled by money men who’s interests are utterly divergent from your own... Go watch the Tucker mini interviews from a month or so back with all the candidates and it is completely obvious they don’t care about you or what is important to you... not a one of them.
This is a textbook example of ideological purity.
Love that, too.....a real standout.
Also true. :(
“Trump’s support for someone in McConnell’s position is just politics in the framework of the American political system, good or bad, . . .”
Yet McConnell and Ryan often spoke against Trump and worked to thwart his agenda, violating the Reagan’s 11th commandment, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
How many times in the last 3 years have Schumer, Pelosi, and Jeffries publicly and deliberately been highly critical of Biden’s personal behavior or policies? With McConnell during Trump’s presidency, public criticism was frequent as was backstabbing in the shadows.
More evidence the GOP leadership really doesn’t care if they win or lose?
What would have been the downside if Trump had not endorsed McConnell for reelection?
The downside is that McConnell would’ve been elected. Anyway, there is absolutely zero chance anyone else would’ve been elected, and Trump would’ve been handicap from the get go if he had won another term.
Thank you!
TFT material!
I hope the STORM that is about to wallop the Demonrats/RINOS drowns them all!
