“Non-profits can’t campaign against him...”

What does that mean? How/why does it stop them?

I think they’ll be facing issues with running issue ads against a political figure, maybe.

But it’s good to get Trump into the race again in 2020.

He’s off to a (great) start, will be very interested in how this plays out.

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone.

(sorry just got back online again)

They will lose their tax deductibility by engaging in political campaigning. If he weren’t a declared candidate, their activities would just be written off as “informational”.

It is illegal for non-profits to engage in advocacy-they pay no Income Taxes, and are therefore supposed to stay neutral, or lose their non-profit status.

I guess you could say it throws sand in the gears. I thought the article explained it pretty well.
