Donald Trump has sent legal warnings to the three biggest fundraising entities for the Republican Party, ordering them to stop using his name and likeness on emails and merchandise, according to a new report.
Trump's lawyers sent the cease-and-desist letters on Friday to the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, and National Republican Senate Committee, a Trump advisor told Politico.
'President Trump remains committed to the Republican Party and electing America First conservatives, but that doesn't give anyone - friend or foe - permission to use his likeness without explicit approval,' the advisor said.

Good.
Those who voted to impeach knew the impeachment was a scam. They have no moral right to cash in on the name of the man they stabbed in the back.

Interesting. I wonder what the case law is on something like this. Clearly, politicians have virtually no protection from opposing politicians using their name in fundraising campaigns. Republicans use Biden’s and Pelosi’s name all the time and there’s nothing Biden and Pelosi can do about it.
But, can a political party/group use a politician’s name in a manner that either explicitly states or simply implies an endorsement when that politician hasn’t endorsed anyone?
My guess is they probably can, but I’m not sure.

the very definition of dilemna : the Republican Party, it needs to be disbanded and purged of the submissive liberals within who have been taking advantage of the election cheating system to stay in perpetual subpower, but there is no alternative

Extortion? I mean, if he donesn't get enough money, is he going to beahve differently in the legislative process? Pay me, or I won't oppose this radical agenda?
I can understand a lobbyist needing money, maybe to file lawsuits or maybe to lobby. But Mitch and hois party have the job.

An interesting insider note from Politico points out a tenuous albeit proactive position by President Donald Trump toward the institutional republican party and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
While the Politico outline is transparently positioned from the leftist narrative toward the chasm amid the establishment vs MAGA base of Trump supporters, the information -if accurate- does align with a forward looking President Trump positioning to confront the corporate wing of Republican elites.
The primary way President Trump can leverage, and ultimately defeat the DeceptiCons, will be through the financials.
President Trump has already announced the MAGA community should make political contributions through his Save America PAC. This approach will ensure his ability to fund MAGA candidates and target internal GOP adversaries for primary challenges.
The threat of targeted primary challenges was why Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy visited Trump in Mar-a-Lago, and it appears McCarthy’s pleas fell on deaf ears because a few days later President Trump announced the targets during his CPAC speech.
According to the article insiders, a second way President Trump will target the financial aspects will be to restrict the republican party from using his name in any manner except that expressly approved by him:
[…] “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.” … “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. (link)
The control over the political funding mechanisms, in combination with control over who can use the Trump name for fundraising, is a powerful position to take over the internal party apparatus. Combine the monetary control with a MAGA base who will not support any candidate President Trump does not endorse and there is a clear process to remove the DeceptiCons.

I wonder if Trump has access to the GOP database? When or if his team did, I hope one of them pulled a Seth Rich and downloaded it.

I think “case law” has been superceeded by “judicial opinion”

Until 2024, the only political entity I’ll give money to is a PAC created by Trump. The GOP candidates Trump endorses can get my money through him.
