Attorneys for former President Donald Trump sent letters on Friday to the Republican National Committee and the other leading GOP organizations ordering them to stop using his name and image on fundraising emails and merchandise without his express permission.
The cease and desist notices were also sent to the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senate Committee, Politico first reported. The startling demand from a former president to his own party underscores the turmoil in a seriously fractured GOP.
Trump is reportedly furious that his name has or could be used to support Republicans who voted to impeach him. Ten GOP House members voted for impeachment, and seven GOP senators voted to convict him of inciting the violent Capitol attack on Jan 6.
What a forking child.

Even Better
MSNBC host Chris Hayes noticed something about Donald Trump’s new PAC, which the former president is urging supporters to donate to instead of other Republican causes.
“He explicitly told his supporters not to give money to anyone but him, telling the faithful to donate through his Save America PAC,” Hayes said on Tuesday. “That’s SAP, for short.”
Trump has been engaged in an increasingly nasty feud with GOP organizations over fundraising. Last week, his attorneys even sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Republican National Committee demanding that it stop using his name in fundraising messages.
The RNC said it would continue to market Trump, citing its First Amendment right to do so.
Trump fired back on Monday with a message urging supporters not to contribute to any cause but his own.
“No more money for RINOS,” he wrote. “They do nothing but hurt the Republican Party and our great voting base – they will never lead us to Greatness.”
Trump urged them to give to SAP instead.
Hayes said there’s really just one core issue for Trump: The former president “hates the notion anyone’s making money off of him and he’s not getting cut in.” Hayes called that a “huge neurosis” and predicted the increasingly ugly battle will only get more heated.
“He’s not going to sit back. There’s not gonna be any kind of permanent arrangement or truce here,” Hayes said. “This is going to be a constant source of tension for the RNC.”
Indeed, Trump on Tuesday released yet another statement saying he supports the party, “but I do not support RINOs and fools, and it is not their right to use my likeness or image to raise funds.”
Then Trump again urged supporters to give to SAP.

I really hope at some juncture Donny will come to terms and realize that he needs to shut up and relinquish everything presidential related and its implications. Also, for gosh sakes I really hope his die-hard supporters come to grips the next 3 years and not nominate him in 2024. This would almost in essence destroy the GOP that I knew and loved.

You go Alabama.......  The Alabama Republican Party presented former President Donald Trump with a framed copy of a resolution that lauds him as “one of the greatest” presidents in the nation’s history. |
