I happily voted for him twice for President, but I always have thought that he is a buffoon.
I'm getting tired of these anonymous sources like "Campaign types" "High placed Republicans" etc. I don't care. If it doesn't have a name attached to it, its fake. And good for Trump. He made the mistake of endorsing a lot of Back-stabbing assholes like Kemp, Romney, and Sasse. And all he got from them was vicious attacks. Let these RINO clowns win on their own.
I'm astounded how many people have to qualify there support for Trump. Its seems to be a class marker. The "Right sort" aren't supposed to vote for Trump. Too vulgar. Too populist. Too liked by truck drivers and the hoi polloi. Personally, I don't give a damn. I vote for politicians to do things. I'm not interested in whether they eat at MacDonald's or tweet.
Good.
He may be a public figure, and I'm no lawyer, but I can't imagine anyone can use his likeness to raise money.
I hope he bankrupts the RNC and anyone else involved with this.
You go guy! Backstabbing weasels want to feast off the political carcass. Vultures need a hot lead legal insertion into their wallets.
Trump says he's sticking with the Republican party, although part of the Republican party will take the money--but not the man.
The likes of Ben Sasse always want it both ways.
"Get out there yourself. Stop feeding off me!"
Good for him.
I've been inundated with donation requests since the election, all centered around President Trump.
Won't give a dime until I'm sure the money will go to candidates truly supportive of a national sovereignty agenda.
I made the mistake during the election of donating to Lindsey Graham-- "the left is targeting me" narrative. Turns out he won by 16 points, raised $108 million and still has nearly $13 million in his re-election account. You can't believe any of them.
I have noticed some of this in the many political emails I receive. I have quit giving to generic campaign recipients like the Republican Senate or Congressional organizations, even if they show Trump in their ad. I'll stick to giving to individual campaigns for now.
RNC, NRCC and NRSC; I know the RNC but have never heard of the other two; but I've been anticipating this, the Psuedo-Republican machine latching on to that sweet sweet brand identity. Trump is on the money, and this makes me think he's getting serious about '24. He's going to improve on what he did last time using Social Media and is ensuring that he and only he controls the message. Good for him. Ignore the spectacle; Focus on what he actually does. That's why I voted for him twice.
You can't start, or reform, a party, unless you determine who can promote your message. Trump is doing the right thing, and will have the support of the tens of millions that had their votes nullified by corruption.
The GOP abandoned everyone, except those that hob-nob with the politicians at the expensive gatherings, where they pat each other on the back, while explaining how their hedge-fund investments are returning an astronomical yield. They are parasites on those that produce, condemn the Dems, while making lucrative back door deals with the same Dems, and have abandoned the laws that apply to everyone else. They're just as bad as the Democrats, and support their actions by not being aggressive in destroying those that are traitors to the United States.
I would never give a dime to any Republican political organization. I only give directly to MAGA Candidates. For 2022, I have my checkbook ready to support anyone who primaries Lisa Murkey, Thune, Cheney, and some of the other traitors.
OK to call him the Former Guy I trust?
Trump was furious
That's not Trump's style. He's calculating zingers. Nobody good at high level insults gets mad.
"I've been inundated with donation requests since the election, all centered around President Trump."
I always write something snarky on the 'survey' with a Sharpie and send it back to them.
They're paying the postage after all : )
Good for Trump and F*ck those RINOS.

I'd love to have accounting for all that money that Graham spent. Where did that $95 million go to?
Good for him. NOW they want to use him to get votes when they HAPPILY let us all down when they believed the lies of the left wing nutjobs in the media.

***********************
To make it sting, put five or six pennies in the return envelope so they have to pay additional postage.
It's the best use of pennies I can think of.
from the article But privately GOP campaign types say it’s impossible not to use Trump’s name, as his policies are so popular with the base. If Trump really wants to help flip Congress, they argue he should be more generous. His team, however, sees this differently.
These "expletive deleted" GOP Rinos didn't stand up for Trump. Some of them deliberately and actively stabbed him in the metaphorical back. The refused to support him when the election has been obviously and blatantly stolen. They don't give a rat's ass about what the voters who elected Trump want. Screw the voters. They only care about what is in their own power hungry interests.
NOW???....NOW????!!!? they want to take the name of the man that they drug through the mud and use the goodwill that he generated with HIS base for their own money grubbing purposes?!?!?! The GOP will never get a red cent from me or my husband.

Couldn't have said better. The "I voted for Trump, but ... " crap is getting old. Like it's a badge of honor to support Trump but toss in a negative or two. I support Trump period. Anyone who has gone through what he's been through deserve my unqualified support.

Nail on the head. People of only above average intelligence, especially people trying and failing to justify their unearned elitism, have to identify rigidly with elite perceptions. Kevin Williamson, for instance, knows he's one bad column from being sent back to his trailer park. People with actually high intelligence and sufficient willpower have no problem understanding Trump's personality for the carefully developed (yet genuine) construct that it is. It's kayfabe as a lifestyle, and few commentators would even admit to be familiar with it, so they can avoid being labelled "low-class."
I still remember 2016 in Montana, a whole slate of R candidates at our fundraiser, and none would dare breathe his name. Looking at Steve Daines, Matt Rosendale and Greg Gianforte.
They were terrified.
Then a couple years later it was all Trump Trump Trump. Lmfao.

Does that statement reflect more on your judgement or on Trump?

People are still tribal animals.
One of the biggest fears a majority has is losing your tribal affiliation and castigation by your peers.
There are not many true leaders out there.
"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,” said a Trump adviser.
Quite right.
I'm getting tired of these anonymous sources like "Campaign types" "High placed Republicans" etc. I don't care. If it doesn't have a name attached to it, its fake.
Well, the article was written by two women, so Althouse assumes it's true.
This really makes me happy. I won’t give a penny to the national organizations as long as Cheney ( getting a fundraiser from the weasel Ryan ) and McConnell are in leadership positions, not one red cent.
And even though I like my current reps, they are getting the same message.
I am still getting inundated with emails and texts seeking money.
I treat them much as Calvin Coolidge did. He said most people who wanted to see him wanted something from him. He said his response was to say nothing back. After a while, he said, they run down but "If I say one word, they will start up all over again."
A woman at a dinner told him she had a bet she could make him say three words. His reply, "You lose." I say the same to the RINOs who abandoned Trump. I was skeptical about him in 2016 but not after he was elected and kept his promises in spite of everything.
Trump didn't just put his finger on the problem with the two party system.
He is putting forward a solid and effective solution.
I am hoping Sinema or Gabbard or some other personality can come in and delouse the democrat party.
But democrat voters are so limited.

I agree with the sentiment, but not the tactic. It amounts to aiding and abetting the other political party.
If the Trump brand was so toxic why does the GOP support network use it?
[P]rivately GOP campaign types say it’s impossible not to use Trump’s name... [and] he should be more generous....
For people who voted to impeach him?
Are they fucking nuts?
Good job, Trump!
Yeah, I won't give any support to any organization that gives support to any individual who voted to impeach Trump.
The charges were utter bullshit. if you voted for them, YOU are utter bullshit
Win/win for Democrats.
He sure has not learned to be a politician.
Trump is what brought me back to the polls. Not the party, but the polls. Romney, Ryan, McCain, Graham, all those clowns had me turned off to the party at 2012 and did a superb job of maintaining that status quo.
Trump didn't bring me in in 2016 because he was too much of an unknown for me, policy-wise. Though I wasn't thrilled with some of his policies in his first term, he had done more to achieve stated GOP policy objectives than the actual GOP has in the past 24 years. So he got my enthusiastic vote. Do not GAF about his personality, persona, or character.
I think those dullards finally realize how many people Trump brought on board with and back to the party, but until I see some real acts of contrition, reconciliation, and admissions, they won't get my vote again.
I'm not holding my breath.

You are responsible for how your name is used while you're alive. You can't do much about it after you're dead.
I'd understand if Trump were trying to get back at elite types who didn't support him or if he were trying to preserve his brand and royalties (he's got a lot of legal bills to pay), but it would be good if he were going make sure his name was used responsibly.
But you know, people may surprise you, but they don't change or grow, at least not when you want them to or because you want them to.
Political fundraising is a scam and both parties are participants.

Trump definitely isn't my kind of guy, but he was a surprising, and surprisingly effective, president. Disruptor of systems that were ripe for disruption, and more.
That said, no pol, not even talented amateurs like DJT, needs a thin dime from me. That's my policy for shamans, actors, and athletes too, who already have more thin dimes than I do, and boy does it make me feel good!

Everything wrong with the democrat party boiled down into 4 words.
"I happily voted for him twice for President, but I always have thought that he is a buffoon. "
what does that say about you?
Trump's not actually a Republican. Why in the world would he allow his name and likeness to be used by the party?
"Disruptor of systems that were ripe for disruption, and more.'
"and more = 500,000 dead and 10 million unemployed.

Watching golf, then the local news comes on. They were interviewing Ronna Romney, and asked her if Trump was still the leader of the republican party-
Answer: We believe the voters are the leaders of the party.
Q: Is he involved in decision making?
A: He never really was.

Mutaman said.."what does that say about you?"
That some people can tell the difference between a well meaning 'buffoon" who can still get things done, versus the evil clowns who are actively and LITERALLY trying to kill us and destroy the country.
Note: I don't think that Trump is a buffoon. he is a character. He wears a "character"/persona that has been honed over the years....as do we all. The entertaining jokester Trump at rallies. The ruthless businessman Trump. The personal Trump his friends and family see.
None of that matters. What matters is that he does what he says he does and that his methods get the results that WE want. WE WANT. What matters is that he loves this Country unlike 95% of the progressive/socialist Democrats who hate America, hate the Constitution that is in their way....and most important hate the PEOPLE who are impeding their march to totalitarian power.
Trump...or more aptly his populist philosophy enacted was, IMO, our last hope of survival. Unless things change and change soon...we are really quite fucked.

It's true, you and your MAGA ilk are doomed.
Why is Donald Trump in all caps?
Kevin Williamson, for instance, knows he's one bad column from being sent back to his trailer park. People with actually high intelligence and sufficient willpower have no problem understanding Trump's personality for the carefully developed (yet genuine) construct that it is. It's kayfabe as a lifestyle, and few commentators would even admit to be familiar with it, so they can avoid being labelled "low-class."
There's something wrong with Williamson, but it's not stupid.
I like the cut of that man's jib.
“Q: Is he involved in decision making?
A: He never really was.”
Oh boy, haha, no wonder he’s pissed off.
Yes. Vengeance on the backstabbers and liars and blob/deep state fuckers. Can't imagine a higher priority than that for his next phase.
Cut off the turtle's funds as soon as the group was identified as his. For a moment there I thought that after the Clintons and Soetoro guy that surely no lower, more corrupt life forms could be promoted from within the DNC. Lo and behold the Bidens, though outnumbered by their cretinous competitors, emerge. The Epsteins, Weinsteins, Swalwells, Maxwells, Menendezes and their cohorts outdone by senile pedo Joe and his smegma gargling son Hunter. The trolls here rejoice in their fortunes.

How to pass the legislation you promised the voters who elected you. Trump’s only legislative achievement was the same old standard Republican Establishment corporate tax cuts Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have wet dreams about.
"There's something wrong with Williamson, but it's not stupid."
Daddy issues and an unearned sense of superiority.
But mostly the daddy issues.
"It's true, you and your MAGA ilk are doomed."
You voted for a man with no political accomplishments after 47 years in office and who doesn't even know where he is. You voted for this man. You had to cheat to do it.
Now you stand there proudly in your short pants holding your participation trophy over your head and demand to be taken seriously.
You're a joke.
"a well meaning 'buffoon" who can still get things done"
yeah he got things done- 500,000 dead, approval rating in the toilet, impeached twice, loses re-election bid by 7 million votes.
Send him another check Sparky.
"What matters is that he loves this Country unlike 95% of the progressive/socialist Democrats who hate America..."
True enough, Democrats hate America. They're sure not shy when it comes to saying how crappy of a place they think it is.
Politicians belong to a party and try to help it succeed. Trump remains a businessman with an utterly transactional and selfish approach. He only tries to help himself and is so clumsy he even fails at that.
Williamson was desperate to get out of Lubbock. He doesn't want to go back and doesn't want to feel like his going to end up back there. So every little bit of what he takes for East Coast sophistication he holds with a vise grip.
His problem isn't smarts or stupidity. People pick sides and then use whatever brains and tools they have (and fail to use what they don't have) to defend the positions they've taken. More and more people lock themselves into their conceptual boxes or bubbles and don't venture outside them. If anything threatens their bubble and they don't just ignore it, there's always some argument or meme they can grab hold of to defend their bubble.
Trump isn't a party man, or he wouldn't have switched parties so often. That doesn't in itself mean that he's merely selfish or transactional. We need more people in politics who haven't enslaved themselves to a party, ideology or movement, but rather try to do what they think is right and good for the country.
It's a shame. He has a way with words. He and Jonah Goldberg lost the most to Trump derangement, really made a mess of their whole body of work.
So, now Rendering is attacking Trump for "not being a loyal Republican"?
What's it like, being completely devoid or morality, decency, or even intellectual consistency?
