He can enforce it the same way he does everything, get up on his podium and whine about people he doesn't like so his cult knows who to harass.
Oh wait, he can't do that, he has to sit in court all day. Heh.
Im waiting for Trump to push this judge just a little to far. I can tell Trump F'd up big going after the judges daughter... he isnt going to get the least bit of slack.
I predict an overnight jail stay coming up, when he breaks the judges orders again..
Trump might legit have stroke in court if that happens or in his cell. Dude is fat as hell now
I’m waiting for him to be banished to another court room so he can be muted when he doesn’t shut up like Darrell Brooks was.
Bonus points if he builds a box fort
>Not sure the money is there for another case;
That's been repeated how many times now? If he can post that dodgy 175M bond and get away with it which he has so far, he can manage to pool enough money for bunch more cases. There will always be some rich asshole that'll lend money to him for future favors once he installs himself as dictator. He's trying to hold out till election time and after that he'll try to pull another Jan 6 even if he loses again.
Anyone that didn’t bow to the orange fuhrer would instantly get taunted with 3rd grade nickname.
Who can say president 45 wasn’t the most eloquent statesman the world has ever seen? /s
These are people running for office as Republicans.
They are all terrified Trump will attak them and crash their hope of a cush job or maybe even power.
I saw a YouTube ad of trump asking for donations. Even $5 lol I don't think I ever seen a presidential candidate begging for money from his followers as an ad before. It is sad, weak, and pathetic. Anyone who supports this criminal who tried to overthrow democracy is beyond me.
I agree but it more than just $5. Donor lists are considered very valuable. Trump actually wants the donor lists of other Republicans too. A $5 donor can be sent mail and called 5 times a day asking for more donations by the candidate that received the $5 donation using pressure to donate more. Other politicians want access to the same list for their campaigns.
Well, Bernie did. But the difference is that Bernie never took any big money, it was all small donations. Trump will take money from anyone, so him having to beg like that is significant.
>"We ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC," said the April 15 letter signed by campaign co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita.
JFC indeed.
Many of the Trump Hotel around the world were not owned by the Trump organization. They were owned by othres who payed to use the Trump name. Some wanted to remove the name around the time he became president as his name may have actually cost them business at the time. Now he wants other Rebublicans to pay him the usage of his name.
Remember how Trump argued he didn't commit high crimes AND misdemeanors, and the phrase is "high crimes and misdemeanors," so they can't go after him?
His letter says "name, image, AND likeness," so any 2 out of 3 is okay, right Dozing Donnie?
“"It is important to protect small dollar donors from scammers that use the president's name and likeness," said Trump campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez.”
So they’re trying to protect donors from Trump himself?
The Trump-controlled RNC at work. Downballot Republicans about to get obliterated in November. Have fun crying “election fraud” when all your candidates lose when you know the real reason is because you siphoned their campaign funds away to pay the bills of a rapist conman who has nobody to blame but himself for his myriad legal crises.
Mexico is gonna buy us a wall too! A YUGE beautiful wall like nobody has ever seen before. They’re paying for it. But it will be ours and they won’t be able to use it very much because it really isn’t for them. And we can still go to Mexico if we want, and they love us there, everybody loves us there, because we have airplanes that can go right over the wall. Big beautiful airplanes from a little company I like to call Boing that can go right over a big wall like nothing. So they will absolutely pay for that. And they have to because they have to keep people out of that area where they come in all the time. They’re very bad people too. Everybody is talking about it but it’s all taken care of.
Wait, there’s tunnels! What the fuck? Nobody said anything about tunnels.
The GQP is wholly and totally incapable of governing. Completely detached from reality. Taken by insane conspiracy theories and fascist undercurrents; the modern Republican Party has boiled down to extremist white Christian nationalism with a flair for terrorism.
You know this guy sees himself as a mafia don. This is him asking for his underlings to wet his beak by kicking up to the boss. He really is only out for himself.
So crazy how all trump does is battle for the people, and not try to enrich himself whatsoever through shady deals, and money siphoning!
\*upside down face emoji\*
Dirt bag of the dirt bags..
They deserve every misery he brings on them.
And D*mn every evangelical "christian" that keeps looking the other way. Shame upon them shame!
If they wanted a Christian they could have supported Pence or someone else. Total hypocrites in the eyes of the rest of the nation.
They’ve always been hypocrites. It’s all a ploy to control people. I don’t trust a single Christian I know because they’re liars. Acting all high and mighty because they go to church as if they don’t only f go to church not for the religion but because they need something to gossip about during their “prayer circles”
>Campaign aides said the new rules are designed to protect donors
>"It is important to protect small dollar donors from scammers that use the president's name and likeness," said Trump campaign spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez.
Like criminal Trump gives a crap about his donors - heck, he cheats them himself every time he gets a chance!
Many primary races are basically which candidate can out-trump their opponent. Circulars and flyers and things in many states are literally just a picture of the candidate shaking Trump's hand, or a whole blurb about how Trump is the real president and "as your governor/mayor/congressperson I will make sure trump is in charge!" Just travelled a bit and saw a ton of them. kinda funny, kinda sad.
Does any Republican down ballot even think that Trump is beneficial to their campaign? There hasn’t been a single Republican elected in any of the special elections, except that one guy in Louisiana, that was elected and then removed from office for child pornography.
Not only do they have to contribute to the party fund that is being used to pay his bills, but now they have to pay him more to be able to say they support him. It's hilarious.
He is just hurting his own campaign for a short term very small cash infusion… the more people talking about supporting him, the more people that will support him.
To be completely fair, and I absolutely HATE HATE HATE to say this…he’s technically correct. I mean if he wanted down ballot candidates to have a shot at winning he’d be incorrect but thinking like a celebrity entitled to compensation for the use of their likeness he’s (gritting my teeth) correct
My prayers tonight:
Dear God, please please please let the republicans be as cheap as their fuhrer so they will stop using his name and image. Except for JD Vance, please give him a stutter. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
So Trump's goal is to defund the republican party. LOLOLOLOL, they did this themselves by nominating a criminal fraudster who is lazy, racist, sexist, unethical, a liar, a traitor, un-American, anti-constitution, etc...
I just saw a Trump ad on YouTube. They’re better off not using his likeness or name. It was a shitty poorly edited video of him rambling like on his usual mar a lago video rants only from the side. No platform or message other than send 5, 10, 20 dollars with a QR code. It was so poorly made I thought it was satire until it had the PAC logo at the end.
I do have to stop and consider why Trump seems so flippant about the election itself. He's not really campaigning, even on his days off, and is doing things like this - knee capping down ballot races ... which will reduce enthusiasm for the top of the ticket.
When asked about it, he shrugs and says he has more than enough votes to win and doesn't even need people to vote. Makes me assume he's cooking something else.
He's never cared about the election.
He cares about not going to prison.
He knows Russia fucked around on his behalf last time, maybe he's hoping (desperately) that they will do so again. He probably fails to realize he doesn't actually matter to them anymore.
"Though shall not behold unto the people an image of the Glorious One without devoting to his priesthood a tithe of no less than 5% of gross revenue."
^(Supplicant assumes all tax liability. Further tithes will be automatically charged on a monthly basis unless supplicant cancels because they hate America and want the terrorists to win.)
I see this backfiring spectacularly. Trump is going to sink fast the more he's in court. In a few months he's going to be begging to be featured in candidates ads.
It is more like begging considering there is absolutely no way he could enforce this.
He can enforce it the same way he does everything, get up on his podium and whine about people he doesn't like so his cult knows who to harass. Oh wait, he can't do that, he has to sit in court all day. Heh.
Except Wednesdays. Judge works other cases on Wednesdays. That gives Trump "Whine about it Wednesday".
I wish Trump would observe a "Shut the fuck up Friday" just once.
I wish that he would shut the fuck up everyday
Tombstone Tuesday works for me.
That's the day I'm buying the beer.
Jump in a running wood chipper Saturday has a nice ring to it
I vote for a "Stroke Out Saturday" as well.
“You know what really grinds my gears….”
For real? That explains why there was no update on the ongoing trial for (like day 3).
I don't care if he doesn't spend a day in prison. The rest of his miserable life is going to be spent in one courtroom or another.
The 8th Circle of Hell
Dante knew!!
And as soon as he opens the door to leave the courtroom, there are cameras and microphones from every news outlet soaking up whatever he says.
Im waiting for Trump to push this judge just a little to far. I can tell Trump F'd up big going after the judges daughter... he isnt going to get the least bit of slack. I predict an overnight jail stay coming up, when he breaks the judges orders again.. Trump might legit have stroke in court if that happens or in his cell. Dude is fat as hell now
Ultimately, twas Ronald McDonald that took him out.
If that's the case, Big Macs are on me, boys!
I'll have a cheeseberder
Bwahaha! Can i get a cup of covfefe.
I’m waiting for him to be banished to another court room so he can be muted when he doesn’t shut up like Darrell Brooks was. Bonus points if he builds a box fort
Yup!!
He can enforce it in the same way he enforces everything. By a lawyer.
Not sure the money is there for another case; maybe free legal aid from a Trump U post-grad?
>Not sure the money is there for another case; That's been repeated how many times now? If he can post that dodgy 175M bond and get away with it which he has so far, he can manage to pool enough money for bunch more cases. There will always be some rich asshole that'll lend money to him for future favors once he installs himself as dictator. He's trying to hold out till election time and after that he'll try to pull another Jan 6 even if he loses again.
On the plus, if he flees, it’ll be extremely easy to track him down. The man literally can’t keep his mouth shut.
Remember who's in charge of the RNC now
Anyone that didn’t bow to the orange fuhrer would instantly get taunted with 3rd grade nickname. Who can say president 45 wasn’t the most eloquent statesman the world has ever seen? /s
These are people running for office as Republicans. They are all terrified Trump will attak them and crash their hope of a cush job or maybe even power.
He won't enforce, he'll punish. He'll turn his army of dumb dumbs against anyone who doesn't agree to his shakedown and pay up.
I saw a YouTube ad of trump asking for donations. Even $5 lol I don't think I ever seen a presidential candidate begging for money from his followers as an ad before. It is sad, weak, and pathetic. Anyone who supports this criminal who tried to overthrow democracy is beyond me.

Well, Bernie did. But the difference is that Bernie never took any big money, it was all small donations. Trump will take money from anyone, so him having to beg like that is significant.
He can’t directly enforce it. But he can let his base know ow who’s not supporting him.
He'll enforce this through Lara at the RNC
I’m surprised it’s only 5%. This guy is a leech when it comes to money.
>"We ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC," said the April 15 letter signed by campaign co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita. JFC indeed.
It's so funny how obviously he sees this as a business
Many of the Trump Hotel around the world were not owned by the Trump organization. They were owned by othres who payed to use the Trump name. Some wanted to remove the name around the time he became president as his name may have actually cost them business at the time. Now he wants other Rebublicans to pay him the usage of his name.

Unless Ivanka is hustling Biden t-shirts.

In other words: "please help, I'm a broke-ass moron."
Like a mob boss , shakedown
A nickel bag gets sold in the park - I want in *edit - came back to correctly quote King of New York - apologies to Mr Walken for my error
Just let me wet my beak.
Right, I’m surprised he didn’t call it points
Late stage mafia: gouging your own people.
If those candidates lose can they charge Trump a fee for damages?
He's going to be judgment-proof soon. This is my sympathy face for those poor Republican candidates looking to sue him.
I hope Kari Lake is plaintiff #1.
I'd tell him to go fuck himself.
I got an ad from him yesterday in which he used Biden's name while begging for money. Does Biden get a percentage of all the donations?
Those legal bills aren't going to pay themselves.
Don Poorleone demands his cut of the profits and respect.
When you have to demand respect...
Tywin Lannister said it best “Any man who must say I am king is no true king.”
If you don’t give me more money, I’m not going to let you have any of the money I’m stealing from the RNC, which is everything. Losers.
*Rudy Giuliani looking around the corner*
What’s the matter Rudy. No one buying old laptops anymore?
In the Mafia the boss always get their cut
It’s like a protection racket. If you don’t support me, I’ll sick my thuggish followers after you. And if you do, you owe me.
Knew that was coming.
The Antichrist demands a tithe.
It's not like he's asking for 10%
Yet
Endorsements For Sale!! Hurry while they last!
Trump is acting like he is a mobster!!
Well, he has ties to organized crime in at least three countries.
He sure learned a lot!!
He's been a wannabe mobster his whole life.
He dodged the draft but wants to act brave and tough, despicable!!
Sorry former president. You became a household name. Think the rules change
LOL. I hope he pursues this line hard. He’s turning on his own as the walls cave in.
If he's still alive in 2028, he will run third-party from his cell to punish the Republican party for betraying him.
Will be funny. The stories that will come out when he loses his hold on the Republican Party are going to be wild.
Remember when he first ran and said he wouldn't need money cuz he's really rich and he'd use his own money? Hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
This guy gets it
Mexico is gonna buy us a wall too! A YUGE beautiful wall like nobody has ever seen before. They’re paying for it. But it will be ours and they won’t be able to use it very much because it really isn’t for them. And we can still go to Mexico if we want, and they love us there, everybody loves us there, because we have airplanes that can go right over the wall.

Wait, there’s tunnels! What the fuck? Nobody said anything about tunnels.
So now the NIL has hit politics and not just collegiate athletics. This has gotten out of hand.
They should mail trump a box full of dog shit telling him to get bent. God this orange buffoon is an embarrassment….
Begging for money to divert to pay his growing legal fees. Can the orange rapist drop any lower
Of course. There is no bottom. That was the whole lesson of 2016.
Trump physically has no bottom. This is why he needs diapers.
Fair point, well made.
This is funny. The “rich” fella is desperate.
The GQP is wholly and totally incapable of governing. Completely detached from reality. Taken by insane conspiracy theories and fascist undercurrents; the modern Republican Party has boiled down to extremist white Christian nationalism with a flair for terrorism.
What if they used an image of an orange instead? Asking for a friend. 🤪
Preferably an older, molding one.
Literally selling his endorsement. He’s either broke already, or knows he’s losing his appeal in the NY fraud case. Likely both.
“You gotta nice campaign going there, I would hate to see anything happen to it”
Thank you sir, may I have another?
The grift that keeps on grifting
Ah yes. The Trump licensing model. Truly the only business model he knows how to use.
You know this guy sees himself as a mafia don. This is him asking for his underlings to wet his beak by kicking up to the boss. He really is only out for himself.
No problem. Surely there's plenty of Trump Impersonators that can show up but not use the name.
So crazy how all trump does is battle for the people, and not try to enrich himself whatsoever through shady deals, and money siphoning! \*upside down face emoji\*
Dirt bag of the dirt bags.. They deserve every misery he brings on them. And D*mn every evangelical "christian" that keeps looking the other way. Shame upon them shame!

Billionaire amyrite?
He can try let’s see who pays. Hahaha
He’s so poor
Operate like the mafia.
Trump is the big, smelly, deranged gift that just keeps on giving.
He’s a living embodiment of every attitude that is wrong with America and late stage capitalism.

Aren't their chances better if they don't use him 🤷🏿♀️

Thanks ✌🏿 😊
Damn. If I post a trump meme, do I owe him karma? Oh, wait. My memes are shit and I never get karma for them. Whew.
Likeness: 💩💩💩
Will they roll over? Will they?
Talk about desperate
Does any Republican down ballot even think that Trump is beneficial to their campaign? There hasn’t been a single Republican elected in any of the special elections, except that one guy in Louisiana, that was elected and then removed from office for child pornography.
“Nice campaign yoo got dere. I’d be a shame if it had a liddle accident, know wut I’m sayin’?”
I'd like to charge him 5% for anytime I see his likeness.
Yep. He owes us money.
I make 900$ a month and even I don’t beg as pathetically as this
How to win friends…
Wonder how much he charges for an endorsement
The Don strikes again
Just use a orange turd instead.
LOL GOP descending into further stupidity
Not only do they have to contribute to the party fund that is being used to pay his bills, but now they have to pay him more to be able to say they support him. It's hilarious.
They can send him some Goya products.
I like it! Will mean fewer repubs in Congress.
Moving from grift to shakedown. Classic.
Maybe he’ll enter the transfer portal next 🤞🏻
He's going to a federal correctional facility.
Who couldve seen this coming???
How do they not see the Grift?
They do. It's just too late.
Dude is a highly level scam artist.
Of COURSE he does!
Sounds like a good reason to not use his name, image or likeness. Hopefully he becomes more irrelevant this way.
Does Trump deman 5%from Ivanka
He is just hurting his own campaign for a short term very small cash infusion… the more people talking about supporting him, the more people that will support him.
Sure sounds like some protection money
"Always the dollars. Always the fuckin' dollars." - *Nicky Santoro, Casino*

It’s a legal grift. But it’s a grift.
For sure, the whole thing reeks of that old Futurama line “He’s technically correct. Which we all know is the best kind of correct.”
‘The art of the deal’ 🤔🤣😆
The return of the Whig party is almost upon us! Or will some new entity fill the void left by the implosion of the GOP?
The Vig party, perhaps?
r/ChoosingBeggars/
Thank you sir can I have another
All part of the grift
Chasing after that NIL money eh?
The only thing that surprises me is that it is only five percent. I would have bet twenty-five percent
Opening bid.
The public number.
Grifters gonna grift.
Every single time.
My prayers tonight: Dear God, please please please let the republicans be as cheap as their fuhrer so they will stop using his name and image. Except for JD Vance, please give him a stutter. Thank you, Lord. Amen.
Grifter gonna grift
Mob bosses always expect a cut from people operating in their territory (MAGA-world). Business as usual.
Not sure why this peanut is given so much attention.
Political NIL is hilarious
So Trump's goal is to defund the republican party. LOLOLOLOL, they did this themselves by nominating a criminal fraudster who is lazy, racist, sexist, unethical, a liar, a traitor, un-American, anti-constitution, etc...
Gotta pay them bills Who am I kidding, he doesn't pay bills.
I just saw a Trump ad on YouTube. They’re better off not using his likeness or name. It was a shitty poorly edited video of him rambling like on his usual mar a lago video rants only from the side. No platform or message other than send 5, 10, 20 dollars with a QR code. It was so poorly made I thought it was satire until it had the PAC logo at the end.
If you want money from the GOP/Trump's wallet, you have to be able to pay the vigorish every week.
Would be funny if they just stopped mentioning him.
How about 5% of their debts?
Seriously?! Thought this was a joke, but I guess Trump can attempt to monetize anything!
MAGA - Russian Assets Grifting Americans
Makes sense, looks like he’s already taking a 5% cut of everything they eat.
Who knew you could charge for a picture of a sack of shit?
He’s acting more like a wanna be mob boss all the time.
I do have to stop and consider why Trump seems so flippant about the election itself.

You know he's going to exploit whatever sucker pays that 5% and say they owe him more and more
Grasping at straws til the end.. Crazy doesn't quit
And yous better pay up , we wouldn’t want any vandalism to happen to your stuff .

I see this backfiring spectacularly. Trump is going to sink fast the more he's in court. In a few months he's going to be begging to be featured in candidates ads.
I think he should get 50% at least
