I am utterly shocked that the guy who steals the copyrighted work of singers and actors at his emotional support rallies waited this long to start bilking the rubes over his image.

Maybe this is what Reynolds was saving that money she refused to use to feed our kids with for.

Seems like that could be a blessing for those in swing districts

Somebody just getting on the NIL bandwagon

Except Trump seems to believe he’s an asset to down-ballot candidates and not an albatross around the neck.

Whatever keeps that neck-vagina warm at night I guess.

He never misses an opportunity to grift.

He never misses an opportunity to grift.

ABG - always be grifting.

Maybe someone someday will quantify how much Trump made from honest legit work (net of losses), vs how much he made from grifting and screwing people over.

Pretty certain his "successful" endeavors (meaning most profitable for himself) are the ones where he screwed other people over.

Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump’s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations," it goes on.

It's pretty obvious Trump campaign is hurting for $$$.

Along with legal costs, you can see why they took over the RNC.

The fact that so many SuperPacs are diverting funding to down ballot Republicans means less for the Presidential candidate.
