    As if his legal bills sucking money out of the RNC wasn't enough, Trump's Campaign is now "recommending" that anyone who uses his likeness in their campaign ads give 5% of their contributions to the Trump Campaign.

    And by "recommending" they mean threatening.

    Trump is just the gift (or grift) that just keeps on giving to the poor Pubs.

    Why am I not surprised? Trump was the first POTUS in American history to monetize the presidency while he was in office and now he is the first presidential candidate to monetize campaign contributions made to other candidates for office and besides he needs every dollar that he can get his hands on to pay his legal bills.

    I remember in 2016 he tried to sue his critics who made anti trump signs, saying his name was trademarked.... He's always been about the grift...
