Campaign aides said the rules are designed to protect donors who falsely believe they are contributing to Trump's campaign

Donald Trump is trying to bring into politics a phenomenon that’s taking off in college athletics: money for use of the former president’s name, image and likeness in campaign ads.

In a letter this week, the Trump presidential campaign asked all down-ballot GOP campaigns for at least a 5% cut of the money raised from advertising that features the party’s 2024 presumptive White House nominee.

“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.

    I understand perfectly well, you don’t need to keep repeating or pretending that the issue is that I don’t understand

    You literally said:

    My question was, why is that worse than what Trump is doing? Even if we posit without evidence that Biden is guaranteed to do exactly the same thing with it that Hillary did.

    So I took that as meaning I needed to repeat what I already explained because you didn’t understand…

    You keep asking me things that are explained in the articles you’re not reading.

    If the problem is me, take me out of the equation and just read the articles man.

      That comic is actually a really good illustration of how to use propagandistic framing (take a sensible thing and put it in the mouth of a character who’s dislikeable) – in this case, making it seem like “Sounds like you’re talking bollocks about something I care about, can you justify what you said?” is a rude thing to ask.

      (Edit: He edited the comment maybe? This is the comic which was part of the comment before he edited it)
