'It's my money!' Trump is trying to shake down a pro-MAGA think tank for 'millions'

The America First Policy Institute is a pro-MAGA think tank whose aim is to craft policies around the political agenda of former President Donald Trump.
And, according to Rolling Stone, Trump believes that it owes him "millions" of dollars for supposedly making money using his branding.
According to the publication's sources, Trump has been fuming that the think tank has been raking in big checks and not giving him a cut of the action.
The report claims that Trump is particularly annoyed with Brooke Rollins, a former White House domestic policy aide who runs the think tank and whom Trump believes is becoming rich by sponging off his reputation.

I don't think he should be using the word "fumes" in the same sentence as "the Trump Administration." His fumes just went viral on X a few days ago.

Thanks again rda for posting these. I didn't see it, but heard on the teevee that he got fired up about Home Alone 2 and his cameo in it. Something really did set him off, I think those comments he was fired up about were made some years ago.

Dear Donald, how did you plan to "keep" the Iraqi oil? It is spread all over the coountry, not at one controllable point, did you expect to replace the US army by Blackwater mercenaries? How would you present the US to the world community of other (eg democratic) nations? Esppecially as you did fetreat from Afghanistan and leave back those $$$ billions of military hardware in a rushraison de arizona wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 6:58 pm tfg has been very chatty as of late, a sampling.

Why does Stephen Miller always look like the villian's lackey in a Bond movie? I am always expecting him to say "Please am I to be of helping" in a bad Russian accent.

It appears that the year was 2020, but media reports say Trump wasn't in attendance.

It was definitely year end 2020 with old white dude ice. Someone made a deep fake to insert tfg guy in there. You know it's fake because he is not pumping his tiny fists. I've heard of no musical act that performed for Hair Führer this NYEsugar magnolia wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 4:53 amIt appears that the year was 2020, but media reports say Trump wasn't in attendance.

USA Today: Green Day changes lyrics to shade Donald Trump during TV performance:
During a televised performance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, Green Day changed the lyrics in one of their most popular songs to criticize former President Donald Trump.
Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong altered “American Idiot” lyrics from "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda."
It’s not the first time the band has taken jabs against the politician. Their first major performance of the anti-MAGA version happened in 2019 at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, according to Billboard. Before that, at the 2016 American Music Awards, the band yelled "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" during a performance of the song "Bang Bang."
After Trump's indictment and mugshot in August, Green Day sold an “Ultimate Nimrod” shirt with the slang insult from their 1997 album cover over Trump's booking photo.
Green Day released the protest song “American Idiot” in 2004 as its first single from the album of the same name and takes aim at then-President George W. Bush, the Iraq war and American media.

Liz Cheney schools Trump over false claim Jan 6 committee evidence was destroyed
Final report and supporting materials are all available online
Oliver O'Connell New York

I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our privacy notice
Liz Cheney has responded to Donald Trump’s repeated false claims that she destroyed most of the evidence from the House select committee investigating the events leading up to the Capitol riot on 6 January 2021.
The former president alleges this was done to stop him from preparing a defence case for his upcoming federal election interference trial for the charges brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
That trial is still scheduled to begin on 4 March 2024 in Washington DC. Mr Trump continues to claim his actions are covered by presidential immunity and arguments will be heard on 9 January regarding that.
The former president made his most recent claim on the evening of 1 January, writing on Truth Social: “Why did American Disaster Liz Cheney, who suffers from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), and was defeated for Congress by the largest margin for a sitting Congressman or Congresswoman in the history of our Country, ILLEGALLY DELETE & DESTROY most of the evidence, and related items, from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits.”
Ms Cheney, perhaps one of Mr Trump’s fiercest critics in the Republican Party, responded on Tuesday morning (2 January), noting that the committee’s full 800+-page final report and all of its supporting materials are available online for anyone who wants them.

He does not care if anyone believes it or not. All he wants is for people to be talking about him. He will be throwing og bullshit for the next year just luke he has been doing for the last year. Its not like he has any money for advertising or will have people carrying his rallies live this time, or he is doing anything remotely interesting so all he has is saying outrageous shit so the news will mention him.Dave from down under wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 11:34 am All he wants is for the mob to believe it…

When you realise that not even he believes his shit, he is a lot easier to ignore.
Edit Actually, the response from everyone to his BS from now on should be "What a desperate cry for attention" or similar. And nothing else.

Would a lawyer discourage this kind of obvious falsehood? (Since he’s claiming they don’t have access.)
