Is this for real? I find it hard to believe that Trump would want anyone to stop saying his name. I think his biggest fear is that people WILL stop talking about him. Maybe we should treat him like Voldemort, and call him "He who shall not be named".
They're using his name for fund raising, so he sees it as a licensing thing, just like those who put his name on their buildings. He want's his cut...noblepa wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 10:57 am Is this for real? I find it hard to believe that Trump would want anyone to stop saying his name.

Besides, if it is for real, can someone who is clearly a public figure do this? As despicable as he is, he is still newsworthy.
We reported yesterday that Trump was furious that his name has been bandied about by organizations that help Republicans who voted to impeach him — without his permission. Trump, who made his fortune in licensing, has always been sensitive to how his name has been used to fundraise and support members, even while in office.
On Friday, the RNC sent out two emails asking supporters to donate as a way to add their name to a “thank you” card for Trump. “President Trump will ALWAYS stand up for the American People, and I just thought of the perfect way for you to show that you support him!” the email states. “As one of President Trump’s MOST LOYAL supporters, I think that YOU, deserve the great honor of adding your name to the Official Trump ‘Thank You’ Card.” A follow-up email was sent hours later to “President Trump’s TOP supporters” warning of a deadline of 10 hours to get their names on the card.
None of the committees returned a request for comment. But privately GOP campaign types say it’s impossible not to use Trump’s name, as his policies are so popular with the base. If Trump really wants to help flip Congress, they argue he should be more generous. His team, however, sees this differently.
“President Trump remains committed to the Republican Party and electing America First conservatives, but that doesn’t give anyone - friend or foe - permission to use his likeness without explicit approval,” said a Trump adviser.
Even so, it seems to me that things are a little different for him, now that he is a former president and someone who wants to remain as head of the Republican party.Frater I*I wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:00 amThey're using his name for fund raising, so he sees it as a licensing thing, just like those who put his name on their buildings.

Has he thought this through? The more of a liability he becomes for the QOP the more some of the saner ones will decide that the cost-benefit analysis leads to cutting him loose.Volkonski wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:02 am Seems real.

The former president was born in Queens and rose to fame in Manhattan but changed his primary residence to Florida in 2019 and has been at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach since leaving Washington on 20 January.
After reports of a New York visit proliferated on Saturday, local station WABC-TV reported that police were preparing to increase security around Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. The New York police department did not comment.
Trump’s New York home was the subject of protests and a heavy police presence from the start of his run for the White House in summer 2015 through to the end of his term in office in the acrid aftermath of the 6 January Capitol attack.
