    Trump campaign asks for cut of downballot candidates' fundraising when they use his name and likeness

    Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has found a new way to press for badly needed cash.

    In a letter received by Republican digital vendors this week, the Trump campaign is asking for down-ballot candidates who use his name, image and likeness in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.

    “Beginning tomorrow, 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. This includes but is not limited to sending to the house file, prospecting vendors, and advertising,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in the letter, which is dated April 15.

    They add: “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.”

    What a contrast between the 2 🤣.  

    He will never be a people's president.   Has no idea how to relate to the common folk. How long has he been in politics again?   Somebody needs to put him down.

    Maybe he can buy a gold toilet?

    well... yeah, pretty much.

    my father was a 'shop teacher' I saw it all firsthand.  it wasn't just college either... apparently we now have a bunch of unemployed $200k p/y IT people to worry about.  

    right @Bontz and @Matt?:thumbsup:

    the first generation Hmong refugee in our area did, they also had fantastic family values and strong sense of community.   the current younger generations have mostly acclimated to acting like every other entitled white person though. 

    Merika!  

    The Vietnamese bought most of the delapated multi family neighborhood homes in Lowell, MA and rehabbed them. They brought their families over eventually.

    We had a Cambodian husband and wife working for us and they both had 3 jobs. Full time with us and 2 part time jobs. Their proudest day was when they became US citizens. 
    Fuckin immigrants.

    Smartest thing I've seen you say....but there is still a housing shortage.

    There’s a root cause of it and my reason for it. The neighborhood I grew up in had about 30 families all parents living together in those homes. Today maybe 5 in the homes are married and the rest of them containing single parents whose spouses live elsewhere taking up scarce living spaces causing the housing shortage.

    are there no fixer-uppers in undesirable areas? 

    two things ruined that market imo, house flippers and the 'youth' don't know how to fix anything themselves.  

    dealing with renters in a multifamily complexes it's easy to quickly identify people who should be renters as many don't have a f'ng clue about maintenance, repair, remodeling, etc. of a home.

    IDK if it's the same where you are but we've raised a society of people incapable of doing very little for themselves.

    When your 30 years old and your paying someone to spray for mosquitoes your pretty much a namby pamby LOOZER.

    Like what a townhome or a condo?

    Townhomes are going for 1.2 million and condos for about 900K here.  The math doesn't work anyway you spin it.

    We are much worse than you, but your getting there too.

    The youth are screwed.

    Townhomes and condos are for lazy young people. Monthly dues run 350.00 a month and up.

    Buy a fixer upper and cut your own lawn and save paying your gym dues.
