Trump Demands 5% Cut from GOP Candidates Using His Image for Fundraising

The former president's campaign enforces new guidelines to protect donor interests and ensure contributions flow directly to his committee.

Donald Trump's campaign has issued a directive requiring GOP candidates using his name or likeness in fundraising to remit 5% of proceeds.
The move aims to safeguard small-dollar donors from scams and ensure donations are correctly attributed to Trump's campaign.
Guidelines include prohibitions on impersonating Trump or speaking on his behalf without authorization.
Violations of these rules may lead to severed business relationships with the Trump National Committee JFC.
The policy reflects Trump's ongoing efforts to maximize fundraising as he trails behind President Biden in campaign contributions.
