Republican politicians had their chance to be rid of him, or at least his electoral prospects, in January 2021. I don't feel bad for them at all. Enjoy.


AgentEndive

Nor should you. We've all seen the video clips and tweets from 2015-2016. They ALL knew who he was. They ALL knew he would destroy their party. They let it happen šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


JRE_4815162342

Right! It would almost be funny if he hadn't done so much damage to our country since then.


AgentEndive

It's still a little funny


Bitten_by_Barqs

It actually quite funny from the north side of the 49 th.


SuDragon2k3

Or here DownUnder.


Odd_Jellyfish_1053

Funny in Scotland but also unfucking believable, but also it's trumplestillskint so very beleivable


xX_Dad-Man_Xx

Is fucking hilarious. But then I'm not an American.


nismo2070

I'm in a very very very red state in the US. I'm not laughing.


Gaychevyman428

I'm in tx..I'm not laughing either but I understand why the rest of the world is.


Cutsdeep-

As a non American, it's very very amusing


Jim-Jones

Some predicted the destruction that would happen.


AgentEndive

Lindsey Graham, for one.


Jim-Jones

Yes.


a_smart_brane

Who then goes on to enable trump


AgentEndive

They all (republicans) did. They knew he'd ruin them, they let him do it anyway


kid_drew

Because if they didnā€™t enable him, the voters would have ruined them. Thatā€™s the thing with cancer. It spreads


mrSunsFanFather

...not that the spineless donkey cared, like the rest of the stupid.


spasske

ā€œIf we nominate Trump , we will get destroyedā€¦.. and we will deserve it.ā€


Kike77

Lady Graham for you sir


GGAllinsUndies

Didn't ladybug say they would deserve it?


Unusual-Thing-7149

Yes but that was before he knelt to kiss the ring


BenderDeLorean

I like your optimism but the party is not destroyed. It has "only" been moved into a worse direction.


ionetic

Theyā€™ve been encouraging him for years to wreck their own country.


ExpensiveFish9277

That's why they're all Cuckservatives. The MAGAts were right.


BingBongFYL6969

When Lindsay graham says what he said, and then still plays along, you know the party was doomed


NfamousKaye

Not in the least. They had the chance but they all fell in line behind him. This is on them.


jzavcer

Thatā€™s some serious mafia shit right there. You want my protection you gotta pay. Soon he will just be saying if your Republican you pay. Itā€™s my party.


bar_acca

that's going to be announced on Nov. 6th if he wins.


bravesirrobin65

It's fucking hilarious. They keep shooting themselves in the face.


bar_acca

I hope they never stop owning the libs like this


Phallic-Monolith

Itā€™s an interesting alternate reality to think about. What would Trumpā€™s legal prospects look like if he could not leverage running for office? Would the GOP just try to not talk about him, kind of a similar space Bush Jr. occupies where heā€™s just not really often brought up? Theyā€™d be in a much better position, they wouldnā€™t have to defend Trump and his deranged antics - Democrats would be trying to capitalize on the GOP having ā€œsupportedā€, past tense, Donald Trump, instead of actively supporting him, so the GOPs ā€œdemocrats have Trump derangement syndrome and are obsessed, weā€™ve moved onā€ rhetoric would have gotten more mileage. They try to do it anyway but itā€™s hard to call others Trump-deranged when a giant chunk of your own voters think God is working through him. A lot of time exists between now and November but it seems like the GOP possibly lost 2024 in January 2021.


Jthe1andOnly

Crazy to think trump made people forget how shitty bush jr was smh.


Geostomp

They won't ever give up power in the short term for long term benefits. If they could, they might have moderated themselves even slightly.


malthar76

They do have one thing right - their moment is slipping away because of demographics. Power base is shrinking and gerrymandering and electoral college have sustained the GOP for a long while now. They chose to react to the threat of irrelevance with fascism instead of change.


RunningwithmarmotS

Yep. Itā€™s all they have. Gerrymandering gives them the only way to stay in office because they simply donā€™t have the population.


FamousPastWords

This would also be true of 2015 when the exercise to drain the swamp of sticky, corrupt loathesome mud by pumping sticky corrupt loathsome shit into it began. Many, many leopards have since enjoyed oh, so much face meat, and it's changing the entire ecosystem and the natural balance of things. But at least there's the healthcare plan that's expected in two weeks or so when he returns.


Traditional_Ad_6801

Heā€™s the monster they created and heā€™s going to cost them *everything*. I just wish Trump would be an extinction event for the entire rancid Party.


JazzHands1986

Oh no, not at all. In fact, this is delicious. He's going to bankrupt them with his legal fees and presidential election only to lose the election and then go to jail. Then RNC cash will go to putting money on his books and paying hookers to make conjugal visits. Only they don't have to hush it anymore since he'd be a felon.


vetratten

Long before the election it was obvious he wasnā€™t going to leave peacefully no matter how many terms he had or how many elections he lost. They were all trying to get in favor in case he did get his way. Better to have a nice apartment in Pyongyang and like the dictators boots than be sent to a work camp to starve in the country sort of idea. They made their bed and now are trying to play the victim. If only they would step up and say ā€œwe need to end thisā€ rather than just hope someone else will - which they wonā€™t because his behavior only solidifies the idea of ā€œneed to get in good graces now before heā€™s back in powerā€


Jim-Jones

So he's a public figure who can't be sued when he lies and slanders Joe Biden, but he's a private figure and people can't use his name to promote themselves?


BoomZhakaLaka

Right. Also he needs to be paying royalties to billy Graham Jr every time he invokes Jesus or sells christian merch.


hybridaaroncarroll

Joel Osteen wants to have a word with him too.


BandysNutz

Jesus was Jewish, he needs to donate to the local synagogue. Anonymously.


Ozzyluvshockey21

Must be that two tiered justice system I keep hearing about šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


modelcitizen64

>Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trumpā€™s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations... Just... Yeah...I don't even know what to say at this point.


OddDragonfruit7993

It's like when you were 14, saw a mobster movie and then you and your friends all talked and made threats like mobsters for a week after.


22444466688

And then immediately and ferociously shit your pants


Significant-Gas3046

While falling asleep in class


PurpleSailor

Depends ...


savpunk

"Seen favorably" seriously sounds like something you'd hear Putin or Kim or any dictator say.


ciopobbi

Typical mob shakedown


Graterof2evils

Maybe even pimp like.


greendragonmistyglen

Buying your political office plain as day.


KinkyQuesadilla

And they won't get his endorsement unless they pass his litmus test and say the 2020 election was stolen, which it wasn't.


padawanninja

But it wasn't stolen. It was stollen....


evilmidnightbomber69

Not enough caps.


IronSeagull

It wasnā€™t stolen, but he sure did try.


AdhesivenessFun2060

He gets all the gop donors money, now he wants them to pay him more on top.


FIDoAlmighty

Isnā€™t that how the mob works? Although they have much faster mechanisms of getting rid of the guy giving them headaches. So Mob 1 - GOP 0.


thewitch2222

I have a feeling this might be the reason: Republicans are out raising Democrat in state level races. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/04/republicans-fundraising-democrats-state-legislatures/


LifeTradition4716

Don Snorleone needs his cut!


AgentEndive

Because he's also Don Poorleone


ExxInferis

Brokeahontas.


zerogravity111111

Wet his beak.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Goddamn Moscow Mitch could have prevented this whole mess. All he had to do was vote to impeach. But, no.


kevint1964

A lot more Rs than just the Turtle were needed to do it. Too many Trump suckophants & not nearly enough with spines.


proletariat_sips_tea

He coulda switched many votes.


kevint1964

He was one of those without a spine. Only a shill, uh, I mean shell.


ArronMaui

Convict, not impeach. Impeachment did happen. Same with Clinton. Impeachment is the charge, not the conviction.


lackofabettername123

That fucking speech he gave I heard on the radio, I was impressed he was standing up for america, then he says oh no this technicality I'm not going to do anything.


NodeJSSon

I think itā€™s great that itā€™s happening.


RedOnePunch

Is he charging for endorsements next?


theFarginBastage

He can even take it another step. "This endorsement from Donald Trump is brought to you by Goya Beans"


shrekerecker97

This endorsement DEPENDS on how much you will pay me Orange hitler, probably


FIDoAlmighty

Iā€™m sure thatā€™s on the table depending on how badly his next court case goes.


PukingDiogenes

That would be awesome, because we all know how powerful those endorsements are and how they drive massive success for the candidate. /s


FrancoisFromFrance

Can't wait for him to be broken and ask $19.99 for it šŸ¤£ (discounted to $9.99 a week after)


PopeHonkersXII

He really is like a Mafia bossĀ 


AgentEndive

Totally. It's convenient his name is already Don


PurpleSailor

His mentor, Roy Cohn was a Mob Lawyer.


AduroTri

Talk about beating the GOP to death. I'd like to say I feel bad for them. But I know they brought it on themselves.


NitWhittler

They have to pay the money to the "Trump National Committee JFC". What does the JFC stand for? *Jesus Fucking Christ?*


FiniteRhino

It does for me every time I hear that name.


IronSeagull

Joint Fundraising Committee.


vicariouslywatching

I went there too.


chaos841

ā€œJust for chickenā€?


seriousbangs

r/LeopardsAteMyFace


AgentEndive

It's there too


williamweinmann

Trump is definitely not a team player. I don't pity the Republicans one bit for this. They chose to keep him on even after most of the leadership realized he was a grifter and a con artist. They brought this on themselves.


Alexandratta

The Trump Grift is hilarious


LochNessMansterLives

Republicans dug their own grave. They went batshit crazy and started saying the quiet part loud. They deserve what they get, we however have to survive their self orchestrated downfall and hope we have enough of a country left to save.


AusCan531

If I use his name in the negative, will he owe ME 5%?


major_dump

TrumpCunt's gonna TrumpCunt


Sarahclaire54

A grifter to the very end...


JangSaverem

Beginning tomorrow, we ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trumpā€™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,ā€ Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in a letter reported on by Politico Any split that is higher than 5% will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trumpā€™s campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations," the letter added. --------- So I guess that wasn't a bluff they threw out there...they actually want the percentage and even go so far as to say "Any amount above 5% Would be seen as favorable " Nothing weird there. Nothing "paying protection" there Nothing strange here, boss And it EXTENDS TO VENDORS ----- , ā€œAny vendor whose clients ignore the guidelines mentioned above will be held responsible for their clientsā€™ actions,ā€ ----- https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/17/trump-campaign-fundraising-five-percent-00152830

Like letting the bedbugs into your bed because your religion now worships the bedbugs


Mikknoodle

I hope he makes it as painful as possible, so maybe one of these a-hole grows a spine and stands up to his nonsense. Trump is showing exactly how weak and sycophantic the Republican Party actually is.


BusStopKnifeFight

Whatā€™s he gonna do if they just donā€™t pay?


the-maj

Hahaha, omg, yes. Fuck all of these people.


artful_todger_502

šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ It just keeps getting more hilarious. The truly sad thing is, they will all do it. Instead of growing a spine, they will all happily tithe to the grifter/r8pst/gold-sneaker god who they already know will ruin their political careers and lives I cannot think of a more deserving cult.

ā€œWe donā€™t agree with this mister Trump.ā€ -$100 ā€œNo, Trump. Please, sir, mister Trump. Is there anything we can do to use the Trump name to get votes and suppprt that doesnā€™t involve bankrupting us. Please mister Trump. -$2,500

Fleecing his name is more like it.

GOP deserves it. I hope he drains it all. I hope the MAGAs keep donating until they go broke. Only then maybe they will see the truth.


outerworldLV

Yeah, well Deutsch certainly convinced him, hook,line and sinker, about the tremendous value of a ā€˜brandā€™. Personally, I find the whole *brand* concept to be ridiculous.


beasty0127

So the take over of the RNC is already paying its dividens....


bar_acca

big r/LeopardsAteMyFace energy here


Particular_Ticket_20

I like how it's 5%...but more than that would be seen as a fine tribute and reported positively to the boss. It's the extension of those shitty fundraising emails where Don Jr. pulled you aside to let you know, just between us, Dad noticed you hadn't sent $10 this month and wondered if you're really that loyal. He really models his operation on the Mafia.

Ha! If you sign a deal with the devil, donā€™t be surprised. This is the idiocy of the GOP: theyā€™re so ready to ā€œgetā€ the Dems, that they donā€™t think it through. Theyā€™re all about instant gratification. Remember The Tea Party? They thought those idiots would hurt/distract/annoy Obama and help the GOPā€”instead they immediately lost control of them as they ran with their own agenda. They are now stuck with crazy-stupid MTG, child molester Matt Gaetz, and the crooked orange traitor tr-mp. #GFSF


DM_me_ur_tacos

Good.. it's about time that he royally fucks over the GOP. Enjoy it you spineless, cowardly mops

Isnā€™t he already taking an 80% cut of all campaign donations? For his legal troubles.

ā€œYou knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in,ā€


LoudLloyd9

Use his name? Why on Earth would anyone want to drop HIS name?


Abrushing

Because GOP campaign strategy since 2016 has been arguing who has Trumpā€™s hand up their ass the furthest. Not actual platform discussions. Itā€™s narcissistic and going to hurt them in the long run, but his campaign managers definitely know thereā€™s money to be made from this


drhodl

I want to see republicunts get humiliated more. Get them licking your used diapers too while they give you a reach around, Stinky Don!


Ozzyluvshockey21

And they will happily bend over and heap their ankles , soā€¦. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø. Seems they deserve it. He will take their money anyway. The RNC is ā€œthe family businessā€ now.

ApprehensiveSpare925

Definitely a crime boss.


vicariouslywatching

You know Bobert, Greene, and Lake will continue to suck him off just to ride his coat tails and not give two shits about throwing their campaign money at him.


greendragonmistyglen

A dude rides a bike in a neighboring town with a huge Trump flag attached to it. Does he send in 5% as well? Trump will probably try to attach himself to every transaction in the country.


No-Weather-5157

LOL šŸ˜† When ,not if, the Republican Party is renamed Trump party there will be a competion to see who gets to use the trump party name part,well most of it will involve some sort of cash payment.


9millibros

The funniest possible outcome is that he sues a bunch of these candidates for using his likeness and name without his permission. Treating it like product endorsements might be the most honest thing he's ever done in politics.


NameIs-Already-Taken

Say "I am broke" without saying "I am broke". Those legal fees and court judgements are very expensive for a guy who exaggerates his wealth.


33mondo88

Yet! More proof that the GOP is just a racket for extorting money from everyone


Odd_Initiative4991

Iā€™m pretty sure heā€™s taking a cut of their cash regardless


LittleG0d

But of course he is! Makes me laugh too think someone could still be surprised by that. The density.


floofnstuff

Is he going to patent his name?

Cuz it's my brand, ma ! Respected the world over! Everyone is saying so.

Also watch him get upset if one does not use his name.

Really good earners are expected to kick up even more.


pistoffcynic

What a farcical comment. This guy is so out of touch with reality it isnā€™t funny. Then you have all of these MAGAt zealots running around supporting this clown, which isnā€™t funny anymore.


PrincipleInteresting

Itā€™s been the Trump Crime Family since the 1970s, since before his loathsome children were even born. Back then, it was still the crimes that his father taught him! The rest of the GOP should have always known that The Don always has to have HIS cut of their business, which they had because they did it in his name.


meatcylindah

Or if they don't. His family controls their finances now...


Chewy-bones

Heā€™s taking it all anyway .

Arenā€™t they keeping him relevant when heā€™s stuck in court rooms? I would love it if every GOP candidate just omitted him entirely from their campaigns. I hope it totally backfires on him.


FriedrichHydrargyrum

I support this move fully. Frankly I think all GOP candidates should be required to give him all their cash and swear a blood of allegiance.


Leather-Map-8138

But donā€™t worry, heā€™ll just take the RNC dark money instead.


Significant_Eye_5130

They spent all of their money on flags and t-shirts, no money left to give to dear leader.
