Republicans have long used former President Donald Trump’s name and face to raise money from Republican voters.
Now Trump is taking tough action, asking campaigns to give him a 5 percent cut of any money raised this way.

The campaign is also asking Republican fundraisers not to impersonate Trump, suggest that donors are not loyal to Trump if they do not donate, or mention the Trump family without consent. his campaign.
“Any seller whose customers ignore the guidelines mentioned above will be held responsible for the actions of their customers,” the letter reads. “Repeated violations will result in suspension of seller’s business relationship with Trump National Committee JFC.”
Trump has long trailed President Joe Biden in fundraising, and the apparent crackdown could be an attempt to make up lost ground.
