Trump targets Reagan Foundation after issues over ex-president's likeness

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Washington — President Trump lashed out at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute and Fox News on Sunday after the presidential foundation requested his campaign and the Republican National Committee stop using former President Ronald Reagan's likeness to fundraise.

"So the Washington Post is running the Reagan Foundation, and RINO Paul Ryan is on the Board of Fox, which has been terrible," Mr. Trump tweeted. "We will win anyway, even with the phony @FoxNews suppression polls (which have been seriously wrong for 5 years)!"

The chairman of the Reagan Foundation's board of trustees, Frederick Ryan, also serves as publisher and CEO of the Washington Post, and Paul Ryan, the former speaker of the House, is a board member of the Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News. On Friday, Fox News released a poll showing Mr. Trump trailing Biden in Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.

Mr. Trump also appeared to be responding to news the Reagan Foundation called the Republican National Committee last week after a fundraising email from the joint fundraising committee of the Trump campaign and RNC offered commemorative coin sets to donors, which featured one coin engraved with Reagan's image and a second with Mr. Trump's image, according to the Washington Post. The Reagan Foundation asked the RNC to stop sales of the coins.

Way to go Trump. See who else you can offend.

1. So Grifter Con is upset that he can't profit off Reagan's image

What a shameless vulgar low-life!

2. Please...

Let Trump give Reagan a nasty nickname, like Alzheimer's Ronnie. Let him challenge Reagan to take the cognitive test. Let him blame Reagan for Covid 19.

8. Yes. Keep the Trump-Reagan link top-of-mind.

Reagan is the horse's ass Trump rode in on. May they both be vilified for all of history.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. The Pig scolds people and organizations like he thinks they are desperate for his approval...

and if he insults or threatens them they will start lying and scamming for him.

4. Great choice Trump.

Go after Reagan. That will do WONDERS for your soft Republican support - actual conservatives revere the guy, while your base probably has no idea who he was.

5. HA! Ain't no "20 mule team Borax"

gonna' clean up THAT shit-stain!!!

Gotta' love it - he's picking fights with just about everybody in the room! If this isn't proof that he's gone over the edge, well, it's time for him to do another "outstanding - you're the best - I can't believe you did that' test!

6. Just keep burning bridges, Donnie!

7. Soon as the Dotard was selected he scrubbed Ronnie off all things Republican.

For forty years there was a moment of silence as Reps.spoke of Reagan. But not after the GOP became the Party of the Dotard.

And now that he needs all the help he can get there's no love for him and Ronnie's fans.
Boo fucking hoo.

9. Trump didn't say he'd stop using Regan's image, only that he's pissed they'd ask him to.

Maybe his constant anger will raise Fat Donnie's blood pressure so much that he'll have a stroke. One can only hope...
