Former US President Donald Trump issued a statement asking his supporters to send money directly to the Political Action Committee "Save America" instead of donating to the Republican Party.
Trump issued a statement on Tuesday directing his supporters to send their money to the "Save America" committee instead of giving it to "Renews," an ironic abbreviation for "Republicans in name only."
"No more money for Republicans in name only, they do nothing but harm the Republican party and our great electoral base - they will never lead us to greatness," Trump said in the statement.
The British newspaper, The Independent, said the statement directs potential donors to Trump's personal website. Trump concluded his statement: "We will bring it back stronger than ever!"
The newspaper considered that the statement is the latest development in the dispute between Trump and the party, and on March 5, Trump's lawyers sent a letter to the Republican National Committee demanding that it “immediately stop and stop the unauthorized use of President Donald Jr. Trump's name and image in all fundraising operations. "
The party rejected the directive, saying it had "every right to refer to public figures while participating in the fundamental political discourse protected under the First Amendment" and that it "would continue to do so in pursuit of these common goals."
The dispute outlines a long-awaited question after Trump leaves the White House. Who is in charge of the Republican Party. Although Trump hinted at participating in the 2024 presidential election - he did not announce it.
Since then, Trump loyalists in the party have made it clear that they see the former president as the best path for the party going forward. His critics - such as Rep. Liz Cheney - have said they hope to see the party bypass "Trumpism."
