The Trump campaign and RNC tried to offer commemorative coins engraved with Reagan’s image to supporters.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute told the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee last week to stop using the former president’s image to fundraise, a blow to the party that considers Reagan a conservative hero.
The foundation is trying to figure out how many coin sets were sold and may take further legal action, according to the, RNC Communications Director Michael Ahrens said the request came as a surprise because the foundation “has not objected to us using President Reagan’s likeness before,” but said they “will stop emailing this fundraising solicitation as a courtesy.”Chief critic
Ahrens said the Reagan foundation “recently hosted the Trump family to raise money for its organization,” referring to a book signing eight months ago with Donald Trump Jr. for his book, “Triggered.” “President Reagan was a proud Republican and supporter of a party that has carried on his fight for conservative principles of economic opportunity and limited government. His likeness is used by thousands of Republicans each year who gather around the country for ‘Reagan Dinners,’ and his library regularly hosts debates for our presidential candidates,” he added.Trump’s campaign is struggling ahead of the November election.
