14. Much of 45's "income" has come from licensing his name/image in exchange for financial return

I.e., where it might appear on a building or as part of the name of a resort or is associated with a product from a company that he doesn't actually own. I.e., the name/image is simply considered a "brand".

He's like a walking version of the movie "Idiocracy"'s "Brawndo".



No other Presidential candidate has ever insisted on retaining a "cut" from the money raised by down-ballot campaigns for actually tying themselves to the top of the ticket based on that person's "name" or "image".

If anything, the National Committees GIVE the down-ballot campaigns additional money to pad what they took in.
