TRUMP-REAGAN FUNDRAISING COIN KERFUFFLEMeanwhile, a Trump fundraising effort has triggered a spat between the campaign and the Ronald Reagan foundation. -Editor President Trump lashed out at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute on Sunday following a report that it had requested the Trump campaign stop using President Reagan's name and image in fundraising. The organization made its request last week after the Trump campaign had sent an email asking for a donation of $45 or more to enter to receive a "limited edition” set of two gold-colored coins that had images of Trump and Reagan. Reagan Foundation Chief Marketing Officer Melissa Giller told The Hill Saturday that the RNC had used Reagan’s image "without our consent” despite the foundation owning the rights to it. Michael Ahrens, the RNC's communications director, told The Hill that the foundation had "just recently hosted the Trump family to raise money for its organization and has not objected to us using President Reagan’s likeness before." But he said the RNC will stop "emailing this fundraising solicitation as a courtesy."
