The Resisterhood

First and foremost, it is NOT NORMAL. Obama filed for 2012 reelection in April 2011. Incumbent declaring before midterms is unheard of. /2

Several MAJOR implications. If officially a candidate, can use candidate status to curry favor with PACs, businesses, other organizations /3

Because he's acting as Trump the candidate, not Trump the president. Different rules apply. /4

Even more importantly - completely changes how non profits can handle him. 501c3's cannot "campaign" or risk losing nonprofit status. /5

It means they can't speak negatively about him. Imagine @PPact having to convey risk to #PlannedParenthood w/ limits on how to address. /6

This throws nonprofits' strategy for next few years into chaos. They must figure out how to work against Trump w/o "campaigning." /7

And further muddies the already swampy ethical waters of financial gain, #conflictsofinterest & business transactions. /8

@resisterhood @FEC Way around this-501-c-3 orgs ALWAYS refer to "The Ex. Branch" or "the White House" and NEVER EVER by him by name. EVER.

@sheisartmoney @resisterhood @FEC Someone added me to a Trump 2020 election Twitter page. He's already come up with his campaign slogan.

@sleep4_aweek @sheisartmoney Jesus. What is it? Will we even be alive then?

@resisterhood @sleep4_aweek @sheisartmoney And that, m'dear, is the question.. JFC we are in an Orwellian twilight zone merry-go-round

@KCRebel702 @resisterhood @sleep4_aweek @sheisartmoney I think for 2020 I heard it's "Keep America Great". Yeah. Really.

@BrendaJeanCDN @KCRebel702 @resisterhood @sheisartmoney Someone said his opponent should have "Make America Great Again" as their slogan

@sleep4_aweek @KCRebel702 @resisterhood @sheisartmoney Lol, it's so surreal! Add: Take America back! and Lock him up!
