Perhaps he sees it as a licensing issue?

POLITICO Playbook: Scoop: Trump sends legal notice to GOP to stop using his name

Politico said:
SCOOP: TRUMPS SENDS CEASE-AND-DESIST TO RNC, NRCC AND NRSC. Lawyers for former President DONALD TRUMP sent out cease-and-desist letters Friday to the three largest fundraising entities for the Republican Party — the RNC, NRCC and NRSC — for using his name and likeness on fundraising emails and merchandise, a Trump adviser tells Playbook.

We reported yesterday that Trump was furious that his name has been bandied about by organizations that help Republicans who voted to impeach him — without his permission. Trump, who made his fortune in licensing, has always been sensitive to how his name has been used to fundraise and support members, even while in office.

The "you can't have your cake and eat it too" saying comes to mind here.
Anybody can do that the correct saying is "You can't eat your cake and have it too."

He doesn't want people who have come against him now profit from his likeness. Seems reasonable to me.
Also to protect his reputation so that people can't use his name and likeness to promote improper activities.

Well the way the Republican Party has been doing things they have been throwing away cake and pretending that they ate it while Democrats have been raiding their trash cans and eating it.

Also to NOT help those who he helped to get reelected that turned on him again by their continued association with the Republican Party. If the party continues to allow disloyalty among their members and support them in campaigns then IF he does run again etc things will not improve and EO's can not solve the problems being created now.

Or, "I want the money for using my name to come to me, not you."

If that were the case, he would be going after damages or restitution, and not only from these places but from also those who hadn't turned against him. So, no, it's not like that at all.

Fundraising for the various GOP organizations hardly promotes improper activities. He objected to having people sign a virtual "Thank you" card to him (please donate generously!)

What damages? He is a public figure and the head of the National Republican Party. Why wouldn't they use his image or name for raising money?

If they turn their back on Trump... and vote with the Democrats against the Republican Party... YES.
No room for free thinking or independent thought within the GOP. Submit to Trump or forever be primaried.
