Eat my ass you irredeemable cunt
he's such a brilliant business man, he really knows how to make a deal!
Trump to his own base every 5 minutes:
The dumbest of the dumb fall for this bullshit.
Ugh, god, the graphic design is terrible.
Probably the same reason scam emails have spelling mistakes, gotta connect to the IQ level or your desired target market.
They have a lot of boomers in their list.
These days? Any writing that doesn't feel sterilized and robotic gives me faith that it was written by a human being. But there are plenty of ways to achieve that without spelling and grammar errors.
The graphic design of MAGA will be studied at some point. I think it has the effect of looking like some “Everyman” did it themselves. Who’s to say whether this effect is intentional psyops or just the result of distancing themselves from people who actually practiced and studied an art, trade, or discipline, but this shit worked on a certain slice of the population pre-MAGA, too.
I think it's because following some actual principles of art theory is too liberal-coded, so it affirms that the digital equivalent of crayon scribbles by a drunk asshole is superior.
this looks like somebody intentionally tried to parody it
It looks like something that would install malware if you click the link...
I mean, they already have a rootkit, a few worms, and a half-dozen viruses running in their wetware. Why not go ahead and install a few crypto miners and some assorted malware on their PC?
It looks like early stage training data for spam filters
That is an intentional filtering mechanism commonly used by scammers.
Love how much this email looks and sounds like a generated way to steal people's personal information to scam them out of money. Not on the nose at all.
They sent shit like this all the time. This is a perfectly normal email from the Trump campaign and MAGA people get hundreds of things like this every day. Every single one of them is a scam, including this one. Trump isn't running for office, this isn't a campaign message. Its literally him extorting money paid to him as a private citizen using his role as president to threaten people.
Edit:
For example. Imagine if the county animal control boss sent you an email that said that you need to transfer money to his personal bank account or he is going to send some guys to your house to take your dogs. That is literally what Trump is doing here, but somehow its not illegal because its Trump doing it.
Its literally him extorting money paid to him as a private citizen using his role as president to threaten people.
That's criminally unserious.
He's been doing since his first term. That's part of how he gets so much money from the office.
What I've meant is going for donation email scam is laughable while being the pres and having no legal boundaries on real, massive corruption schemes. It is not uncaracteristic of him and his people, but it's the billionaire's version of ordering a fake coin trinket to never return the shop cart. I want to see it as a measurement to what these guys are, with their frame of thinking still being that small these petty little frauds are their character limit.
For sure. There is no scam that is too small to be worth his time. Look at all the dumb fake merch he sells like the watches and phones and shit. These are scams worth a couple hundred bucks. But a bottom feeder like Trump doesn't care.
I hope that if his supporters feel fear from this, they'll have some Introspection that he'll turn on even the people supporting him. Just like Hitler, no one is immune from turning against by the great dictator, the inner circle continues to get smaller and smaller until its just the dictator...
HIs supporters are afraid literally all the time, its the thing that keeps them engaged. They have 24/7 fear bait media coming in from all sides all the time. Fear and anger are all they can feel. This is no different, its the only thing they respond to at this point.
🤷♂️ here's to hoping it wakes some people up when the fear is about the very person they voted for and gave money to, not from liberals, trans people, homeless, etc etc. The nefarious "others". Their guy is the one making them feel fear now. Not from others but from him directly.
Sure. That will happen as soon as people stop going to church because the guy up front is the source of all their guilt and unhappiness too.
But they fear all the wrong things.
They fear exactly what they are told to fear by people who profit from them being afraid.
Fear and anger are all they can feel.
I dunno about that... some of em also feel their sisters and cousins
All they ever feel is fear. Never introspection.
You hope for introspection from Trump supporters? Have the last 10 years taught you nothing?
It looks like something out of geocities
A donating to Trump is a scam to begin with.
You clearly don't have shareholders of your own.
The chomo-in-chief was already sending out fundraising letters that were very threatening in tone as-is. They suggested that if you didn't give money you wouldn't be a redcap in good standing - implication being that would incur the wrath of the toddler in the WH.
Anyone getting this email is probably already trash.
That's not fundraising. That's called extortion.
I've always figured that was his eventual plan. Get rid of any opposition, then why not extort the idiots who supported you
"Bow to your God you worthless pieces of shit....! Talking about peace by the way, where's my prize..?"
Negative, I am meat popsicle.
Yeah, that’s sick. It’s also sick that Dems send out fundraising text messages immediately after someone gets killed. I’m tired of all the crassness.
