There have been many tweets about Trump's lies.

But I have not yet seen any about the lies in his solicitation emails.

For some reason, I'm on his email database. I am not even American and I do not live in the US.

1/
Yet, I am told, in relation to some stupid competition for a Trump photo (no less):

"We’re only accepting 1,000 entries, but because you’re one of President Trump’s BEST supporters, we’re holding a spot open for you for 1 HOUR."
If I'm one of his best supporters, he's toast in November. Good riddance.

BTW, every email has a similar lie.

How dumb are his supporters?
And I've received another email this morning. More lies, but scary too.

4/
"This email is FOR PATRIOTS ONLY.

"You’ve been identified as one of President Trump’s fiercest and most loyal defenders, and according to your donor file, you’d make an excellent addition to the Trump Army."

5/
Remember - I am not American, I don't live in America and I've never contributed a penny to his campaign.

6/
But it gets worse. This is a blatant callout to his armed base.

7/
"The President wants YOU and every other member of our exclusive Trump Army to have something to identify yourselves with, and to let everyone know that YOU are the President’s first line of defense when it comes to fighting off the Liberal MOB."

8/
And offers to send me this military-themed hat:
This is what America can expect when Trump loses in November.
Just went back to my trash to find this one where I am called a TOP supporter

"There are a limited number of open spots on our Life Member Roster, but because you’re one of my TOP supporters, I’ve requested that YOUR invitation be made a priority."
In honor of Memorial Day tomorrow, I thought I’d continue my thread on Trump fundraising emails by reviewing those I have received this week.

/14
This week (starting last Monday), I have received 28 Trump fundraising/promotional emails:
Mon – 4
Tues – 5
Wed – 2
Thur – 4
Fri – 5
Sat – 5
Sun – 3 (so far!)

Content is, as always, excruciatingly painful. But one today, praising Hillary for raising money for Biden, seemed just weird:

HILLARY RAKES IN MILLIONS FOR BIDEN
“[Hillary Clinton] broke a record for a single event without Biden in attendance…”
- POLITICO, May 20, 2020

/16
One yesterday promoted the nonsense of OBAMAGATE.

It says:

"The President trusts what you think, Derek, which is why he’s asked us personally to reach out to you and get your thoughts on how he should proceed with handling the greatest HOAX of all time."

Personally! WOW!

/17
Another, in connection with some stupid certificate, says:

"My team just showed me the winning Trump Executive Membership Certificate that was voted on by the American People. It comes as no surprise that you picked the same one I did, Derek."

Of course, I didn’t pick!

/18
But here it is!
I’m told by Laura Trump that I get Trump merch at a discount for Memorial Day because she's "reaching out because President Trump has activated an exclusive discount for his most loyal supporters, like YOU".

WOW. DOUBLE WOW! His most loyal supporters, LIKE ME.

/20
Is he running against Obama?

"Obama is the most corrupt and incompetent president in United States history."

Then:

You’ve never let me down before, and I know you won’t start now. I expect to see your name on the list, Derek.

/21
Would even his supports think that this is true:

"I’ve only selected 100 Patriots in the entire Nation to join this prestigious club, and YOU are one of them."

(Remember I’m not even American, don't live in the US and have never donated to his campaign).

/22
Here's my favourite #omfg moment:

"For the first time EVER, we have launched Official Trump Coloring Books."

I assume it is Trump's favourite and only book.

(cont)

/23
I may not get one though:

"Since you’re one of President Trump’s top supporters, we’ve reserved one just for you. We can only hold your order for THREE HOURS before we will be forced to release it to someone on our waiting list."

Sadly I missed the deadline.

/24
That just covers the last four days.

I do not have the energy to even read the others.

Sorry.

PS - I had to miss out the offer of a Regan/Trump coin set. Wasn't going to mention it because my order is in 😂. I did, sadly, miss the coloring book.

/25
And here it is. The OFFICIAL TRUMP COLORING BOOK.
I'm sorry I have not been updating this thread, but to be honest, it is just a lot of the same. 3 or 4 times a day.

But today, I got SOMETHING SPECIAL!
My email said:

"We need your help. We have a HUGE surprise planned for President Trump, but we can’t pull it off without you.

The First Family wants to get a RECORD BREAKING 2 MILLION signatures from Patriots all across the Nations wishing the President a Happy Birthday."
How could I resist?

"When you sign the President’s ONLY Official Birthday Card, you can even leave a personal note for him to read."
And here's the special offer!

"Only 30 Patriots receive priority access to the President’s Birthday Card. If you sign in the NEXT HOUR, your name will be 1 of the 30 names he sees first."
Here's an honest question.

I keep receiving emails from Trump asking me to donate, usually within the hour (which gets extended), and my donation will be 500% matched.

Who is doing the matching? Is it even real?

Does anyone know?
I'm so excited this morning.

I received an email from Lara Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It invited me to enter a contest,
"Derek,

I need to ask you something.

Why haven’t you entered to win a chance to meet President Trump yet?

The President saw the list of Patriots who have already entered and he noticed that your name was MISSING."

THE PRESIDENT NOTICED MY NAME WAS MISSING!
"He asked me to reach out to you because he REALLY wants to meet you, Derek, and he can’t imagine having anyone else there with him."

WOW - I'm so flattered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget, if you win:
We’ll cover your flight
We’ll make sure you have a very nice place to stay
You’ll get to bring a guest of your choice
You’ll get VIP ACCESS
And, you’ll even get to take a photo together
You will get COVID-19

Well, actually I added that last one!
Off to enter the contest now. 😉😉😉
I have been ignoring most of the Trump emails.

But this one is hilarious.
"This was his FIRST Rally in over 3 months and over 10.1 MILLION viewers tuned in to watch - ABSOLUTELY HISTORIC."

Yes- a HISTORIC failure of monumental proportions.
"Despite failed efforts from radical protestors trying to BLOCK supporters from getting into the arena, President Trump loved being back with the American People. We showed them that THE SILENT MAJORITY IS STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE and, together, we will win FOUR MORE YEARS!"

HA
"The President will never let the Do Nothing Democrats’ LIES bring him down. He doesn’t care what THEY think, he only cares what YOU think."

"He doesn’t care what THEY think" - that's the best bit of all!
I haven't updated this thread in a while. The repetition becomes rather tiresome. But today's email was something special from Don. Jr.

"Derek,

I have HUGE news that I’m only sharing with our most trusted supporters.

cont/
I’ve written a new book titled, Liberal Privilege. It’s not yet available to order - in fact, it won’t be until next month - but, because you’ve always been such a loyal friend of my father’s, I’m going to do something special just for you.

cont/
For the NEXT HOUR: I’m giving you EARLY ACCESS so that you can get your HAND-SIGNED copy of Liberal Privilege before it even hits the shelves.

cont/
That’s right, Derek. All you have to do is make a contribution of $75 and I’ll send you a copy of my BRAND NEW book before ANYONE ELSE."

cont/
Just a reminder that I'm not American and have never lived in America.

But I am a "loyal friend of my fathers"!

So don't miss your chance folks. You are welcome to my copy.
