Anyone else receiving emails from "Donald J Trump" lately?

[eleny]

My internet provider has been dumping them into the spam folder and I haven't opened any of them. But I've received about 4 or 5 in the past few days.

Subject headers like, "Have dinner on me".

I figured it might be the start of the Republican "Death Star" campaign. They've got over a billion to spend and have accumulated a lot of info on many voters.The plan is to spread disinformation.

3. Not yet. But I have been getting a lot of TrumpCare medical plan offers...

That's ridiculous, anyway. There is no TC med plan.

4. I've been getting text from them. wtf?

[eleny]

6. We can put an end to texts, can't we?

Replying with the word "stop" does that. I hope so. I've done that with t spam in the past and it's worked, so far.

9. Oh, right! Thx for the reminder

[Kurt V.]

[eleny]

11. What did it say?

I'm curious.

[Kurt V.]

[eleny]

16. Great story

Well researched and thorough.

There are a lot of folks on DU that could benefit from some skepticism about the things they read that they want to believe.
