True confessions of a 'Trump supporter' who just got donor-shamed by the president

November 26, 2020
By Ray Hartmann- Commentary

As one of the patriots receiving the Con-Artist-In-Chief’s daily blizzard of fundraising emails, I am able to offer some rare insight into what it’s like to let Dear Leader down. It isn’t pretty.

snip

"We pulled the records of his most LOYAL supporters – the ones who have been there for him no matter what. Unfortunately, your donor record showed up in the BOTTOM 1% of all Trump Supporters.

The use of Trump’s signature CAPS LOCK certainly added to the email’s air of authenticity. So did the hurtful reference to my being in the bottom 1 percent, which I believe to be the polar opposite of the percent that he cares about.

Next, the email laid out my own sad personal box score, listing my email address and the fact that I’ve been a donor since “not available.” Add that to my 2020 Campaign Cycle Gifts of $0 and my “Lifetime Total” of $0 and you can see why the big boss’ people might not be pleased.

“President Trump REALLY needs you right now. Why haven’t you stepped up?” I was scolded by the email. “ The truth is, we are pacing BEHIND our Election Defense Fund Goal. If we don’t do something quick, we risk LOSING America to BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISTS.”

It's an amusing read. The guilt trip Dear Leader sends his cult on is fascinating and pathetic.

BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISTS

They may force us into:

CLEAN AIR!
CLEAN WATER!
HEALTH CARE FOR EVERYONE!

Well, not in "our" America! Stand up and send money NOW. A small portion* will go to Rudy and our crack legal team.

*the rest will go to my tax lawyers, travel & entertainment, & golfing expenses....thanks a bunch!
