Trump Asks for $15 Donation in Eternal Destination Emai

I do not understand how these donations will help trump.

Donald Trump is once again invoking religion in his fundraising appeals, sending an email (once again) with the subject line “I want to try and get to Heaven.” The message frames his political career and survival of last year’s assassination attempt as evidence of divine intervention, declaring, “God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Mark 10:24-26
Amplified Bible
24 The disciples were amazed and bewildered by His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is [for those who place their hope and confidence in riches] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man [who places his faith in wealth or status] to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 They were completely and utterly astonished, and said to Him, “Then who can be saved [from the wrath of God]?”
