Trump campaign: We're facing an emergency goal of $100,000

Washington (CNN)The Donald Trump campaign on Saturday released its first "emergency" fund-raising email, in response to an ad blitz from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

"Right now we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air. We need your contribution by 11:59 P.M. Tonight," the email from Team Trump said.

"Crooked Hillary is about to invade your TV with ads attacking Mr. Trump. But we're preparing to fight back," it reads.

The email promises to release ads attacking Clinton on her role in Benghazi, the integrity of her donors and reported FBI probing of her private email server while secretary of state.

...that he could sell.

In 2012, Rachel Maddow was convinced that Herman Cain was actually a conceptual artist playing the part of a candidate (becky-stan-stan). I think perhaps that *might* be the case with Otto the Orange. He's just too... surreal to take seriously.

A. Trump isn't invested in this campaign, not even he puts much stock in the idea of him winning.

And/or

B. Trump's whole campaign has been one last stand to convince the world that he is moneyed and in reality, he is quite broke. One last chance to live it up with the rich and powerful, to be the person whose ring you have to kiss, before the truth must be revealed. There are definitely some questions about his finances.

... and I laughed. $100,000? A mere 100 grand? The billionaire is begging for $100,000? Something is just not right about this plea for a mere hundred thousand for his campaign. Maybe it was a false flag? Just to see how many answers they would get, to test the strength of his "base."
