Here's a look at the fundraising email Trump sent out. It's like a 70s Ron Popeil infomercial.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/06/21/donald_trump_sends_first_fundraising_email_because_his_campaign_s_broke.html
Yesterday, the world learned the Donald Trump campaign is running for president on fumes. Whether you chalk it up to inexperience, inattention, or self-sabotage, the Trump campaign was alarmingly close to having zero dollars at the end of May, according to the campaign FEC filing. To make matters worse, Team Trump hadn’t bothered to raise much either. So Trump did what any good politician would do (and probably would have done sooner): He started asking people for money.
On Tuesday, the Trump campaign sent, what it’s describing as its first fundraising email. As such, the subject line reads: “The first one.” “That's right. The FIRST ONE,” the email goes on to enthuse. Boom. Trump’s in it to win it and he’s going to be ponying up some cash too. “I'm going to help make it the most successful introductory fundraising email in modern political history by personally matching every dollar that comes in WITHIN THE NEXT 48 HOURS…”*
* “…up to $2 million!”

And in the spirit of context for our younger DUers, this was an actual Ron Popeil product, one that Trump might find useful:

Because you know you'd be much more apt to reach deep into your pockets if he started the email with "Dear Underpants" rather than "Dear Fellow American Who Wishes To Make It Great Again."
