So I got an email from the Trump people.

I have no idea why. There was one question about job performance and I chose other which gave me a chance to elaborate.
I was great. I was both brutal and eloquent. I used words like "liar", "bigot" and "incompetent". I insulted his intelligence, his lack of ethics and the mentioned the truly horrible people in his administration. I wrote about the environment, our decline in world respect and the fear of getting us all killed.

I ended with the suggestion to remove me from their mailing list.

THEN I TRIED TO SEND MY REPLY. YOU COULD NOT CONTINUE UNLESS YOU DONATED AT LEAST $35.

I really wanted to send it but could not send money.

My husband asked that I only not make any overt threats.

entirely in favor of Trump. Only those who like him enough to send $35 will reply. Of course, I suppose you could send your $35 with your comments, and then have your credit card company remove the charge.

I get those too. My fav was the series beseeching me to send money so I could get on the Very Important Supporters list that was going to Donald Trump's desk that very evening!!!1!!!1 Like DT was going to read a list of everyone who $35 of their disability check and be so very grateful for the support! The man probably wipes his ass with $100 bills, judging from how much tax payer money he is willing to spend on his little golf trips. God they are gullible.
