"Authorized by the Future President of the United States"



http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/the-internet-hilariously-brutalizes-trumps-tacky-new-fundraising-gimmick-gold-membership-cards/

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been so bad that many people have wondered if it’s not just an elaborate marketing stunt gone wrong.

Trump’s campaign offered more evidence for this theory on Tuesday afternoon, when it sent out a fundraiser email that offered donors a chance to get their very own gold “Donald J. Trump Gold Executive Membership Card” if they shell out cash to the campaign.

According to Trump, the card will signify to the world that you “are tired of a government that bows down to foreigners, refuses to even say the words ‘Radical Islam,’ and leaves our borders wide open!”

Twitter users, as they are prone to do, quickly mocked the idea of a Trump Gold Card as a gimmick that’s as tacky and worthless as the candidate himself. Some examples follow below:

analyst has to say about it. There's something really creepy about it. I'd never seen it before today. Jesus H Christ, that whole delusional "I alone can fix this" is so nauseating. He sounds like a two bit dictator wannabe. Sickening.

I've read he has conned at least 80 million dollars out of his 'subscribers'.

Look at pictures of the interiors of his houses. All decorated in gold furniture, gold paint, and gold accessories; like he wants to feel like he lives in Versailles. He even dyes his hair to match the upholstery. So now people can get a little gold card so they can feel like they're members of an exclusive club. Everything about him and his campaign is bizarre. On top of him being insane.
