11. Trump undercuts his own messaging by trying to fundraise off the border "crisis"

Oh well, Trump is personally fundraising for his Presidential campaign based on his speech.

President Donald Trump wants you to believe there’s a “National Security crisis” on the southern border. During his Rose Garden press conference last Friday, Trump justified shutting down the government over his desired border wall by saying, “This is national security we’re talking about — we’re not talking about games.”

But hours ahead of his primetime Oval Office address about the situation at the border and his wall, Trump’s campaign is also using the speech to try to raise $500,000 in a single day.

“Your safety is not a political game or negotiating tactic,” an email blast sent to potential donors says. “Please make a special contribution of $5 by 9 PM EST to our Official Secure the Border Fund to have your name sent to me after my speech.”

The fundraising email was shared on Twitter without any added commentary by George Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who has emerged as a prominent critic of the president.
