Help, Lounge! I need guidance! [View all]

I constantly get fundraising letters from political groups/candidates/parties (nearly all of the progressive Democratic persuasion). I donate what I can, when I can, to the ones I most favor. But today, I got something radically different!

** I got a fundraising letter from the Trump campaign! **

Specifically, the "Trump Make America Great Again Committee". In it was a letter from Donald, saying all the nice, friendly things he publicly says about Hillary Clinton, and how he wants my help to help him build a wall on the US-Mexican border (I thought he was going to get Mexico to pay for it, not me!), etc. And there is a survey for me to take, to indicate what issues I think are important, like picking conservative justices for the Supreme Court (UGH-lito.... !), banning Muslims from entering the US, etc. Or I can write in my own.

There is also a space where I can write a message to Donald and the Republican leadership (sounds like a bad '50s rock band...but I digress). My own message to the GOP brass.... .

And I got the usual postage-paid Business Reply envelope to return the survey and make my donation to Little Donny's campaign...

SOOOooooo--what to do, what to say? Ideas, Loungers? Can I attach the envelope to a brick and mail it, letting Donnie's club pay the extra postage? We might as well have some fun, it's Donnie's money! What message should I send to the GOPee poobahs by way of Donnie's fund-begging?
