I got an email from Donald Trump

Somehow I ended up on a right-wing email list. I never tried to opt-out because I like to waste their resources and keep an eye on what they are telling their anti-American followers.


So here is what Donald Trump asked of me today:

From: DonaldJTrump.com
To: Patriot
Sent: Monday, May 16, 2022, 03:27:05 PM EDT
Subject: TIME SENSITIVE

Patriot,

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO SAVE AMERICA:

President Trump requested $25 from you.

He needs your transaction in 10 MINS.

...

the rest is how to donate.


this criminal will never stop grifting

If they give you time to think it over, you might wiggle off the hook.
