Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

A large number of minority people are likely on those mailing lists because they hate some other minority and supported Trump because of that. This could raise a lot from frightened haters, who made the mistake of thinking the enemy of those they hate was their friend, but know better now.

😧 This raises questions for me: 1) So, if you don't donate, ICE will come after you because you're a bad "American?"; 2) Why is President Trump still raising campaign donations? (He is ineligible to run for President again.) 3) In light of the recent murders is it ghoulish to be raising money now?

One cannot be both a “proud American patriot” at the same time as being a “MAGA Patriot”, the values of the two are mutually exclusive.

Ah, good thing for Herr Trump that he's got his own Gobbles in Miller. New breadths of evil, ready to show their depths!

Non-citizen permanent residents are legally allowed to donate to American political campaigns, but I guess Trump doesn't want their money. Which is fine with me; they'd have to be idiots to give it to him anyway.

This is deliberately aimed at elderly donors, who are routinely exploited by fundraising and charity fundraisers. This is a problem specifically for people with early dementia, who can't remember if they've donated and are susceptible to emotional manipulation.

It's also using tactics frequently used by scammers. It unfortunately causes elderly people to lose thousands and nobody may be aware someone is looking through finances. Then good luck getting that money back.

What this implies, despite their protestations to the contrary, is MAGA *also* understand ICE are violent, predacious, homicidal dirtbags, with no regard for laws, rather than the shining heroes of virtue they always poll them out to be...

Fill out my bullshit survey which includes sending me your money or I'll send ICE looking for you is a hell of a grift given their recent track record of murdering people. Yeah - I know they've been murdering people for years.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, The president of the United States is directly threatening to send ICE “to track you down” if you don’t give $$$ to Trump. Every person in the US Congress & Senate who is not actively moving to impeach & convict Trump must be viewed as an open, violent enemy of our Republic.

Your file says you're a [[Top MAGA Patriot]]... But my records to my survey STILL say [[RESPONSE PENDING]]. Don't tell me. You're an [[ILLEGAL ALIEN]]?!?

Good questions. I searched for text in the screenshot and found it's hosted by WinRed, a platform officially endorsed by the RNC, giving it surprisingly clear provenance. h__ps://secure.winred.com/trump-national-committee-jfc/lp-hf-rnc-email-2025-citizens-only-survey-v3

Philip I am an elder caregiver, in very rural very red Colorado. All of my clients are veterans in their mid to late '80s or older. Every single one of them, believe with their whole being, that they are having an actual conversation with Donald Trump in these emails. Every one of them.

Firstly, I appreciate what you do. Your profession is not an easy one. Secondly, thank you for doing what you do to help them when they need help. Not everyone has someone like you.

I just want to say, that responses like this will get you instantly blocked. I will never disparage 85-101 year old military veterans, that have been fleeced by a con man, praying upon their patriotic dedication. And no one else should. And the coward blocked all replies. Block.

I mean.. that still puts their military service in the 60s.. and if you didn’t have your jingoism tortured out of you in Korea and Vietnam, the gulf war… I dunno. I don’t think a lot of your morals

You seem really sweet and I’m glad those people have you to take care of them. But we do need to acknowledge they weren’t brainwashed out of nowhere. There were certainly prior bigotries that allowed this fear mongering to take hold. Feel free to block me, be assured I won’t mind I promise.

Ah apologies I hadn’t thought of or meant it like that of course ! I guess I’d presumed it’s easy enough for anyone to sign up for these themselves like the RFK ones

It is truly truly awful how much they believe all of the propaganda and lies, and that he is speaking directly to them in a one-on-one conversation. They even make phone calls with his recorded voice that, have the appropriate pauses in them, so they think that they're actually talking to him.

That's a demonic kinda thinking right there. Think of it, they're threatening their OWN supporters!! " Nice bank account you got there, be a shame if we couldn't get say half of it"

I think it is worse that this is almost certainly intended to be funny. The author was like if I give my fellow racists a chuckle about the racist wave of terror they might toss me a coin. Still very much demonic but this is like core Nazi stuff at its worst.

That’s what gets me. This is normal to them. It’s not that they enjoy being threatened or aren’t scared. It’s that, for them, this is how the world works. There is no such thing as power used responsibly to these people.

If you told me the time cube guy had sent this, I'd go and double check if he's dead like I think he is. Otherwise I'd immediately believe you.

Amazing that they think this is a good idea. Sure, probably a large number of those this is aimed at will think smugly about their superiority. (But those people probably already did the survey.) OTOH, a huge number have been trained by FOX to be constantly fearful. Surely they would recoil?

Gift from France, mayb they should ask 4 it back since trump & admin no longer want these ppl. The New Colossus" A poem by Emma Lazarus, written in 1883 "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free". The poem is etched in bronze on a plaque in the statue's pedestal.

It has the aesthetic of an email that should have “FW: fw: fw: fw: fw:…” in the subject line, and threaten to send ICE to you if you don’t forward this email to at least 5 people.

I maintain every Republican Call to Action sounds like a bully asking for your lunch money and every Democratic Call to Action sounds like they need to be talked off a ledge, which says something about what gets a response from their supporters.

I think the trump tactics wouldn't work on the average democrat. The reason we have clearly seen through his bs is we haven't tossed our critical thinking in the bin. We saw this con man ages before he ran for president. I guess that is part of being woke...

Not sure if you get any Democratic fundraising e-mails, but in place of "Trump reviewed his list of True Patriots and saw your name was not listed: are you not a True Patriot?" they instead say "we aren't going to make it; without your $5 we anticipate losing BIG in 2026."
