MAGA fundraising emails have a long history of engaging in emotional blackmail through such tactics as implying to recipients that Donald Trump personally will be feeling let down if they don’t donate, so they better pony up in order to stay on the president’s good side.
A new email, unearthed this week by Meidas Touch, takes things even further.
“A new Trump fundraising email suggests supporters who do not respond to a donation appeal are no longer part of his movement,” Meidas Touch reports.
The email, purportedly from Trump, states in the subject line, “I’ve got a massive headache.” It goes on to claim that the recipient’s “Supporter Status Has Been Cancelled,” and that their “signature of support is MISSING.”

“The thought of losing you makes my head hurt,” “Trump says in the email, following that up with, “I know you would never intend to cancel your journey with the MAGA Movement and me.” It then redirects them to a donation page.
The advertisement is paid for by “Never Surrender, Inc,” which is a political action committee that is an on-paper successor to Trump’s 2024 election campaign. This raises the question of what the fundraising is for, when Trump is not able to ever run for president again.
The implication is that those who do not donate, right now, must not be part of the “MAGA movement” anymore.
Social media users had thoughts on this very presumptuous fundraising appeal.
