Trump Warns Supporters: Send Me Money or Democrats Will Steal It
A recent fundraising email from Donald Trump’s political action committee employed alarmist language, claiming Democrats would steal supporters’ tariff rebate checks to give them to “illegals” if they didn’t donate within an hour. The email, featuring a graphic of Trump and a boiling pot, framed the appeal as an urgent, year-end emergency and warned that everything would be lost without immediate action. This fundraising tactic comes as Trump flirts with the idea of sending Americans $2,000 funded by tariff revenue, a policy that economists have questioned and consumer-protection experts have warned could be exploited by fraudsters. The appeal also surfaces amid reports of growing frustration among some of Trump’s own supporters with his economic policies.
