Donald Trump has raised eyebrows once again after his campaign sent out a bizarre fundraising email asking supporters to chip in $15 to “help him get to heaven.”
The unusual request was part of a 24-hour blitz announced by the former President’s team in late August. The email, written in Trump’s name, combined religious overtones, references to past political triumphs, and a dramatic appeal for donations to bolster his latest campaign efforts.
“I want to try and get to Heaven,” read the subject line of the email, which has since circulated widely online. The body of the message recounted Trump’s political journey, citing his defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016, his economic record, and his survival of a recent assassination attempt as signs of divine purpose.
“This is our moment to show the world that we will NEVER back down, NEVER give an inch, and NEVER SURRENDER in our fight to save this country,” the email proclaimed. “That’s why I’ve launched a 24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ, and I’m asking everyone to chip in $15 to make it one for the record books!”
