Other than simply WANTING the MONEY, what "purpose" is served by Trump "fundraising?" He just keeps it all, right? [View all]

“I sent you a LOVE LETTER but I haven’t heard back,” reads a Saturday email from Trump’s team, part of a fundraising machine that has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars over the years.

“It’s Valentine’s Day! I love you, and I was pretty sure you loved me back! Is everything okay? Roses are red, violets are blue. Do you still love Trump, as I love you? Before you read my letter – do you still love me and our great movement?”

The fundraising email is one of thousands sent by Trump over the years to his supporters, many of which include odd or threatening language, such as a recent fundraising email in which donors were warned that they may be tracked down by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement unless they respond to a survey, a survey that directed supporters to a request for contributions.

Other Trump fundraising emails have been described as “creepy,” such as an email from last month in which Trump was described as sitting “alone and in the dark,” along with the usual request for contributions to Trump’s political action committee.
