I got an email from “Team Trump” asking for money. Does anyone know who this is? I don’t trust SuperPacs.
I am only sending money via his own website.
Those emails are not coming from the Trump campaign. Remember that PACs cannot associate with candidates, so there is nothing Trump can do to stop it (PACs raising money in his name). I would treat that email like any other SPAM email and just delete it.
Trump won the nomination on a fraction of the money the other candidates spent. I believe he will run the general election the same way - maybe spending 1/10th the amount of Crooked Hillary.
It's the best advertisement for his candidacy that I can think of. If he runs his campaign lean and mean like this while getting results, imagine what he can do when he gets into the White House. We need that kind of attitude.
Trump reminds me in many ways of Harry Truman. Truman was also very careful about spending money and hated government corruption and waste. I think he slept in his car while campaigning so he didn't have to spend $5 on a hotel room (when he was running for senate). I know Trump won't go to that extreme but he's got the same kind of mentality. I remember a couple months ago, Trump stayed at a Marriott Courtyard or some such place on the campaign trail. As it was campaign money, he wasn't going to be frivolous with it.
Got the same email, dumped it in the trash. Suspect it came from Cruz’s list, and have no idea what they are using it for.
Might even have been Cruz, since it had the same “gotta have it by midnight” yapping.
I just checked the e-mails I got from Team Trump.
The original donation I made was on the link to his website. The reply I got back was from Team Trump, which, at the bottom of the e-mail, says it’s paid for by Donald J. Trump for President Inc.
Then the next “Team Trump” email I received asking for more $$ was paid for by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, which claims to be a joint fundraising effort between Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and the RNC, with an 80/20 split between the former and the latter.
