Trump campaign: We're facing an emergency goal of $100,000
CNN Politics ^ | June 18, 2016 | Eugene Scott

Posted on 06/18/2016 3:56:58 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The Donald Trump campaign on Saturday released its first "emergency" fund-raising email, in response to an ad blitz from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

"Right now we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air. We need your contribution by 11:59 P.M. Tonight," the email from Team Trump said.

"Crooked Hillary is about to invade your TV with ads attacking Mr. Trump. But we're preparing to fight back," it reads.

The email promises to release ads attacking Clinton on her role in Benghazi, the integrity of her donors and reported FBI probing of her private email server while secretary of state.

The urgent fundraising email is routine for most presidential campaigns. But it's particularly notable since Trump insisted repeatedly during the GOP primary season that he was self-funding his campaign, only to start asking for donations later on.

Republican officials and activists are increasingly concerned that Trump is underestimating the fundraising challenge ahead as he faces off against Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee....

as I didn't intend to be a entry on his Web site.

Once again, you are assuming too much. You need prove that it is Trump's website.

Please provide the LINK, and let us evaluate it. I doubt it is a "Trump" controlled site. You can just post the header.

Mr. Trump would ask directly! %100k is pocket change in comparison to what Hillary's advocates will spend.

Well here you go, the 8 or so links were purposely not converted because all of them exposed personal data of one type or another.


XXXXXX,

When I first announced my candidacy, I told you together we could Make America Great Again. I am committed to that and will do everything I can to make this happen.

Unfortunately, time after time the media twists my words and tries to use them against me. They are comfortable with the status quo. They like their ability to determine what matters and what doesn’t matter. And they like controlling our elected leaders. I want to promise you something, regardless of what they say or write about me, I will not cower to the media elite or anyone else. I will keep fighting to Make America Great Again.

The fact is we can’t afford to keep on going as we have been going. America simply cannot afford it. We are $19 trillion in debt. Our so-called allies take advantage of us every chance they get. We do not have secure borders. We do not take care of our Veterans. Our tax code is a disaster. Politicians in Washington have failed us.

When I am elected we’re going to be tough, smart and we’re going to do things right. I just have one request; will you stand with me as I continue the fight?

MAKE AN IMMEDIATE CONTRIBUTION:
CONTRIBUTE $25 NOW >>>
CONTRIBUTE $45 NOW >>>
CONTRIBUTE $75 NOW >>>
CONTRIBUTE $100 NOW >>>
CONTRIBUTE $250 NOW >>>
CONTRIBUTE ANOTHER AMOUNT >>>

Your support will go a long way in helping me take on everyone who doubts us. We will ensure every parent can raise his or her children in peace and safety. We will make America rich again. We will make America safe again. We will make America great again. Join me in this flight!

Thank you for your support!

Donald J. Trump

CONTRIBUTE NOW >>>

The tone of the letter does sound rather bogus if it were Trump’s words that they portend to be. Let’s us wait and see if you are the only one in the world that has received a email like this.

More like impersonations of Donald J Trump. Sure would like to see proof instead of gossip.

I have donated to Trump (twice) and to Ben Carson. I did not get the email.
I have never donated to Cruz.

Guaranteed the request is bogus!

That says more than one might think. The (ex?) Cruzers seem to be the only ones reporting on this.

“Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus announced the RNC and Donald J. Trump for President have entered into joint fundraising agreements (JFAs). * The agreements will allow the Donald J. Trump for President campaign to raise funds the national party will use to elect Republicans at all levels * this cycle.”

It’s from the RNC.
“allow the Donald J. Trump for President campaign to raise funds the national party will use “... cute way to put it LOL!

Sure would like to see the full details. Next thing we know we will see Trump entering into agreement with CNN, MSNBC, etc., to fund their airtime propaganda against him. Sounds nice, real nice.

The actual website for Team Trump 2016 shows a Dallas TX address as its headquarters...wonder if it is the same as any Cruz-connected address?

I have donated to Trump, but have never had a solicitation for funds. I notice your link says https://secure2
Whenever I’ve donated, the URL is always https://secure
With no numeral afterwards. I think that letter must be from the RNC.

I donate to Trump all of the time. His sight does not store ANY of my personal information or CC information. It has to be reentered every time.

It’s just a typical agreement between a Party and a candidate to share resources. The link goes into more detail if you read it.

That look like an internal issue on the same web site, basically a distinction without a difference. Just a different level of donation for a return contributor, which I am not.
