The Trump campaign never sleeps. Its supporters have been getting spammed up to every half an hour.
You think the election is over? That’s not the message Trump & Co. are sending to their supporters. They are continuing to fundraise and agitate, laying the ground for an extended challenge of the close results we are expecting in key states.
I’ve been on their spam list for over four years, ever since attending a couple rallies just before the last Presidential election. Here’s some of the messages that have showed up just in the past twelve hours. Who can resist “1000% matching for your donation?” Better ready your framing.
The battle has just begun: Trump heavily fundraising for election stealing.
(note that I am omitting the big red multiple Donate Now / specific dollar amount buttons in many of the messages and the box that tells me the 1000% match offer is “Activated”, as well as some bits at the end. De-linked for your safety and my privacy. All times PST)
6 AM, from 🚨 DEFEND THE ELECTION, with the subject line “🚨 ELECTION ALERT 🚨,” opening headline in red, no text, just a big graphic with donate buttons (right).
5 AM, from DonaldJTrump.com, “Don’t let the Democrats manipulate the results”:
Friend,
President Trump needs your help.
You’ve been there for him every step of the way these last few years. Anytime the Radical Left came after him, YOU have been there to defend him. We’re emailing you now to ask for you to step up ONE LAST TIME and DEFEND YOUR PRESIDENT!
It’s no secret the Democrats will try to STEAL this Election. They can’t stand the thought of America REJECTING their candidate, so they’ll do whatever it takes to manipulate the results.
We can’t let them get away with it. We need YOUR HELP to DEFEND the integrity of our Election. This is so critical that President Trump is giving YOU the opportunity to INCREASE your impact by 1000% if you step up RIGHT NOW.

What are the odds that they are really emailing “one last time?” ;-)
4 AM, from Mike Pence, “The stakes have never been higher”:
Friend,
We are going to have a great VICTORY.
The support for President Trump is UNMATCHED right now. The results are rolling in and we’re well on our way to WINNING BIG.
But, it’s only a matter of time before the Democrats try to steal the Election and manipulate the results. They’ve made it clear they’d rather destroy our Nation than have four more years of our President’s incredible leadership.
The stakes have never been higher, which is why I’m reaching out to you right now with an urgent request.
We need your help to ensure we have the proper resources to protect the results. The Left wants to undermine this Election, and we need YOU to FIGHT BACK!

3 AM, from Donald J. Trump, “The Democrats have lost control”:
Friend,
WOW. We are WINNING like no one thought possible right now.
Despite the numbers that are very obviously in favor of YOUR President, THE DEMOCRATS WILL TRY TO STEAL THIS ELECTION!
Just like I predicted from the start, mail-in ballots are leading to CHAOS like you've never seen, plain and simple! The Radical Left is going to do whatever it takes to try and rip a TRUMP-PENCE VICTORY away from you, and that’s why I’m coming to you now.
I need YOUR HELP to ensure we have the resources to protect the results. We can’t allow the Left-wing MOB to undermine our Election. I’m asking my fiercest and most loyal defenders, like YOU, to FIGHT BACK!

I warned the Nation this would happen. I knew the Democrats wouldn’t be able to accept another CRUSHING defeat, so now they’re trying to mess with the results. It’s madness!
I’m relying on your support right now more than I ever have before. Can I count on you to step up and FIGHT BACK?

WE JUST WON FLORIDA! We are looking GREAT all over the Country, but we can’t stop now. We still have a long way to go, and I’m relying on my BEST supporters, like YOU, to keep the momentum going.

I note that this idea that they are making a list that he is going to see and will be disappointed if you are not on it is a recurring theme throughout their campaign emails over the last four years.
7:30 and 9 PM, identical messages, both from Donald J. Trump, both with subject line “They’re not going to call the race”:
Friend,
This day has been HISTORIC. We are going to WIN and we are going to WIN BIG.
But, the Fake News media and their Democrat Partners will REFUSE to call the race. They will try to do whatever it takes to KEEP US FROM WINNING, and that’s why I need YOU to step up.
They don’t want another FOUR MORE YEARS of AMERICAN GREATNESS. They want to rip the power away from the people and put it in the hands of the DC Swamp. They don’t want YOU to be in control of YOUR Country anymore.
WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK!
You’ve defended me from every vicious LIE and attack coming from the Left-wing media and the Radical Democrats, and NOW I’m calling on YOU to defend me AGAIN. You’ve never let me down before, and I know you won’t now.

The Democrats cannot stand that MILLIONS of Americans from all over the Nation are voting for yours truly, all the while REJECTING their SOCIALIST candidate.

8 PM, DEFEND PRESIDENT TRUMP writes “Let’s finish this thing”:
Friend,
Wow. American Patriots, like YOU, showed up BIG TIME for President Trump.

7 PM, from Pence, “Help me and President Trump”:
Friend,
Despite obstruction from the Left at every turn, I’ve never regretted my decision to join President Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again. Together, we have:
- Lowered taxes for MILLIONS of Americans
- Defended the unborn
- Protected your religious liberties
- Prioritized our military and veterans
- Achieved PEACE DEALS in the Middle East
- And, we’ve put AMERICA FIRST!
I promise you, as long as President Trump is OUR President, he will NEVER stop fighting for YOU.
This is your opportunity to keep America America. What is done today will shape the future of this Nation for decades to come. President Trump is calling on YOU to step up and make sure we have the resources to WIN BIG.
For a short time, you can increase your impact by 1000% AND solidify your name in HISTORY as an Election Day Donor.
This is the turning point. Tonight will determine if our Nation continues down the path of freedom and opportunity, or spirals down the path of socialism and decline.
The President will see the names of EVERY Patriot who steps up TODAY. Will your name be on the list of 2020 Election Day Donors?
6:30 PM, from Donald J. Trump, “I will never stop fighting for you”:
Friend,
Election Day is finally here. The fate of our Nation is in your hands.
Today, the American People will decide if our Country will continue on the path to greatness, or if we’ll spiral into BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM at the hands of the Radical Left.
I need to make sure you know what’s at stake:
Joe Biden is the candidate of rioters, looters, arsonists, gun-grabbers, flag-burners, Marxists, lobbyists, and Left-wing RADICALS. I am the candidate of farmers, factory workers, police officers, and hard-working, law-abiding Patriots of every race, religion, and creed!
For decades, Joe Biden let other countries rip you off and cheat America blind. The only people who’ve benefited from his policies are himself and his family. He shows up every four years and then goes back to Washington and caters to his special interests.
My only special interest is YOU.
I want you to know that I will NEVER stop fighting for you. YOU are the reason we won in 2016, and YOU will be the reason we WIN AGAIN today.
When I wake up tomorrow after another HISTORIC VICTORY, I’m going to review a list of EVERY Patriot who stepped up TODAY. Will I see your name?
Please contribute ANY AMOUNT TODAY to become a 2020 Election Day Donor and to increase your impact by 1000%. »
I am standing up to the global special interests who got rich bleeding America dry. The corrupt establishment hates me because I don’t answer to THEM – I answer to YOU!
This is our chance to remind the Radical Left that THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY, NOT THEIRS. Don’t let me down.
5 PM, from Trump, “Will you go down in history?”:
Friend,
Today is the most important Election of our lifetime.
It is a stark choice between America and China. If Sleepy Joe wins, China wins. If we win, AMERICA WINS!
We cannot afford another four years of Obama-Biden era BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISM. If you vote for the Left, your kids will not be in school, there will be no graduations, no weddings, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas, and no Fourth of July.
If President Trump WINS, prosperity will surge, we’ll ERADICATE the coronavirus, and next year will be the greatest in the history of our Country.
Too much is on the line for you to sit this out. If you step up RIGHT NOW, not only will you go down in HISTORY as a 2020 Election Day Donor, but you can increase your impact by 1000%.
It actually looks like there were 20 more emails in the 24 hours before these, including from Eric & Don Junior, but I think you get the idea.
Why am I sharing all these? Because these ideas have been planted in the heads of the folks who will be part of making the on-the-ground decisions and taking active measures to prevent full counts in critical states. How we communicate with them and what we can do to convince others has to take this framing into account.
I got some threatening looks when I went to 2 Trump rallies 4 years ago to try to understand Trump supporters and get on these lists. Was it worth it?
