Never give a sucker an even break
By 
A couple of weeks ago I somehow ended up on Donald Trump’s Totally Personal and Private Secret Email List of his Biggest Supporters. Since then I’ve gotten dozens of messages like this:
Friend,
I emailed you.
My son Don emailed you.
The Trump Finance Team emailed you.
And now I’m emailing you. Again.
Each day, my team has given me a list of Patriots who stepped up to help us reach our End-of-Year Fundraising Goal, and each day, I’ve noticed YOUR NAME is STILL MISSING.
Our FINAL FEC Deadline of the year is at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT and NO supporter can sit out if we’re going to reach our goal and have the resources to WIN BIG in the Senate Runoff Election.
We don’t have time to waste. The Radical Left and Fake News media have made it clear that they will do whatever it takes to try to STEAL our Republican Senate Majority. We can STOP them, but I can’t do it without you.
I wouldn’t reach out unless I thought you could be one of the top 1% of all Trump supporters and save our nation.
This deadline is SO important that I’m giving YOU the opportunity to INCREASE your impact by 1000%.
1000% OFFER: ACTIVATED
Please contribute ANY AMOUNT RIGHT NOW to help CRUSH our End-of-Year goal and to increase your impact by 1000%. >>
CONTRIBUTE $20 = $220
CONTRIBUTE $15 = $165 CONTRIBUTE $10 = $110 CONTRIBUTE $5 = $55
CONTRIBUTE ANY AMOUNT
This is the FINAL DAY to contribute and we’re still $1,000,000 short of our goal. I’m counting on my best supporters, like YOU, to step up.
My team is giving me the FINAL list of supporters TONIGHT. Will I see your name?
Please contribute $5 RIGHT NOW to get on the FINAL list of supporters I see and to increase your impact by 1000%.
Thank you,
Donald J. Trump
President of the United States
This kind of thing has raised a half billion dollars for Trump in the eight weeks since the election!
In other words, it “works.”
Has this country always been this stupid, or are social media etc. making things worse? And if the latter is the case, what if anything can be done about it?
