Pardon the delay… I had an unexpectedly long day away from the computer today.
@Yellowdog “Trump and his campaign would not be involved in gimmicks at this time.”
“Trump’s campaign is not asking for money from random people, if that’s what you are implying. He has plenty of support.”
– Well… let’s see:

(Looks genuine to me, like the previous 1200+ official Trump/GOP emails I have received in 2020 alone.)
You’re our weekly winner.
Zaku,
CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve won the Weekly Trump Patriot 1000% IMPACT OFFER!
Every week President Trump selects one of his BEST supporters to receive an exclusive 1000% IMPACT OFFER, and this week, it’s YOU.
This offer is only available to you for the NEXT 2 HOURS, Zaku. After that, your offer will be given to the next Patriot in line.
Please contribute ANY AMOUNT in the NEXT 2 HOURS and you can increase your impact by 1000%.
. . .
President Trump knows that you’ve been a dedicated supporter, which is why he selected YOU for this opportunity.
He wants to know the moment you make your contribution, so don’t wait.
So… @ragingloli guessed correctly, with the first answer, answering both questions correctly.
(As I’ve mentioned before, no, I’ve never supported Trump in any way. I don’t know how they even have my email address, except via online petitions I’ve signed protesting the administration’s actions.)
So, actually @Yellowdog, Trump’s campaign is doing exactly what you kept saying it wouldn’t and wasn’t doing. In my case, several times per day, in fact.
And good guess @Tropical_Willie . While an expensive trip to meet Trump wasn’t on offer this time, I have been offered that several times earlier in the year, and in previous years. Also a few “chances” to win a trip to go to a rally, if I donated.
Oh and @Nomore_lockout was close too in that I have also been offered MAGA hats and other MAGA stuff.
