Donald Trump Asks Supporters To Donate $15 To ‘Get Him In To Heaven’
Donald Trump’s campaign recently sent a fundraising email that surprised many. The message asked supporters to donate $15 to “help him get to heaven.”
The email, written in Trump’s name, blended religious themes with political messaging. It referenced his past victories, economic record, and survival of an assassination attempt as signs of divine favor.
The subject line read: “I want to try and get to Heaven.” The body urged supporters to “NEVER SURRENDER” and contribute to a 24-hour fundraising blitz.
Fact-checking site Snopes confirmed the email’s authenticity. It was distributed through official campaign channels, despite its unusual tone.
The request left many social media users baffled and prompted widespread mockery. Some linked it to recent false rumors about Trump’s health or even death.
In a previous interview, Trump had mentioned his desire to “get to heaven,” noting he was “at the bottom of the totem pole.” This email seemed to extend that unusual narrative.
Political analysts are divided on the strategy. Some see it as effective showmanship for his base, while others view it as a concerning blurring of religious and political appeals. The campaign did not specify how the funds would be used.
