“Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?” the email said.

Donald Trump’s administration has been using federal officers to go after undocumented immigrants, but now his political action committee is threatening to sic the agents on his own donors.

Earlier this week, Trump’s Never Surrender PAC sent out a fundraising email that had this provocative subject line: “Are you an illegal alien?”

“Your file says you’re a top MAGA patriot... But my records to my survey STILL say: RESPONSE PENDING. Don’t tell me, you’re an Illegal Alien?!? That cannot be true!” the message said, before adding, “This is your FINAL MOMENT to Prove me wrong ... please. Are you a proud American Citizen or does ICE need to come and track you down?”

Trump eventually betrays everyone who trusts him.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 months ago

Eventually? He betrayed them all out of the gate. Donors. Inner circle, everyone.

Jesus fuck, he looks like a bag of shit. Can’t he just fucking die already.

I'm starting to think he didn't eat as unhealthy as we've been told. Narcissism does seem to make you live longer though.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes souls are much more healthy than we thought .

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's offensive to bags of shit.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Its a literal description of trump: meat bag filled with shit.

"only donors are safe [for now]"

in 1984, the main character Winston only has to go to Room 101, because he was IN the Party. The Proles got to live outside the hell we learn about in story.

the insiders who don't follow the insider rules will suffer in ways that are usually much more harsh

He's just taking the piss now, and trying to see how much getting fucked in the arsee his supporters are prepared to take.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

His supporters will say "oh he's joking" but yeah, why is he joking about this!?

The first thing I thought was this. The second thing I thought was the image of Hillary Clinton laughing at it with other elites.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

So the Trump mafia is doing their extortion in the open now?

[–] Red_October@piefed.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if this will be enough to wake some of those magats up, realizing that he's actually just using ICE as the magastapo and the leopard absolutely WILL eat their face the second it's more convenient to do so.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

If child rape didn't do it, nothing will.

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Go ahead. Give them the taste of what they voted for

"I love paying my extortion money!" -MAGA

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I'm honestly really curious about how trump and maga think this is going to end

I mean, realistically, everyone needs support, e en dictators, especially aspiring dictators like Trump.

Yes burning bridges faster than you can say "fat orange loser", and with first trying to talk shit about the second amendment and now threatening their donors... You're going to find yourself without allies real soon, and magats aren't exactly know for their great sense of humor.

If they go in like this, magats will turn on trump and fix the problem for us
