Today's reassuring message from Donald Trump.

In these times on uncertainty, it is good to receive periodic messages from President Trump showing us that that he is doing all he can to protect Americans from Covid-19. His calm demeanor, his respect for science, and his avoidance of politicizing issues relevant to the virus remind me that we're in good hands. What's that you say? Oh. Never mind. (Yes, this was in my email inbox this morning.) ---- Friend, Barack Obama is the most corrupt and incompetent president in United States history. His administration was a total disaster and they need to be held accountable. His administration directed the Federal Government to ILLEGALLY SPY on my 2016 campaign so that he could further the Russian Collusion Delusion. The Radical Left has already shown that they will continue to DEFEND his atrocious actions to try and get me out of office, which is why I’m calling on my BEST SUPPORTERS to step up and FIGHT BACK. We’re less than six months out from Election Day and now that Cheatin’ Obama is a proven CROOK, I want to send a message that our movement is STRONGER and more UNITED than ever before. I want to know who stood with me during this time, so I’ve asked to see a list of EVERY PATRIOT who contributes in the NEXT HOUR. Please contribute $42 in the NEXT HOUR to fight for your President and to get on the list my team hands me. > DONOR FILE SUPPORTER: xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.com ACCOUNT NUMBER: yyyyyyyy - yyyy CONTRIBUTION STATUS: $0 DEADLINE: 1 HOUR CONTRIBUTE $42 CONTRIBUTE $250 CONTRIBUTE $100 CONTRIBUTE $50 CONTRIBUTE $42 I need to know that I can count on you right now, Friend. The Obama Administration is turning out to be one of the most corrupt and incompetent in U.S. history and we can’t let them get away with it. You’ve never let me down before, and I know you won’t start now. I expect to see your name on the list, Friend. Please contribute $42 IMMEDIATELY to get on the list of supporters I see. Thank you, (President Trump Signature Headshot) Donald J. Trump President of the United States

That sounds similar to those mails that tell me to send some money to a lawyer so that they can send me an inheritance I have in Nigeria.

This comes from a site called "info@tendingconservatism.com." I really do believe that Trump's people are behind it. I still have not received my millions from the Nigerian Prince.

Well, well, well! So Obama IS the President of the United States but his Administration (singular) is clearly a thing of the past, though it suddenly becomes a plurality (like one of those 'can of worms' fireworks, one supposes) because THEY need to be held accountable. (There's another of those fireworks further down, after the demand for contributions). Do I divine that you missed the deadline and that your name won't be on the list that the big man sees? Don't worry! It won't matter because you can't actually imagine him saying "Hmm! I don't see TheHorse's name anywhere here!" Whoever wrote this guff (and I'm sure it wasn't Trump - probably a class-mate who got a couple of marks more than ol' DT in English class) surely doesn't expect anyone to be taken in by this! Sadly, I'm afraid that quite a number will have duly sent off their payments of $42 to an organisation which really only cares about the cash and the verified email address.

@TheHorse Given his unimpeachable reputation for veracity and his God-given mission, why would it not be?

I wonder who sold them my email address. In another one of these emails, it said that Trump had personally scanned his list of contributors and noticed that I wasn't on there. Could this...possibly...be...untrue?

The email seems so suspect. Does the US president really solicit money through emails? Where I live, I have never received any emails from any politicians asking me to donate money to them. Is this legit from the President?

I'm in! I hope you got your payment to him without fail. You need to Make America Great! and not let the crooks take office. You mean this wasn't a legitimate plea for help? I'm devastated. Well, okay, bye, bye, spam.

I'm still trying to figure out what Obama has to do with anything. Is he running again this year?

@TheHorse No. He's been in the news lately. They're sending out subpoenas to some of the people in his White House. I think he's getting one too. I don't know the whole scoop of what's going on, only what I see in the headlines that cross my computer.

I used to get these messages about once a week. But now it seems like it's every other day.

It's a clear scam! In these trying times, money is needed for survival, and there are fools who prey on innocent people!

This is real. It refelcts the depths to which American politics have sunk. No, I would not respond to it.
