Trump fundraising email uses photo from soldiers’ dignified transfer and promises ‘private national security briefings’



The email, sent by Never Surrender, Inc., promotes what it calls a “National Security Briefing Membership” and urges recipients to “claim your spot” with multiple links to donate, in what it describes as an exclusive group receiving updates about national security threats.

It promises that members will “receive my private national security briefings, unfiltered updates on the threats facing America. The straight truth on border invasions, foreign adversaries, deep state sabotage, and every danger the fake news hides.”

The message includes an official White House photograph showing Trump saluting during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, a solemn military tradition honoring fallen US service members. Trump attended alongside members of his administration.

A flag-draped transfer case, which is used to transport soldiers’ remains, is visible in the photo.

“I’m the strong commander who stares down tyrants, obliterates terrorists, and never backs down,” the fundraising email continues. “This is for patriots ready to stand with that kind of unbreakable strength. Not for the weak or the wavering.”

The email — which was first reported by Patriot Takes, a researcher affiliated with left-leaning MeidasTouch Network — links to a donation page.

“I AM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. YOU’RE THE ONLY REASON WE SAVED AMERICA,” the page reads. “NOW I AM ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER MAKING A SMALL SUSTAINING CONTRIBUTION, SO WE CAN COMPLETE THE MAGA AGENDA! CAN I COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT?”

Donald Trump is fundraising off of dead soldiers.

He is a deeply SICK and DISGUSTING MAN!

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Disgusting.

Only he would try to make money off the deaths of American soldiers. This is sick, and likely illegal.

[progressoid]

2. "I'll get your children killed and you'll give me money"

[enough]

3. We've used up all possible words to describe all the ways Trump has desecrated everything real

in our world. I can’t think of a word strong enough for this evil corruption.

The fact that he and his followers can’t even see this reality is our true national nightmare.

[mercuryblues]

4. This is not going to end well...

for us.

Unfiltered briefings? what a clusterfuck.

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. you definitely cannot count on my support you sick f*ck.

[colorado_ufo]

9. If this LOSER used my deceased son's or daughter's remains to raise money for himself, I think I would lose control!

Of all the despicable things he has done in his life, this goes to the top of the list, sharing that spot with the Epstein files.

13. Fundraising email. Pure BS.

Made up crap to get the rubes to fork over more money. Nobody donating will get "private national security briefings." Hell, he only gets security briefings if they're done in storyboard fashion with little text.

Disgusting.

[Grammy23]

14. Adding insult to injury --

He never removed his hat for the ceremony. According to protocol I read, his hat should have been removed. In addition civilians who have not served should not salute. He should have placed his hand over his heart.

He is so addled that he forgot what he was supposed to do according to protocol. Or more likely — he said screw it. I want this photo-op to look a certain way. Screw the protocol. So what if it’s not the proper way to do this.

[johnnyfins]

15. Or, he didnt want his hair mussed

[Buddyzbuddy]

16. I sure hope those Justices that gave him immunity have paid their tribute, otherwise

they won't be warned in advance.
That goes for all of you Republicans, politicians, MAGA's and non voting Democrats.
The rest of us Democrats will be eliminated in the wrath.

I have a vision of him standing in the candle lit Oval Office surrounded by his sycophants kneeling before him chanting and reaching out to touch his feet.
Something tells me he has the same vision.

[paleotn]

17. That POS will literally do anything for money.

[SunSeeker]

18. His depravity knows no bounds.

[Lars39]

19. Vile degenerate, always trying to make a buck.

20. There's a special hell waiting for him
