This week, liberal political commentator Harry Sisson shared an email that was recently sent out from one of Donald Trump’s newsletters, asking for donations. The contents of the email are…well, you’ll just have to see for yourself.
The subject line reads, “I’m alone and in the dark,” which is obviously coming in a little hot for a donation email, but OK <3.
The email reads: “Some people are saying: This is SAD! I’m sitting here. Alone. In the war room. Fighting for you. The rest of the staff went home hours ago. It’s just me, one dying laptop, and the 72-hour countdown clock to my first mid-month deadline of the year just RANG. We are going to have to ACT FAST!”
Beneath the button to donate (that reads “HOLD THE LINE”), the plea continues, “If we don’t crush my first mid-month deadline of the year, the radical Left flips the House and Senate in 2026 and finishes what they started: Open borders forever. Your guns confiscated. Your kids brainwashed.”
It concludes with, “And worst of all, your favorite President (ME!) might just go through another FAKE impeachment!”
Along with the screenshots of the email, Sisson wrote: “Disgusting grift. Very weird!”
This isn’t the first time Trump has sent a bizarre email asking for donations. In September, he sent this email that read, “I want to try and get to Heaven.” In it, he claimed that God saved him “for one reason” — to make America great again (duh).
Needless to say, people are LOSING ITTTT over the idea of Trump sitting alone with a dying laptop somewhere in the big, scary White House. “Luigi’s Mansion except it’s Trump,” one tweet reads.
They’re also pointing out how dramatic and odd the phrasing of the message is. “when you have a 500 word essay due at midnight,” one person wrote.
Some people are questioning whether it was even Trump who wrote the actual email or if it was instead written by some sort of intern or staff member. A Threads post reads, “There’s no way Trump wrote this. There’s a bullet list, italicized, underlined, and bolded font. He’s impressed when anyone even knows how to turn on a laptop without assistance.”
“I’m curious ….which intern wrote this !!??” a user tweeted. Someone else responded, saying, “Me too. Way too much punctuation, not enough caps lock, and actual grammar. Definitely an intern trying to sound like him but also seem less deranged.”
Others think that the email sounds like those jokey scam messages that were once rampant all over Twitter.
“someone’s racist grandparents are definitely falling for it.”
“i can not comprehend being so ignorant and dumb. the fact that people fall for this and still support this type of scam is beyond me. how. like howwwwwww.”
“‘I’m a prince in Nigeria and I have had my bank account frozen’ type email.”
Either way, we’re just waiting to see if Trump gets that laptop the charger it so desperately needs. Before time runs out…
I’m alone. In the dark. Begging to know what your thoughts are. Let us know in the comments.
