'Don't Reject Me!' Trump Fundraising Email Lures MAGA With Bogus Advisory Board Seat

A fundraising email sent on behalf of President Donald Trump is offering supporters a spot on what it calls the 'Official 2026 Trump Inner Circle' — described as his 'elite Midterm Advisory Board' — in exchange for a donation. The email, made to appear as though it came directly from Trump himself, carries the subject line 'Don't reject me!' and was sent by Trump National Committee JFC Inc., a joint finance committee. It is the latest in a growing string of fundraising messages that promise donors exclusive access and elevated titles that carry no real authority or function.

The offer lists several supposed perks, including 'breaking Trump Alerts first,' 'private midterm strategy updates,' and access to Trump merchandise. 'This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Capped at 150,000. Almost full. No extensions,' the email reads. 'Don't let another Patriot take your place. We both know this spot belongs to you!' The language is designed to create urgency, prompting recipients to feel they are on the verge of missing out on something rare — even though the position itself does not exist in any formal or legal capacity.
