President Donald Trump has sent a mass fundraising email asking supporters for $15 (£11) donations, framing the contribution as part of a spiritual battle and suggesting his political success is tied to his chances of reaching heaven. The email, part of a '24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ' sent on Sunday, 25 January, combines references to divine intervention, political persecution, and a specific financial ask.
The message invokes Trump's July 2024 assassination attempt, stating: 'I came millimetres from death when that bullet pierced through my skin,' before declaring that God saved him 'TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN'. The unusual religious framing appears to be a callback to Trump's August 2025 appearance on Fox & Friends, where he admitted he wants 'to try to get to heaven if possible' but revealed doubts about his prospects, saying: 'I'm hearing that [I'm] not doing well.'
