Donald Trump is leaning on his devoted base ahead of his 80th birthday this Sunday, with a new fundraising email urging supporters across the United States to sign what is billed as his 'only official' birthday card, according to a message sent this week by a Trump-aligned political group.
The push came in an appeal from Never Surrender, Inc, a PAC set up to support Trump, which has folded the supposedly sentimental gesture straight into its money-raising machinery. In case you missed it, the President, now 79, has spent the run-up to his milestone birthday transforming the White House grounds into a personal stage, complete with cranes, construction work and preparations for a UFC cage fight on the South Lawn. The email blast slots neatly into that carefully curated spectacle, casting Trump as both embattled leader and star attraction in his own birthday saga.
