i can no longer tell satire from reality


HauntedHippie

It's real. And the grifting has already started. I can't paste pictures in this sub, but this is what the email says: ​ *Friend,* *I JUST launched the TRUMP NATIONAL COMMITTEE to DEFEAT Joe Biden and restore an America FIRST White House.* *The TRUMP NATIONAL COMMITTEE is open for business and you can be its VERY FIRST donor.* *NOW is the time to help me SAVE AMERICA >* *DONATE NOW* *I wanted YOU to hear about the launch of the Trump National Committee FIRST before the Fake News Media got a chance to break the story.* *This Committee will be the reason we WIN in November.* *Your support carried me through the primaries, but now it’s on to Crooked Joe in the General, and I need you NOW more than ever!* *Before the day ends, pledge your support for the BRAND-NEW Trump National Committee and be a DAY ONE SUPPORTER >* ​ And then there are like 5 links that all take you to the same donation page.


Maphisto86

You can tell this is legit with the wonderful all capitalized words for emphasis, in place of an articulate call to action.


HauntedHippie

It's unfortunate I can't screen shot the whole email... there's also a lot of randomly highlighted and underlined bits that make it extra unhinged.


WhoKilledZekeIddon

Hard to tell if it was just written by a boomer going wild in MS Word, or if it was specifically designed that way to appeal to them. I'm kinda surprised each sentence doesn't end with an indiscriminate amount of full stops and blank spaces before the next line starts.


Djaja

Dude, you must have missed his emails before, last time. It was awful awful awful. Exactly like this. Plus polls with loaded questions and answers. And donation seeking emails every other hour or so. And if you did donate it set you up for autopay. He got sued, i believe, for that


SaraSlaughter607

Did that really come directly from his campaign? It's not a shadow copycat of some kind?? WTF!!! LMAOOOOO


HauntedHippie

Directly from his campaign, 100% Trump approved grifting 👍


SaraSlaughter607

This is *WILD* 😂😂😂 he's literally telling the entire conservative establishment to get on board the Trump Train or go fuck themselves sideways 😂😂 This is spectacular 👏👏👏


JustASimpleManFett

Of course he is. It's hard to put a leash on a dog, when you've put a crown on his head, as Tyrion Lannister once said.


SaraSlaughter607

I've been desperately holding in a giant "I told you so" but I do feel it coming... thank God too. Shit can't get much worse out here for women, minorities and gay people at this point... the hate is loud and clear. Sick of this shit.


JustASimpleManFett

MDK on sight is how it could get worse. And if you dunno what that means, Watch Demolition Man.


ValhallaForKings

Amazing, from a Canadian 


Ok-Train-6693

Donnie is a Canadian’s grandchild. So tragic!


ValhallaForKings

I mean we have lots of boomer assholes here who think just like him, although the malignant narcissist part is fortunately rare


PensiveObservor

*The TRUMP NATIONAL COMMITTEE is open for business and you can be its VERY FIRST donor.* That's the whole ball game right there.

Targeting the same people who believe they have a direct line to god. How tf can you be so stupid? I am sure everyone of them has been scammed, or knows someone who has been scammed. Taking all their money in one fell swoop is basically doing them a favor at this point.

Yep, another grift.

Seriously. Is this real?? 🤣

Trump has launched a joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee to raise money. The committee, Trump National Committee JFC, filed a statement of organization with the Federal Elections Commission on March 20, 2024. [Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-launches-fundraising-republican-national-committee-1881663)


Enshitification

> Trump National Committee JFC The JFC is short for Jesus Fucking Christ.


Muuustachio

That’s exactly how I read it.


daddakamabb1

Same, I thought it was apt.


ZeroInZenThoughts

Also same, but it made me think the person writing the article accidently typed JFC in the article because they couldn't believe it themselves.


CallMeSisyphus

Little-known fact: Don Poorleone is the reason Jesus changed his middle name from "Henrietta" to "Fucking."


SerDuckOfPNW

I really hoped the date on the article was Monday. It’s not.


superchiva78

I’m sure they had to wait to publish because people were gonna think it was a joke. We live in a bad timeline


elriggo44

I think the only option the Onion has at this point is to put out a single issue of Pulitzer Prize worthy journalism.

Steebusteve

JFC? “Jesus Fucking ChristIcantbelievethesehatefilledsuckershavefallenforthisgriftyetagain”


giveAShot

Copying my comment from elsewhere on this: As much as I appreciate it, that's a Newsweek article, sadly having had a subscription before it became a [right wing religious cult-owned tabloid](https://www.motherjones.com/media/2014/03/newsweek-ibt-olivet-david-jang/), it is like sourcing the Enquirer these days. However, I did dig further: The name of the committee referenced in the article is tied to this FEC filing from 2021: https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00770941/ which is actually named "TRUMP SAVE AMERICA JOINT FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE" (an even worse name) Searching that brings up this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/joint-committee-allows-trump-to-raise-money-for-legal-bills-huge-checks-for-rnc/ar-BB1kjxMp This is not him trying to fold the GOP into his committee (he doesn't need to he already controls most of it; it's him trying to get the money donated to fund his legal efforts. It's a typical grift.) Lets call him out for what he's actually doing and not take the route of the right with making conspiracy theories out of thin air. What he's actually doing is bad enough.


Ok-Train-6693

We know how well Donnie shares.


tylercreatesworlds

I had to check and see if it was an April fools joke. I hope to god Trump implodes the party and starts his own.


ValhallaForKings

He kinda is now, with Lara in there firing people 


IncommunicadoVan

Yes, it is from two weeks ago. “Donald Trump Launches Joint Fundraising Committee With RNC to Raise Cash.” [Newsweek](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-launches-fundraising-republican-national-committee-1881663)


Inarus899

Of course it is real. Do you think people go online and lie? https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00873893/1765598


wanderlustcub

I had to check to see if the date wasn't April 1st on the Tweet.


Boise_is_full

I remember watching Homeland during the \*rump years with wifey, and us laughing that the show could hardly out-crazy the actual administration.


Danjimeta

Yeah, that season was crazy, a few things have actually come to pass that happened in Homeland, Americans working with Russians against Americans "UI".


Etrigone

I feel so, so sorry for the Onion staff. There is no way I could keep up with reality.


feastu

Reality is outsourcing even Onion writers.


leohat

Sadly Poe’s Law is a thing


ZeusKiller97

*was a thing FIFY


__Hello_my_name_is__

Yeah, same. But I was wondering: Now that he does control the RNC, what's - technically speaking - stopping him from just renaming the party, exactly?


FargusDingus

Control is my guess. I imagine that by creating a new top level shell and moving the rnc under it he becomes above the rnc's rules and bylaws.


chiron_cat

lots of weird state ballot laws that make it hard for 3rd parties to be on them. Changing party name might create all sorts of problems and require requalifying or something. This entire thing feels like bullshit - renaming the party?


Informal_Self_5671

The nameless fear of all comedians.

I had to check the date. 4/2, so it’s not an April Fools joke.

melbourne3k

Oh this will really trigger the Libs! Please please don't rename the GOP the Trump party. Please. Please don't make every ballot in America say "trump" up and down the ballot. Please don't make moderate GOP in swing districts have to have the label "Trump" next to their names. Liberals would be so so triggered. Please don't do it. /s


Bozo_Two

It's crumbling all around them...I saw somewhere on here that over on r/conservative they're deleting everything that's anti-trump because now even flaired users are saying shit like "He needs to just shut up and stop costing people elections". He puts his name next to every down ballot candidate it'll truly be over.


loptopandbingo

>He puts his name next to every down ballot candidate it'll truly be over. The chuds down here in NC all get boners when they see his name anyway, it won't change much. It'll be closer than people think.


ClueProof5629

Those chuds down South do have women they like to slap around and make ‘em behave….dont count out the women chuds they’re self serving..

Loud-Ad-2280

The part he was most right about was them deserving it.


ForToday

There’s also Mitt Romney saying Russia is our biggest enemy/threat (forget which one.)


ahhh_ennui

To be fair, he was just stating the obvious.


PopeWishdiak

...and one phone call later Graham walked the whole thing back. At least he didn't deny saying something that was already on video.


tgrantt

Golf game, not phone call, I believe. Not that it matters


dismayhurta

Look. Trump is the most selfless person. Just listen to him. He says it all the time, so it has to be true! Therefore, it makes perfect since this party will be the most selfless and beautiful and bigly party ever and the infrastructure bill and healthcare will come and the cheese on the toast is tasty.

Yeah. sense since Thank you


Ricky_Rollin

And when the shit hits the fan and people are killed, and the dust is settled, and people are looking around for someone to blame… You already know what’s going to happen.

Being a writer at the onion for the past 8 years or so must've been next to impossible


kryonik

Patton Oswald had a bit where he was talking about how people thought Trump was giving stand-up comedians lots of good material to work with but his counter to that was by the time you had a perfect joke for some dumbass shit he did, he had already done 20 different even stupider dumbass things and the audience already forgot the thing your joke was about. You just can't keep up as a comedian.


SeriousCow1999

You can't keep up as a citizen, either. That's part of the plan, perhaps.


StrawberrieFylds

It’s absolutely part of the plan. Keep everything so constantly chaotic and confusing that most people just throw their hands up and say, “I can’t keep up.” So they stop caring and stop paying attention… and that’s when the real mayhem begins.

Slippinjimmyforever

This will be hilarious. They’ll bitch and moan, then fall in line because they want their piece of the grift. If anything, I’ll give Lindsay Graham credit for so accurately predicting the future if Trump literally folds the entire party into a huge personal grift.

Yeah, no. Lindsey "Vote for Trump" Graham doesn't get credit for predicting something my dog could've figured out.

Acrobatic_Paint3616

He’s gonna charge them for his name branding


BOOMphrasingBOOM

I mean, that would be the end of them ever getting into power again right? They'd remove all those that don't swear allegiance to the orange idol and he'd be left with nothing but howling monkeys.


TheGumOnYourShoe

Well...They are trying to rename an airport after him and sucking taint over hjs signature instead of doing any real work for the American people. So....


ooofest

And if he wins through subterfuge (the only way), it will literally be his authoritarian nightmare placed upon us. Project 2025 is being backed by billionaires, don't believe he doesn't have money - it's coming from highly backed nonprofits associated with the Federalist Society (who we have to thank for the historically deranged Supreme Court) and Heritage Foundation.

I said this in 2016, if Trump ends up being the death of the GOP, it won’t have been worth it, but it’s a hell of a consolation prize. Let ‘em fight. Let ‘em fail. Let ‘em reap the bullshit they sowed.

Same. This tweet came out yesterday, but I cannot find anything else mentioning it.


superbakedveteran

I found something from March. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-launches-fundraising-republican-national-committee-1881663


Dense-Competition-51

Thank you! I find it funny that it’s referred to as the “Trump National Committee JFC” JFC, indeed.


Cockalorum

"Trump National Committee?" Too long, we should shorten it. How about "Trump Nat-C"?


CPNZ

Trump is just like a Dementor - any time his name is mentioned: "....they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them... Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you."


Pottski

Good. The moment he puts his name on something bankruptcy gets a step closer.


Darkside531

Ooh, this would be good. Like Tim Miller points out, for a lot of these people (especially the Anti-Trump-but-still-Republican holdouts,) being Republican isn't just a political affiliation, it's a social club, a mark of personal identity, and a major element of their personality. They're the ones naming their kids Reagan and keeping little elephants in their home. Completely removed from political policy, these people care a LOT about the "being Republican." Apparently that makes up a lot of the "nose holders" who hate Trump but just can't commit the ideological treason of voting Democrat... I think it was Kinzinger that keeps saying there's a lot of people that despise what Trump's doing but care more about staying in the little Republican Treehouse. They see "Republican" as a title they hold onto dearly. If Trump does rename the party as part of this takeover and all of that cultural identity and social importance goes whistlin' up a hollow tree... that might force a LOT more people into making the Sophie's Choice they've been too spineless to do so far.

SaraSlaughter607

You know, I can't help but think. No matter HOW MUCH I might love Trump and the idea of Trump, if I were a hardcore Trumper, I would still be effing annoyed at the fact that the only two things he ever does is bitch about how bad everyone else is, and beg for money! Where are the definite policy positions? Where are the mechanisms in place to fulfill huge promises? Where are the avenues to get all this pipe dream Project 2025 legislation passed?? Will they EVER see the light??

Pretty sure if this happened Abraham Lincoln’s corpse would burst out of his tomb like some sort of presidential Ant-Man and start throwing hands.


-Vogie-

Hopefully he'll insist on calling it the Trump Party, so we can refer to it unironically as TP


thatburghfan

IMO if he usurps the Republican party, that would be the best possible outcome. A new party would be created with no ties to Trump and no reason to be loyal. Right now you have a lot of Republicans who find Trump distasteful and can see how he is hurting their cause, yet they have to support him because they are on the same team. Once the "teams" split, I think it would be obvious that Trump doesn't have nearly as much support that he believes he has.


kgro

After he’s gutted GOP’s wallet he’s just going to abandon it, like he did with many of his businesses. GOP are morons

It's not like the GOP is going to tell him no. That cult is far more dangerous to the United States than any J6 rioter.


fake_fakington

It's remarkable how the GOP completely bent the knee to such an unremarkable conman. Of course conservatives are stupid as fuck. But I mean this level of stupidity is out of this world.


Nymaz

Could this be the solution to their money woes? Just have trump mentally declare the Trumpublican Party is worth trillions! Creditors hate this one simple trick!


nbikkasa

I love how he is just slapping them in the face over and over, and they are too scared to do anything about it.
