Following Donald Trump’s announcement about his lawsuit against social media companies on Wednesday, his team launched a large fundraising operation, sending out emails, text messages asking people to donate. Also, Donald Trump Jr. took to Telegram to beg for cash. And it didn’t go well.
In response, users of the Twitter account Patriot Takes, where QAnon members, white supremacists and Nazis are welcome to promote their ideologies, ridiculed Trump Jr. for begging for money for a supposed “billionaire.”
One user named Scottie Hall, said that Don Jr. should tell his father “to help me out. His (sic) a billionaire. Help me back. Q said you all bad med beds. Let’s see them . (sic) Help a billionaire are you joking. You all a psyop (sic).”
Another person echoed the same sentiment saying that no one should have to “donate in order for your dad to sue.”
“He is a BILLIONAIRE! (sic)” the person said. “Something isn’t adding up here.”
Another user told Jr. not to use WinRed for fundraising because the website scammed them, “backing fraud in November” and that all of their donations went somewhere else. Trump’s account on WinRed was part of the scam that was taking reoccurring payments from supporters’ accounts that they didn’t know they signed up for.
One person said that they weren’t handing over any money until they “fix the election.”
