Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is receiving backlash from the president’s own supporters after bombarding them with spam text messages constantly asking for donations.
As Right Wing Watch notes, many angry Trump supporters took to Twitter over the weekend to urge the Trump campaign to stop sending them so many messages as they have grown tired of the constant harassment.
The Trump campaign’s texting strategy is to send out panicky missives several times a day letting supporters know that they’re “failing” the president by not donating more money.
“You FAILED to use your 5x match,” reads one text message. “It EXPIRED… Why did you let us down? LAST CHANCE.”
“We texted you TWICE,” reads another. “Why did you let your 500% Trump House Patriot match expire AGAIN? We’ll give you 1 more chance.”
This prompted many Trump supporters to grow tired of the constant spamming.
“I badly want the President to win!” wrote Trump supporter Jon Schweppe. “I’m just worried this is putting ordinary people off. Ease up on the hostage demands.”
“These emails are so sleazy,” replied “Bitcoin millionaire” Erik Finman. “It’s really sad picturing grandmas and such getting these and believing it.”
“WTF is wrong with you?” asked pro-Trump columnist Kurt Schlichter. “Stop this. Do it now.”
“I’m constantly getting texts like this from yesterday,” wrote one of Schlichter’s followers in response. “I received 4 of the same text, all within 10 mins of each other. I texted ‘STOP’ & got a text stating I’m now unsubscribed, only to have a different number send me more of the same the next day.”
Another one of Schlichter’s followers said that the constant barrage of texts “makes me sorry I ever donated to anyone’s campaign,” while another wondered, “Is the NRCC deliberately trying to sabotage the election?”

I'm getting multiple texts a day similar to this. AND THE EMAILS…my emails have doubled because of the incessant begging for money from the GOP and various campaigns. Makes me sorry I ever donated to anyone's campaign.

That's just bullshit. Is the @NRCC deliberately trying to sabotage the election?
