President Donald Trump is once again turning faith into a fundraising tool, rolling out a new money pitch to his MAGA base built around the slogan, “I want to try and get to Heaven.”
He first floated the phrase in late August while defending his push for a Russia–Ukraine peace deal, suggesting the effort might help secure him a spot in the afterlife.
Last week, Trump’s political action committee, Never Surrender, Inc., emailed supporters asking for $15 donations and used “I want to try and get to Heaven” in the subject line.
In the email, Trump pointed to his survival of last year’s assassination attempt and his political career as proof of divine intervention, proclaiming, “God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Meidas News published screenshots of the email in which he lists his accomplishments against his former rival, Hillary Clinton, his legal battles, and his impeachment acquittals as part of a spiritual mission before declaring a “24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ,” asking his supporters to send in $15.
“Last year, I came millimeters from death when the bullet pierced through my skin. My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen!” the president claimed.
“But I believe God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” he continued.
“I wasn’t supposed to beat Crooked Hillary in 2016 – but I did. I wasn’t supposed to secure the border & build the greatest economy in history – but I did. I certainly wasn’t supposed to survive an assassin’s bullet – but by the grace of the almighty God, I did. SO NOW, I have no other choice but to answer the Call of Duty, but I can’t do it alone,” Trump promulgated.
Trump has turned his return to the White House into a personal payday, using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family. Once facing financial freefall, Trump and his sons have since cashed in on foreign development deals, flashy crypto ventures, and licensing projects tied to the Trump name—moves that have reportedly doubled his fortune to more than $5 billion.
The email concludes, “This is our moment to show the world that we will NEVER back down, NEVER give an inch, and NEVER SURRENDER in our fight to save this country. That’s why I’ve launched a 24 HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ, and I’m asking everyone to chip in $15 to make it one for the record books!”
Social media was the least bit surprised that man who wrote the “Art of the Deal” and considers himself to be a premier dealmaker would try to bribe his way into heaven.
“I didn’t know God accepted payments for entry and the gates are pearly, not gold. He’s grifting the flock, AGAIN,” Donamaria said on X.
Another added, “So donation will pay his way? Makes no sense. He’s going to hell anyway.”
“Call me crazy but I am thinking that if one is trying to get into heaven, trying to get people to give you money when you have earned 3 billion or more since taking office in January is maybe not the best approach,” social media user Amy Coplan posted.
Some users turned their disgust to Trump’s loyalists, MAGA for seemingly falling for the grifting ploy. Others just couldn’t believe it’s real, “clearly this can’t be real??”
“Wait. The staged shooting has gone from supposedly clipping his ear (no scars, wonder why?) to now piercing thru his skin? Damn. MAGA deserves to loose all of their money for falling for this chicanery,” one user mused.
“😂😂😂😂 he forgot the word staged. Staged assassination attempt. His idiotic cult members wore sanitary pads on their ears and it was all fake. Such a pathetic bunch,” Lisa All said doubling down on the crticism.
“What morons believe this crap? 🙄🥴,” user Harmlou asked.
Only Trump and his idiots would think you could buy your way into Heaven,” C.G concluded.
Trump has used religion before to raise money, comparing his political aspirations to his afterlife. In a previous appeal for donations, Trump declared his wishes for eternal life in paradise, according to Meidas News.
