Trump fundraises off prime-time address
By Michael Burke - 01/08/19 01:31 PM EST
President Trump is fundraising off his national prime-time address Tuesday focused on the border amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.
Trump in an email Tuesday afternoon asked supporters to donate to his "Official Secure the Border Fund" through the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.
"We need to raise $500,000 in ONE DAY. I want to know who stood with me when it mattered most so Ive asked my team to send me a list of EVERY AMERICAN PATRIOT who donates to the Official Secure the Border Fund," read the email written in Trump's name.
"Please make a special contribution of $5 by 9 PM EST to our Official Secure the Border Fund to have your name sent to me after my speech," it added.

When you have no substance and no shame, it is an easy decision to make to raise money from idiots who follow you. Your time is limited so you have to make money while your name still means something.
