Trump’s Bizarre “Get to Heaven” Fundraising Email Has Supporters Scratching Their Heads
Something unusual is stirring in the Trump camp, leaving even loyal supporters baffled. Just days after rumors circulated online that former President Donald Trump had secretly died, he sent out one of his most unusual fundraising emails yet — asking followers to donate $15 to help him “get to heaven.”
The message, which references both his recent assassination attempt and his so-called “divine mission” to save America, has sparked a wave of speculation: is this a genuine spiritual plea, a bold publicity stunt, or a calculated political maneuver blending faith and fundraising?
The Email That Shocked Social Media
Trump, 79, made headlines not long ago when he had to publicly confirm he was alive following a viral rumor claiming he had died. The frenzy began after he went several days without a public appearance, prompting searches and trending hashtags asking, “Is Trump dead?”
Once the rumor took hold, Trump took to Truth Social on August 31 to reassure followers that he had “never felt better,” later dismissing the claims as “fake news” during a public address on September 2.
But now, the former president has stirred new confusion with a fundraising email sent by his PAC, Never Surrender, Inc., obtained by Metro. The email references his near-death experience during the recent assassination attempt and frames it as a sign that God spared him to complete his mission.
The message reads:
“I want to try and get to Heaven. Last year, I came millimeters from death when that bullet pierced my skin. My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen. But I believe God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump goes on to list accomplishments he claims were divinely guided, from defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016 to securing the border and building what he calls “the greatest economy in history.” The email closes with a call to action:
“So NOW, I have no choice but to answer the Call to Duty — but I can’t do it alone. This is our moment to show the world we will NEVER back down, NEVER give an inch, and NEVER SURRENDER. 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!”
Public Reaction
The email quickly circulated across social media, drawing reactions ranging from disbelief to humor. One user quipped, “Money won’t get him to heaven!” while another skeptically noted, “That ain’t gonna work.” Yet others predicted that Trump’s base would respond as expected, contributing without hesitation.
This isn’t the first time Trump has framed his actions in spiritual terms. In a recent Fox & Friends interview, he joked about saving “7,000 people a week from being killed” as a possible ticket to heaven, adding that resolving international conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine situation could also earn him divine favor.
Conclusion
Trump’s latest email blurs the lines between faith, politics, and fundraising like never before. For some, it’s classic Trump showmanship — a way to energize supporters while boosting campaign coffers.
For others, it signals a deeper shift toward overtly religious rhetoric as a component of his political strategy. Whether it’s interpreted as sincere spiritual reflection or savvy marketing, the plea to “get to heaven” has captured attention, provoked debate, and left Americans wondering just how far the former president will go to turn his personal narrative into political momentum.
