Donald Trump's Desperate Mass Email Asks Supporters for $15 Donations to Help Him 'Get to Heaven'

President Donald Trump has sent a mass fundraising email asking supporters for $15 (£11) donations, framing the contribution as part of a spiritual battle and suggesting his political success is tied to his chances of reaching heaven. The email, part of a '24-HOUR TRUMP FUNDRAISING BLITZ' sent on Sunday, 25 January, combines references to divine intervention, political persecution, and a specific financial ask.

The message invokes Trump's July 2024 assassination attempt, stating: 'I came millimetres from death when that bullet pierced through my skin,' before declaring that God saved him 'TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN'. The unusual religious framing appears to be a callback to Trump's August 2025 appearance on Fox & Friends, where he admitted he wants 'to try to get to heaven if possible' but revealed doubts about his prospects, saying: 'I'm hearing that [I'm] not doing well.'

A '24-Hour Blitz' for Redemption

The email, which hit millions of inboxes on Sunday, urged supporters to contribute $15 (£11) to the cause. The text framed the donation as part of a larger spiritual battle rather than a standard political fundraising request.

'My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen! But I believe that God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' the email stated.

This narrative of divine selection transforms a standard political donation into an act of religious affirmation, with the implication that supporters are helping a man fulfil what he describes as a God-given mandate.

The Burden of the 'Call to Duty'

The email transitions from spiritual gratitude to a sense of obligation. 'SO NOW, I have no other choice but to answer the Call to Duty, but I can't do it alone,' the message declares, painting a picture of a leader besieged on all sides.

Trump's team listed a litany of grievances that have become central to his political identity: 'You were there when they launched: The Russia Hoax, the first Impeachment, the second Impeachment, the rigged 2020 election, the Raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Arrest and Mugshot at the Fulton County Jail, the Removal from the CO ballot, the sham cases in DC/FL/NY/DC, the first Assassination attempt, the second Assassination attempt, and so much more!'

Each item on this list serves as a badge of honour for his base, reinforcing an 'us against the world' mentality. The request to 'join with MILLIONS of your fellow PATRIOTS' by contributing $15 (£11) is presented as the only way to 'keep the wins rolling in'.

Why 'Heaven' Is Suddenly on the Agenda

The focus on the afterlife is not entirely unexpected. During his August 2025 appearance on Fox & Friends, Trump candidly admitted that he wants 'to try to get to heaven if possible' but revealed he had doubts about his prospects.

In typical transactional fashion, Trump seemingly views his geopolitical actions as leverage for his soul. Speaking about his efforts to end the war in Ukraine, he noted: 'But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.'

This latest email campaign appears to operationalise that anxiety. By tying his political success and the donations that fuel it to his 'Call to Duty', the implication is that supporting Trump is not just good politics but a moral imperative that aids his journey towards redemption.

Whether this strategy will secure him entry to heaven remains a theological mystery, but the campaign is banking on it securing enough $15 (£11) contributions to keep the political machine running.
