Trump fundraising email uses photo from soldiers’ dignified transfer and promises ‘private national security briefings’
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump's political action committee, Never Surrender, Inc., circulated a fundraising email featuring a photo from a Dover Air Force Base dignified transfer, soliciting donations for a 'National Security Briefing Membership.'
- The image stems from the March 7 ceremony honoring fallen U.S. service members, where Trump drew criticism for wearing a branded white 'USA' baseball cap sold on his website for $55. He faced further backlash for wearing the same hat while golfing days later.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom's press office condemned the email on Friday, writing on X that Trump is 'fundraising off of dead soldiers' and calling him 'a deeply SICK and DISGUSTING MAN' for the solicitation.
- The authentic email promises 'unfiltered updates' on national security threats and urges recipients to 'claim your spot' in an exclusive group with links to a donation page, though it lacks details on how briefings would be delivered.
- This solicitation continues Trump's pattern of election-year hustles, including previously marketed branded sneakers and a limited-edition Bible. The fundraising occurs amid the ongoing war with Iran, which has resulted in 13 service member casualties.
