Trump sent me a text today. :-(

"This is Pres. Trump. Your early vote has NOT yet been RECORDED on Georgia's roster. I need you to vote GOP. Confirm your polling place >> https://votegop/ga"

I have no idea how or why they have my phone to text to. I guess they bought block info from voter rolls.

that could take repub apathy to get out to vote, TO GET OUT AND VOTE. You know like, oh my my president know’s I didn’t vote yet and I better do it to please him. Or am I reading this way wrong??

TRUMP HEADQUARTERS ALERT-HELP STOP LIBERAL TAKEOVER WITH A LIMITED CONTRIBUTION. In caps. My first thought was he is using the emergency text list for his campaign. Still think he is, they are gonna send out in bunches with different messages so as to not alert.
