New Trump campaign ad asks supporters to call 1-800 hotline to thank him

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Hill

President Trump’s reelection campaign released a new TV ad urging his supporters to call a 1-800 hotline to thank him.

In the new ad, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale is seen lauding the president for having “achieved more during his time in office than any president in history.”

"We have a booming economy, historically low unemployment, including the lowest unemployment rate for minorities in history," Parscale said, while also adding that the world is a "safer place" because of the president.

Parscale went on to say this is why Trump’s supporters must "pick up the phone right now and deliver a personal thank you to your president” for all the work he’s achieved.

“We need to let President Trump know that we appreciate what he’s doing for America,” he continues. “I need you to call the number on your screen and deliver a thank you to President Trump.”

This has the potential to backfire bigly. It's supposed to be a way for grateful Trumpers to get hit up for a 2020 campaign donation when they call to express their love for their fav cult leader. I'm seriously considering calling to express my deep revulsion for Twitler and all he stands for. Wouldn't it be fun to flood that number and help fill the recording with outraged comments from Democrats and everyone else opposed to Trump? HAH!

I also wonder if they somehow make money off this deal. Biggest bunch of scammers ever.

* clearing demonstrating to our public how corrupt the entire Republican Party really is, and
* educating our youth as to what a special prosecutor does.

Does he really think he's going to run again ? Get re-elected ? That Mueller is going to find him innocent of all charges ?
