A Wednesday email blast from President Donald Trump told followers their “supporter status” had been canceled, directing them to donate in order to restore their standing in the MAGA movement.

Complete with a subject line reading, “I’ve got a massive headache,” the email continued with a purported quote from the president himself, in which he complained, “Don’t tell me this is true?”

“YOUR SUPPORTER STATUS HAS BEEN CANCELLED,” the fundraising effort declared. A yellow button then promised a “FIANL [sic] CHANCE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.”

“The thought of losing you makes my head hurt. I know you would never intend to cancel your journey with the MAGA Movement and me,” the alleged Trump quote continued. “If you’re still with us, I need you to send me your signature to renew your MAGA Membership before the hour clock runs out.”

Although the email claims to require only a “signature,” the button redirects users to a page soliciting fiscal gifts.

Trump’s fundraising tactics have come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the president has become deeply involved in his political fundraising operation, personally reviewing donor lists, urging aides to seek larger contributions, and encouraging requests that in some cases reached tens of millions of dollars.

According to the report, Trump’s fundraising network has brought in more than $800 million since his return to office, with the money supporting projects ranging from his presidential library and a planned White House ballroom to political committees and initiatives tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The Journal further added that several business leaders believed large donations translated into greater access to the president, though outside Trump spokeswoman Danielle Alvarez rejected that characterization, calling Trump “the most successful fundraiser in modern political history” and insisting, “President Trump can’t be bought.”
