By clicking on it, his supporters arrived at a site inviting them to donate $5,500 or $3,300 to his campaign. “Did you really think I was going to suspend my campaign? April Fools!”, it is written in capital letters.
Essential donations to candidate campaigns
Since the development of means of communication in the United States, American voters frequently receive SMS, calls and emails in order to contribute financially to candidacies. The donations that candidates collect are precious and the candidates’ communications teams must constantly innovate to try to stand out.
For his part, Donald Trump very regularly discusses his legal troubles through different means of communication. “The Biden Justice Department is trying to put me in prison for life,” he has already sent to his supporters, without proof.
On the Biden side, the campaign team distinguished itself by mocking “broke Don” in an email, evoking his financial setbacks linked to his convictions.
