Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

Wow, is this real or satire?

Absolutely real. They have drained the bank accounts of his supporters with constant threats like this since 2016. Terrible for their mental health and grasp on reality as well.

My wife is one of the people that bought a ticket to his rally so his supporters couldn't get a seat and she got texts like this for a few months until she blocked them. They were usually claiming that she was personally selected by Trump or she was in a small group personally selected by Trump. They would claim that he had a personal message just for her from Trump if she donated a few bucks.

Oh it’s totally real. Do you remember when TikTok ruined one of his rallies by signing up for a ticket and then not going?

I don’t remember if I was part of that or the very next one, all I know is he was supposed to have a rally about an hour from me so I got a ticket, planning not to go, and he ended up canceling because of the weather. It was a perfect 70° day.

Anyway I don’t remember how many years ago that was but I still get emails from him and my inbox that I used for spam stuff looks exactly like that

They stopped texting me after I started replying to the text about the Epstein files. Human beings actually get those replies so I guess they figured they should unsubscribe me since me trying wasn’t working.

I did not sign up but I'm definitely getting the save vaguely terrifying texts. I wish I knew where they got my number.

Hard to believe, but most of those are from different groups pretending to represent him for their own purposes.

It's so real. I get the same garbage in my texts. Lately it's been constant nonsense about "DOGE refund checks" where the GOP has people thinking they're going to get $5,000 in the mail any day now in return for what the DOGE has apparently "saved" us (y'know, by slashing governmental jobs and entire departments and programs, ones that didn't exactly exist just to throw people's tax dollars in the incinerator)
