President Donald Trump has sparked a massive row online after sending a fundraising email offering donors access to 'national security briefings'. The email, sent by Trump's political action committee, features an image from the dignified transfer of US soldiers killed in the Iran war.
The mail promotes a 'National Security Briefing Membership' and urges donors to 'claim their spot' with multiple links for donations. It describes this as an exclusive group that would receive updates about security threats.
Trump's mail further says donors will receive 'my private national security briefings, unfiltered updates on the threats facing America'. The donation page reads 'I AM PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON WE SAVED AMERICA.'
Reactions to the email have been fierce, with many expressing fears about security leaks and calling Trump's actions 'treason'. Democrats like Andy Kim and California Governor Gavin Newsom have also criticized Trump, with Newsom's office calling him a 'deeply SICK and DISGUSTING MAN'.
