And the five times match is basically saying like, if you donate, you get five times you match the funds from a different organization or group. Cause that's what these are. They're soliciting donations, but they're sounding very desperate. Another one says, we texted you twice. Why did you let your 500% Trump house Patriot match expire again? We'll give you one more time.

It's that, that, that Almost sounds like a threat. Like what are you going to do if they don't give you money? Are you going to go track these people down? Are you going to start calling them at that point saying where the hell is our money? I mean, this sounds like a mafia tactic, really like the next thing you know, they're going to be getting text messages that say, Hey, nice knee cap. She got there. It'd be a shame. If something happened to him, maybe you give us a little money. Maybe we match at 500%. Maybe we forget any of this happened. I mean, these people are crazy and it's pissing off the Trump supporters.
