(Fear of Missing Out). Like, what if Dump declared Marshall Law or something? Turned out to be a nothingburger, a lame rehash of his lamest hits, bookended with pleas for money from the rubes.

with the fund raising emails sent earlier in the day with a 9 pm deadline for giving and immediately after the speech extending the deadline for those who hadn't contributed.

Total con job, with a lie about the use of the funds, too.

The people responding to Trump's fundraiser were probably watching Fox, and would have seen the speech anyway.

to cover HIS immigration speech...

Not showing the turdface, and only mentioning his lies in passing, would have REALLY gotten to him. He MUST have his air time, or he freaks.

Instead, they set him up to raise yet more donations from his deplorables, which he is going to keep for himself.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
