(CNN)President Donald Trump's re-election campaign used a photo of a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, shooting in an email Saturday that asks its recipients to donate money to the campaign.

The email contains a photo of 17-year-old Madeleine Wilford in a hospital bed surrounded by her family, Trump and the first lady. The President visited Wilford on February 16, two days after the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which left 17 dead.

"Trump is taking steps toward banning gun bump stocks and strengthening background checks for gun purchasers," it says. "The President has made his intent very clear: 'making our schools and our children safer will be our top priority.'"

Near the end of the message, there's a link to the campaign's donations page.

Trying to make money off of the bullet-riddled body of mass shooting survivor is yet another new low for the orange scumbag.

1. Disgusting

Not even surprised anymore, daily there is something him and his criminal family and administration does that would jeopardize the presidency of any other person.

18. Beyond disgusting. Trump and family are just filthy trash, just like every Republican.

Republicans are the scum of the earth. People better wakeup and realize that that their government is being taken over by Fascists. Read the history of the rise of fascism in Germany, Italy and Spain and you will quickly realize that the nightmare is being repeated as we sleep. The agendas are identical in every aspect. I will continue to scream this until my last breath. The enemy are no longer to be regarded as harmless nitwits. They are in control with a Nazi madman at the controls. This is no exaggeration. They have the audacity to invite an avowed Nazi, Le Penn, to their CPAC meeting who they met with voracious admiration. When one of their own called them to task for indorsing flagrant sexual predators for office she was driven out under guard to protect her from these howling maniacs who were threating her with violence. The were ready to tear her to pieces like jackals.

2. If the Summer Olympics had a Mambo competition Donald Trump would win the gold.

3. Does anyone actually think bump stocks will be banned? I don't.

4. He must have the family's permission.

How could he use the picture otherwise?

[Retrograde]

10. I think by "must" you mean "legally obligated to have"

their permission, rather that "it can be assumed he has their permision". Given Donnie's usual behavior, I don't think he bothered asking anyone whether they cared if their minor child was being used for fund-raising purposes.

[SergeStorms]

13. I agree.

If Trump and Malaria are in the picture he'd think that's all they need in order to use it as a campaign prop. The savagely wounded girl wouldn't be given a first thought, let alone a second thought. The Trumps are all about themselves. No one else ever enters the equation.

19. If you saw that picture think

Of the one right after where they posed for a picture. He let go of the patients hand,stepped to the front, gave his constant smirk as if she did not exist.

[DesertRat]

5. He spent a total of about 10 min. with the Parkland survivors in the hospital

Just long enough to get a picture to use to ask for campaign donations. Disgusting.

6. But it would make a good anti-NRA commercial:::: Republican Prez against extremist NRA position.

7. Every time I think they've sunk to the bottom of the pool, they prove me wrong...

...by sinking even lower.

Not far from hitting rock bottom.

11. They've only reached the magma layer

They're heading for the molten core. Maybe they'll get trapped there. One can hope.

8. How craven is that?

[Angry Dragon]

12. Trump can take your lemons and make them into his lemonaide.......

How to make money from someone else's pain

[raven mad]

14. How fucking much more low-class tacky can he get?

Oh, wait - there's always Ivanka..............

[Scarsdale]

15. Also, Beavis and Butthead.

The tRump "boys" They both seem to have had as much Botox pumped into their faces as Princss Iwanka.

[ehrnst]

16. "pawing for silver at the bottom of the casket"

Like the GOP did with Terri Schaivo, using her death to raise campaign money.

[Javaman]

17. they are simple despicable. nt

[riversedge]

20. We knew it was going to be a photoOP but to use to raise campaign funds is dirty!
