A growing number of people within President Donald Trump’s conservative support base say they feel insulted over the aggressive, spam-like text messages they receive from the Trump campaign and national Republican groups seeking their money.
Studies have shown that more than 90 percent of text messages are opened and read within three minutes of being sent, making it a valuable tool in the arsenals of Democratic and Republican campaigns to conduct outreach with their supporters.
The Republican apparatus surrounding the Trump reelection effort has gone a step further by placing the technology at the center of its digital strategy, according to Politico.
As a result, the cellphones of many self-proclaimed Trump supporters have become inundated with aggressively-worded text messages from toll-free numbers accusing them of abandoning their president if they don’t fork over their cash to Republican groups.
“I’m a strong Trump supporter, but they’re ridiculous,” Lisa Banner, a Georgia-based Trump supporter, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Banner said the president’s campaign sometimes texts her multiple times a day asking for money.
