Fact-check: Donald Trump did not send out a fundraising email containing the 'nuke codes'

Check it out, the fact-checkers are finally fact-checking the Left for a change. We hadn’t seen it until the Associated Press brought it to our attention, but apparently, people on Twitter were passing around a “screenshot” of a fundraising email sent out by Donald Trump following the raid on Mar-a-Lago in which he gave out the nuclear codes.

According to the AP, that image is manipulated:

The AP reports:

The former president has indeed been sending fundraising emails to supporters following the FBI’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

But Trump did not send an email in which he shared “nuke codes” as part of that fundraising campaign, as social media posts are claiming.

“NEW: Donald is fundraising by giving us ‘nuclear codes,’” read one tweet Friday, shared by thousands. “This is a f—— joke to him.”

The manipulated image presents an email from contact@email.donaldjtrump.com whose body text reads, “The nuke codes are 15-25-50-80.” It then asks recipients to donate $15, $25, $50 or $80.

There sure are a lot of sore lefties in the replies moaning about how it would be easy enough to believe, seeing as it’s Trump.
