Trump to Fake His Own Death to Raise Cash, Sources Say

Another ploy to raise campaign cash? Sources say Trump plans to fake his own death after accusing opponents of assassination plot.

As part of his campaign strategy to get elected president, Donald Trump plans to spread a lie that he has come back to life after being assassinated by his political opponents, inside sources reveal. First, he has to fake his own death.

The news follows Trump’s allegations that his opponents want to get rid of him by any means possible.

“Haul out the Guillotine,” Trump warned in a fundraising appeal claiming that his beheading will be the “Sick dream of every Trump-demented lunatic out there.”

“THEY WANT TO SENTENCE ME TO DEATH,” Trump said in his usual understated way.

Which gave Trump the stupendous idea that maybe he could attract even more fundraising support for his campaign if he could warn his followers about the terrible consequences of not continuing to keep the checks pouring in.

“I’ll be terminated if my supporters don’t give me money immediately. Okay?” he said.

The sources said Trump would disappear from public view for a few days after the Republican National Convention nominates him for President. Then when he reappears, his campaign will promote the unbelievable rumors that Trump had risen from the dead to Make America Great Again.

Trump said that he was sacrificing his own well-being on behalf of his supporters, who he claimed were also facing death threats.

“If we fail to have a MASSIVE outpouring of patriotic support — right here, right now — they’ll TAKE ME OUT and move on to their real target: YOU!!” exclaimed the former president.

Maybe he had been out in the oppressive heat too long at his campaign rallies, but Trump fantasized about how he might be killed. In one scenario, he talked about dying aboard a battery-powered boat that was capsizing.

“What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery’s now underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there? Do I stay on the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?”

Trump said he would choose death by the battery electrocuting him rather than jumping the shark–what one political pundit sarcastically said was “exactly the sort of cool thinking we need from a commander in chief when the heat is on.”

One of Trump’s most fervent supporters, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, likened the possibility of the former president’s demise to “the man that I worship” who she said was also a convicted felon like Trump and “was murdered on a Roman cross.”

A campaign source said only someone as brilliant as Donald Trump could make people believe that his opponents planned to have him executed and then like a miracle, reappear in his business suit and red tie and MAGA hat at his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate.

“That will make it 100 percent sure Trump is elected as America’s next president,” said this source.

To add credibility to his charges that his opponents wanted him dead, Trump cited unsealed court filings that he claimed revealed that the FBI wanted to shoot him during a court-authorized search of Mar-a-Lago for classified documents he allegedly unlawfully retained after leaving the presidency.

“It’s just been revealed,” wrote Trump in an email, “that (President Joe) Biden’s DOJ was authorized to use DEADLY FORCE for their DESPICABLE raid in Mar-a-Lago. You know they’re just itching to do the unthinkable…Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger,” the email said.

Rep. Greene and another Trump ally, Rep. Paul Gosar., accused Biden of planning to order a deadly hit on the former president. Another devout Trump follower, Rep. Elise Stefanik, called it a “weaponization of government” against Trump by his top political opponent.

Still another Trump disciple claimed U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland “wanted a shootout” at Mar-a-Lago during the search for classified documents.

All these threats against Trump, said a campaign source, will make the lie totally believable that he had in fact been assassinated.

“People can be duped about a lie if you make it simple, make it big, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it,” said this campaign insider.

When that day comes, the American people will love Trump as their hero and savior even more than ever before, cheered the insider.
