John,

According to a recent poll sponsored by NPR/PBS NewsHour and Marist College, Donald Trump has a 7 point lead over Joe Biden on the question of who would do a better job than Joe Biden on the economy.

That’s the one issue in which Trump still holds a significant lead—but the New York Times bombshell report on Trump’s taxes is a golden opportunity to eliminate that one last issue where Trump has an edge.

Dear John,

One of the main reasons Donald Trump is sitting in the Oval Office is that he sold Americans on the lie that he is some kind of genius businessman.

In fact, even with 13 million people out of work right now, polls still have Trump over Joe Biden when it comes to the economy. 

But this week, we were handed a silver bullet to destroy Trump’s phony image as a good businessman forever.

As you likely saw, the New York Times published a bombshell expose on Trump’s tax returns that show that he not only pays almost nothing in federal taxes, but he’s also lost billions over the past two decades, and almost certainly broke the law along the way. Details from the Times story show Trump could face prosecution for bank fraud, tax fraud, wire fraud, and mail fraud.

His golf courses hemorrhage money. His real estate investments have crashed spectacularly. The only way he’s ever made money is by inheriting it and selling his image.

Right now, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are nearly tied in swing states like Florida, Arizona, Ohio, and North Carolina. But if we can blow up his phony reputation on the economy, we can eliminate any remaining chance of another Trump comeback victory.

That’s where we come in. We’re making short, easy-to-process and share explainer videos showing just what Trump’s tax returns mean about his business acumen and presidency.

We know this tactic works. A study last year found that 54% of voters thought that Trump was a “successful businessman,” but once those voters were shown evidence that Trump lost $1.2 billion in a decade, that number fell to 43%, more than enough to erase Trump’s lead on the economy.

We have built one of the largest social media followings in the country, and now we need to leverage that audience to help make our explainer videos on Trump’s tax returns go viral before he wins another term. 

Will you donate now to help support our work to make sure Americans know the truth before it’s too late?

Thank you for standing with us,
