Perhaps I'm misreading the intent of the OP? I thought the point was the tone and how the message from the Trump campaign was worded, not the fact that a request for donations was being sent? I wouldn't think anyone would deny that every political organization sends these out, but none with the shameless tone the Trump organization used. Even in the examples that DKW posted, the Trump mailer was clearly more petulant and aimed at the ego of the recipient, although I do take some exception to the "AT ALL" from the mailer from the Democratic side.

Am I misunderstanding?

Brother I was just being silly at some point. They all appeal to our emotions and at some level are truly ridiculous. The Golden Patriot Award was the worst THAT DAY. I posted up ONE day in my in box. Just one day.

Nobody is as bad as Trump.  So even though they do the same thing it’s still worse because it’s Trump.

No, not "any" problem. 

Just the problems associated with poor presidential leadership - of which there were many concerning the pandemic.

Well, I expect you would be happier if I spent a lot more of my time recalling them strictly from memory.   I apologize for not accommodating you.

(Oh btw, those were not "anti" Trump articles.  They reported what Trump he said and did.  The fact they were blatant mistakes or missteps is on him, not on the people who reported it.)

No need trying to recall. Just seems that Trump was blamed for problems and problems now seem to be beyond presidential control.

Things change quickly don’t they?

You know things that have changed. My suspicion is that some people would place the blame on leadership.
